Michael Shelley clears the last obstacle before securing his 2nd place finish in the U2 class behind class winner Micheal Benson
John Gallagher had ridden well enough and hard enough to capture a spot on the podium. He came across the finish line and started off for his pit when he had to be called back so he could get his Outlaw on the podium!
With gallaghers 3rd spot taken, that made two Outlaws on the podium with Parton taking second. The Polaris camp was happy!
The victory would be Traci Cecco's as she walked out of north carolina with yet another class win and the overall! After the course marking issue, dropping back and then her charge to the front, this win would serve as even more coal in her fire to claim another Womens class championship. With 3 wins this season, she is looking hard to beat, but you can bet Parton will do everything she can to take all that away as the season rolls on!
The Youth race is not for folks that like to sleep in with a 8 a.m. start time. Usually around 6:45 am you can hear a youth quad fire up and is soon joined by others as the young riders ready themselves for the days battle.
Groggy eye'd parents slurp on coffee as they check over the rider and ride in the early morning light. The starting line usually has more then one youngin yawning and stretching as the days events get started.
Words of wisdom passed at each event, sometimes quiet praise and encouragement, and always a "be safe"
