2009 GNCC Racing Series - Round #8- The John Penton - ATV Race Coverage (

The MX section was taking its toll on the riders as many wrecked for various reasons. Catching a bad bounce, hooking up instead of sliding...heck, being muddy and trying to hang on all added up to a few injuries. I did not get any reports of any severe wrecks by the time I left the track, but i do know a spectator suffered a broken leg. Be safe out there, these guys aren't going slow and will run you clean over before you have a chance to say anything about it:p

Cody shook his head after taking this pic of Swift. later I asked him what that was about and he said he just couldnt imagine riding such a large machine as fast as they do...and I agreed 100% with him:p

Kyle Riley clears the first set of doubles as he hammers on. Riley ran into some issues when he hit some water in one of the bottoms and it forced him to the pits for some immediate wrench work.

I asked Cody what he was after in this shot..me working or the rider.

He replied..."Well, the guy looked tired and figured if he ran you over you'd want a pic of it":eek:

I get no respect:p

Batista was running great, and from what I could see, it looked like the Can Am crew helped him out with some fuel.

Thats great sportsman ship!!!

Cody Anderson was chugging along as well. I was hoping he could have a good run here at the Penton

Same rider different angle:p

If you can't tell, me and my kid have a ton of fun doing this even if it is work:p

A few riders got a little throttle happy and would hook up when they didnt want to. Good picture to promote beadlocks:p

The action is always good when you get more then 1 or 2 riders going at it!

I knew it wouldnt be long before Cody made his way back to me...after all, I had the waters:devil:

I wasted no time in snatching my camera from him and handed him the wide angle so he could suck dust for awhile:o
