Mike Benson has been on fire the last two races with back to back wins and was leading Georgia until he broke down before the end of the race.
“It looks like its going to be pretty muddy, and I don’t really like running in the rain, but I always seem to do real well in the rain, so I am looking to keep my winning streak going in the Open A class aboard my Four Stroke Tech Honda 500R."
Cory Vickerd wasn’t taken any chances with the all the rain and was mounting himself up some new tires.
ITP Tires, Rick Thompson, was kept busy all day mounting up some new HD Tires for cutting through the mud on Saturday.
While everyone else waited in two long lines for registration, those that pre registered online only had to wait in one short line, which had many wishing they pre registered as well.
Stephanie Parton was hamming it up with fellow women’s class competitor Sefanie Verkade as she pretends to knock her out with her umbrella:eek:.
Stephanie was on cloud nine all day as she and I joked around with each other throughout the day, but lucikly for me, I was the one with the camea and not her:p
A long line quickly formed at Tech Inspection as many riders tried to get through tech before the next line of thunderstorms would arrive.
In between the scattered storms several people including Jesse Wey dug out their fishing poles for a chance to get in some trout fishing and with some great success, I must add, as he caught several trout before calling it a day.
Others just spent time watching there dog's have a blast splashing through the water.
As day turned to night, the rain was once again knocking on the door as severe thunderstorms rolled in this evening dumping atleast another inch of rain and it continues to add up as his hasn't even begun to let up this evening.
Hopefully, the rain will stop by morning, but the damage has already been done, and I am sure that racer productions will most likely have to make even more changes to the track in the morning and even possibily shorten the morning race to only 3 laps, but we won't know for sure till tomorrow, so check back for more live updates throughout the day from the track.
Well the heavy rain continued overnight, and several inches of rain fell on the area which created a disaster in the low level areas of the track with extensive flash flooding that caught hundreds of people off quard.
