"Hang Over Harescramble" D-7 @ Rocket Raceway Coverage

Lap two was almost in the books as Borich was opening a gap from the rest of the field big enough to fly a plane through! Not sure what he ate for breakfest, but I think it was some of the smoothest riding I have seen from him yet.

The offcamber turns and mix of jumps had more then one XC rider wanting a set of MX tires for this section

Lagzdins was riding hard, and I cant imagine how fit you have to be to ride for 2 hours on a bike, jump off and go back at it for another hour on a quad. This is not unusual for Andy, the first time I ever had the pleasure of seeing him race was in the late 80's as he did this at that time as well . My hats off to you!

The field spread out a bit after the second lap, with a steady pace settling over the event, Jeffrey Pickens(pictured) was running strong on his new Honda.

Locals being what they are, number plates or other identifying items are void from most of the participants. I tried to find out who some of you all were during the race but thats a hard task after each lap's mud changes what you all look like.

The oppertunity to pass was abundant at this race, on the MX track:p

I sent my brother and son off in different directions to capture the action on video. I have some great footage that I will get posted as soon as I get my computer working (I think its got dirt in the carb:o )

Lap 3 was a replay of the first two laps as Borich continued to lead.

Sturdivant was holding second as he became the target as Borich looked to remain out front, and out of reach.

The top 5 were close enough that a mistake could hurt, all the riders were doing everything they could to gain on the rider ahead of them

After the scoring area, the riders had a small portion remaining on the MX track before re-entering the woods.
