4stk C Class Start
The black sand sludge covered everyone after one lap made it very difficult to determine who was who during the race, so unfortunately I can't tell who most of the racers were in my pictures.
More Mud..
Women Class
Stephanie Parton lead the entire race for the Women's Class and Traci wasn't even within striking distance after she wrecked early into the 1st lap and twister her steering stem, so she had to race with the handle bars turned to go straight. After the 1st lap she was over one minute back, and tried to make up time in the 2nd lap.
Unfortunately, her charge was quickly slowed when she lost control and wrecked at high speed, and was thrown over the bars and ran over by her yfz. Fortunately for Traci, her helmet & Moose Gear saved her from being severly injured. She still suffered a fracture, bruises, and scuffs, but still got back on her Alba YFZ and continued to try to make up time. Again, she ran into a bottle neck where the track was under several feet of water. I saw her stuck as I floated my Z past her in the water up to my chest trying the keep the exhaust out of the water.
She came in to pit after the lap and Johnny G and Rick checked on her and Jeff removed her ripped up chest protector number plate.
Traci amazingly went on to finish the race with a fracture and finished an impressive 2nd and 21st Overall. He deterimination was incredible and I wish my great friend a speedy recovery! I am sure all the fellow EXriders.com members will be praying for you to get well soon :)
Traci, will be out for Georgia, but hopefully she will be back for Round #3.
Stephanie Parton rode an incredible race herself! She managed to navigate the rutted and constantly changing course to finish 4th Overall and Win the Women's Class!
Great Job Stephanie
Super Senior
Jay Condon played it smart on his Raptor and rode consistently the entire race and Won Senior Class. Jay is a firm believer in running 22" tires and at this track it definitly payed off for him.
Johnny Gallagher put in an incredible run at the end to trying to work his way back from a horrible 1st lap. He ran almost five minutes faster than the other riders the last two laps, but was only able to work his way back up to 4th place.
Stock Class
Well it didn't take long for the 450R to make its way to the Podium with Jesse Way racing through the elements to finish 3rd Overall and Win the Stock Class.
Will Cashion didn't have a repeat, but still finished 10th!
I ran into my share of problems, but I atleast was able to finish race in one piece after several close calls. I managed to finish 12th.
