#16 Santo Derisi out on his Big Gun 450R
#784 Brandon Sommers is making the move from the Stock Class to the Afternoon to compete in the B Class this season.
John Cunningham showed that a Senior rider can stay on the gas through a turn.
#10 Greg trew has been busy practicing in Florida and is excited about the start of the 2005 season.
Nice looking Vforce, it is about time to see something other than green or orange. I don't think #300 Kevin Johnston pit crew will have any trouble finding him.
I will leave you with an action photo of Chris Jenks until the coverage continues tomorrow, so keep checking back.
The Track for Saturday's event was very similar to last years except it was run backwards with several more technical hill climbs and fresh cut tight sections to keep it interesting.
The biggest addition to the course was the rocks and there were plenty more to negotiate than last year with the Afternoon class having to climb a rocky hill that the spectators to watch without walking far from the Pro Pits.
There were also plenty of high speed sections mixed in throughout the course.
With temps in the Mid 50's and the rain heading in from the west the skies were overcast for the start of the Afternoon Race.
The five time champion,Bill Ballance lined up on his Factory Yamaha YFZ. With the support of Yamaha, Bill Ballance will be able to focus on ATV racing more now than ever before, so the competition better come to the track prepared for some high speed racing action.
Notice how plain Ballance's YFZ is this season. Yamaha has limited the number of sponsors that Bill is allowed to display on his YFZ.
