Todays event was the first team race planned at this track. Turn out was adequate and I expect to see it grow as more riders find out about it. The team would consist of 2 riders and 1 or 2 quads. Each team had to have a certain class rider (no Pro or A riders could form a team) and each rider could ride thier own quad or the team could share a quad.
The start was dead engine with the riders standing in front of thier machines.
When the hammer dropped on the trusty 12 gauge, the riders quickly fired thier quads and it was on!
Chris Borich(#2) just edges Santo Derisi(#8) at the start
This was Santo's first race on his Honda and he was looking to finish well on it. He battled Chris thru the first turn and thru the whoops section like he had been riding it all his life
The remainder of the field works its way thru turn 1
The racers that were riding the 2nd quads in this event were staged in a row so that officials could make sure clean tags were made and to keep all riders doing what they needed to do after thier lap was complete
1/2 way thru lap one had Chris Borich leading Rob Hertz by mere seconds.
Santo was in 3rd at this point and the field started to become spread out. This rider was running 4th
This YFZ rider compresses his suspension as he flat lands a tabletop. The track at Tomohawk has been changed and it took a lap or two for riders to start hitting the jumps on the mx portion of the course
This rider gets his nose too high but managed to safely land the jump.
