WORCS 2008,Round 3-Crazyhorse GP Park-Havasu,AZ-Youth Coverqge

#18p Riley Mulcahy moves up from the 4th position ,moving up to 3rd place finish in the final lap.

The final re-cap of the youth Coverage is the Sport 8-15 class...
I save this class for last because it was HUUUGE!!
Gates were popping at the seams and were staggered forthe Sport 8-15 class.
This was also the most grueling race of the Youth wk end as temps soared into the 90's and the race was pushed back an hour,which meant more heat and a much rougher track....
These kids are TOUGH! MAny of the adults struggled to finish and at times,wanted to pull off. I could hear a few kids in tears from the agony ,blistered hands and sore muscles...

Shifter Sport class -
#177 Cole Fite has the fastest lap time in lap 3 ,Fite leads the race to the checker .

After seizing a motor in the Open Shifter class, ExtrememiniquadsNW Parker Taylor borrows a loaner and takes the #2 .
