koontz Adventures Youth HS race

[Pappy]

This course offered the riders elevation changes that had all the trimmings, loose rocks, roots and tight tree's in places

Lap 9 provided me with this sight....my 2 sons racing. Cody made the pass clean

Inexpierence caused this hang-up...and BOY did she let him hear about it

This rider gets his front wheels high after hitting a large embedded rock

This section of track on lap 10 proved to be the downfall of many riders. The area just to the right is filled with large rocks and grapevine. Shown here are the 2 different lines with a rider taking each

[Pappy]

The 50cc riders just happened to get all bottlenecked up about the same time as Cody reached this area. Ryan and others were being helped thru the section by a course worker and other track help. I didnt even see Cody approach but did get to see him get hung up after trying an alternate line I rushed to help him but he was hung up pretty good allowing 2 other riders in his class to pass him. He ended up 4th in class. Thats racing

Ryan was running 3rd until this same bottleneck which put him back to 7th.

After the race we removed this section of grapevine from Cody's quad

I also raced today, and only planned on riding the course and not actually racing. I tried to be last off the line, i ended up hitting the first turn in 8th. The second turn which leads us into the woods found all but the leader in my class bottlenecked. I quickly saw a line and that was that. I caught the leader a few miles in and quickly passed him. After running into riders hung up on everything you can imagine, I had enough time to watch a rider tackle a hillclimb that 3 others were already hung up on. As he neared the top I dropped the hammer....only to catch him faster then planned and ofcourse, he nails a tree at the top. I couldnt let off the gas so i tried shooting around him, which worked fine until i clipped a tree sending me one way and the 450R another.

After flipping the quad back on all 4's I tried getting it started but it was almost impossible due to the incline. I dismounted and searched for a rock to help hold the quad and keep it from sliding further down the hill everytime i kicked it. Now I dont know about you, but I aint never seen a section of trail without a good rock...until today So back on a kicking like mad to no avail. The rest of my class caught me and all but 3 passed me. Finally getting going I realized my day was done. The clutch lever was bent so bad it was almost impossible to use.
