Koontz Series "Pheasant Farm" Youth Race

[Pappy]

Today was the race at "Pheasant Farm" in Parsons WV. The weather was perfect and the track was full of difficulties the young riders had to overcome.

50cc Open rider and class points leader Michael Mussi prepares to widen his lead on the 50 class. Michael is a very talented rider and if he continues his progress I expect to see lots of him in the future!

Dakota Shaffer wanted badly to get a win today. He rode extremely hard and even led a lap.

Alexandria Bunner has really improved since the season started. She has overcome alot of her fear and is riding much better. I think next season she will be one to keep an eye on!

Shaffer was only about 8 seconds back and was actually a touch faster in the woods. The Mussi piloted Arctic cat 50 was fast in the open sections and it kept him out-front!
