NQRA TT at Budds Creek 8/21

[Pappy]

The N.Q.R.A. rolled into Potomac Speedway in scenic Budds Creek Maryland and racers from all over the east coast attended.

Early saturday morning the weather was humid but the sun was shining bright. By noon this would change drasticaly and what was perfect blue groove was turned into something more remenisant of a GNCC race!

Promoter Randy Dinkens and his crew worked it all out and the race was completed right at midnight! There were some beautiful machines at this event and some top class riders.

If you missed this race be sure to check out the next N.Q.R.A. event planned for Labor day weekend!

The machines at these events never cease to amaze me. This R is immaculant and the rider didnt ride it easy!

This was the first TT event ive ever attended and I really didnt know what to expect. I was blown away seeing the speeds in person and more then once found myself spitting roost because my mouth was wide open in awe. Watching these guys enter a turn from 5th gear pinned and pitch the quad sideways was insane.

A mobile dyno was at the track to help riders tune and just to see who had what It was full of people watching the dyno runs all day long.

Here a very built 300ex based quad is being run

It didnt take long before open practice started and I got my first eyefull of TT racing

[Pappy]

The first few quads on the track encountered some mud but it quickly got rolled into a course that they could really hammer on

[Pappy]

Soon the tires were hookin' and the speeds increased as the riders and the track took shape

Riders would be on the track for 5 laps then another group would be allowed on. It was interesting watching the racers learn this track and I enjoyed watching every turn!

[Pappy]

Not only did the faster riders quickly emerge I had to learn to try and get more then 1 quad in the picture. It didnt take me long to get the hang of getting these guys on film
