    Over the years It's been an event that Bike riders come from all over to race, but in the past 3 or 4 years the Quads have made there presence known. Last year they had over 200 entries so this year they limited the class sizes.... This was just before the start on Sunday. They also ran the smaller Quads on Saturday with the Bike class...

    The focus was on Last years winner Greg Stewart who you see here being interviewed. Actually Stewart has won here the last three years..

    Where as the favorite to win may be Stewart here was my choice. Doug Eichner has tried very hard the last couple years to win here but luck just hasn't been on his side. Last year he had some problems on the start and the year before I do believe it was a tire problem.

    Seen here chating before the start are Perez and my friend Darrell Patton. Last year there was a huge crash about five minutes into the race where quite a few riders went down including Patton. Nick Granlund who was seriously injured last year in that crash couldn't make it here this year.

    It's a dead engine start so they guys with the little electric button do have a little advantage, but not much. As you see in this Photo from the Pro start on the inside is a Yamaha but right next to him are 2 Hondas. Tony Bienert got the holeshot with Patton and another friend and his first year in the Pro class Larry Hayes, were all right there.
