While Daryl worked in the trailer, Tucker spent his time off the track playing with friends.

Keith Little and the LoneStar racing crew were anxious to hit the track. I found out later the benefits of bring along a 4X4 to the races. (to be explained)

Keith stated that he knew his chances of stealing the championship from Tim Farr were slim, but that did not change his determination of bringing home a win this weekend.

With the soon coming to a closure, many riders had for sale signs hanging up to help pay for next years race machine.

The popularity of quads has been raised to a new level this year. More and more spectators are arriving at each event to witness the intensity first hand.

I am guessing this car belongs to a local frequent attender of the tri-city speedway events.

The younger generation continued to play, but you their racing attire assured me it was time to go racing.

I have covered mostly MX events this past year and have never seen some of the techniques of keeping tires from collecting dirt on the way up to the starting line.

Frank Batista has the longest trip to each starting line out of the entire pro line up. Frank travels from California to each of the EDT races.

Unlike the motocross sereis, the EDT series is a one day event, typically.

An early delay Saturday was quickly resolved and the starting like was filled up and green light lit.

As soon as the racing started it seemed like the rain moved in. The downpour quickly fill the track up with water and need much attention to be able to get any more racing in

[tamehart]

The rain created a challenge, but with Rich Hetrick in charge riders were given the best chance of getting back to racing. The crew pushed as much water off the track as they could.
