Oakland Round Koontz Series 9-17-06

[Pappy]

After stalling his 300ex, Cody Hill was back on track and heading after the class. All I had told him was to have fun, learn what he could and get out of the way when needed

[Pappy]

With all the classes on the track, I hitched a ride to the only other open area I knew of. It featured a multi line hill that should have provided some action for me.

[Pappy]

The leaders had passed, with Brent Sturdivant closing in on the leader as lap one neared to an end

[Pappy]

With several lines varying in difficulty to pick, riders charged the hill and had no problem tackling this section

[Pappy]

To the far left was the marked course taking you around the hill, that left 3 more options if one wanted to assault the hill, each providing a little excitement as it was crested

[Pappy]

Riders looking for a pass could find it here if they could win the race to the top

[Pappy]

After the last riders had passed my position, I made my way back towards the starting area to see how we were making out. Brent Sturdivant had the lead and was on auto pilot, the other classes had settled into a nice frantic frenzy and my son was bringing up the rear In his few shouted words as he passed all i could clearly make out was"Rough and Wrecked"

[Pappy]

With my son on the track, and a super tight track to deal with, I stayed close to an area where i could keep tabs on the action. The sun, the tracks position to the sun and it being held on the north side of a mountain all had me foaming at mouth because i knew the pictures would be tough to get. I decided to get up close and personal

[Pappy]

Brent suffered engine problems at the last GNCC round and was racing another Honda here. It must have been equipped with GO-GO Gadget power because he was rollin!

[Pappy]

Only 20 seconds or so seperated the leader from the man trying to hunt him down
