2007 WORCS-Rnd.3 -Havasu- Amatuer Coverage

[QuadJunkies]

This past week end kicked off round 3 in Lake Havasu Arizona at Crazyhorse Campgrounds.
Lake Havasu City, Arizona is located on the beautiful Colorado River. Lake Havasu is known as a popular year round tourist destination .The city is a destination of choice for university students during Spring Break,which just happened to start the same week end as the WORCS race was and continues for the city for a full 8 weeks!

Its hard to imagine a lake was hidden in between all the rugged desert I passed along the way.
Most of the wk end we had light winds which helped us all survive the heat as several of us have not adjusted to the warmer weather yet.

I pullled in abit late on Friday so I made a mad dash for the track to get in a few shots of the last few riders at Fridays practice.
I like to take pics of the practice so I can get a feel for the riders when they are a bit more relaxed for some fun shots.

Racing is about to kick off with near perfect racing temps for the unclassifieds,but soar up into the low 90's.
By mid afternoon ,even some the seasoned riders were taken by surprise from heat exhaustion and dehydration.

[QuadJunkies]

track conditions consisted of a few small elevation changes,switchbacks,beach racing and Motocross sections as well as alot of River rock threwout the course.

Its not too often that you get a taste of motorcross,offroad racing and racing a beach front all in one course!

spectators were not only at the track, but also in the air!
