OMA Nationals, Boyer PA RD#7

Find an area without dust was proving difficult

[Pappy]

The running order upfront was remaining unchanged, and I walked around trying to keep tabs on the race. Rice was charging hard and the KTM sure looked to be working well.

Pickens was working his way to the front as he picked off lappers

[Pappy]

During the parade lap, riders got a look at the one creek crossing. With water levels low, it would take 4 or 5 laps of racing to get it messy. By the time i got down there , a few riders were already having issues

[Pappy]

There were 3 or 4 lines available, all posing challenges but nothing un-doable.

[Pappy]

In years past, this area has been almost impassable. Today wouldnt provide such action for me to capture, but I figured it was not dusty and I might be able to capture some images that these riders hadn't been privy to.

John Gallagher Sr. works his Polaris through the mud. The water sure had to offer some relief from the high heat and humidity

[Pappy]

The big Ute's made short work of the creek

[Pappy]

A few riders had hit this crossing and really broke up the center. When Johnny G gave it a go, he sent some big rocks flying!

Jodi Stracham was the lone entry in the Womans class, and she looked to be having alot of fun!
