Round #12....9 months into the season if you can believe that! At round one, Traci cecco was looking ahead to do her best to clinch another Womens class championship and standing in the chilly ohio morning air, she could look back on 11 rounds of racing and that championship she sought was securely hers!
Last season it was the parton Cecco show as the dou battled each other at every round. This season saw Parton barely able to keep her competition in sight, but all that will change in the off season as she will be preparing a new ride for 2008. I for one look forward to now having atleast 3 riders in the class that can go bar to bar for the entire season! It will be my pleasure to get reporting as parton gets back in the thick of things.
Mike Penland makes sure he can get a drink before gearing up for the race. With the dust that would be waiting these riders, a camelback would be a godsend if you could get a chance to rinse that Ohio powder out of your mouth!
The well known powerline track was ready for action as the riders assembled for the start. A portion of the course was removed to spare the morning class the big mudholes that would greet the afternoon race.
Joey Margaria leads the Sport class out of turn two. Margaria has been ripping it up all season on his race prepped blaster, taking the overall at Yadkinville!
