Wildchild Charlie Welchs's machine gets a dose of duct tape in an effort to deflect some mud that would surely be encountered during the early morning youth race. Charlie smoked the field at round 1 and claimed his class win and wanted to pull a repeat here at the General.

When Sadie Welch saw that I had done a photoshoot with her brother at the opening round, she was bound and determined to have her own when her and her mom regrouped the family at round two.


I've been watching Sadie race since she was still wearing pink snow boots and it makes me feel pretty old seeing her grow up so fast! She is a precious little lady who has a smile that can melt a glacier and I was honored to be able to take a few pictures of her.

Ladies and Gents....Sadie Welch
