The speeds started to increase as the riders learned the track and started cranking it up!

My old friend Lou (Quad041) has been a member here since forever. He is a blast to watch ride and even though he says he is getting to old to run hard, he can still throw it out there when he feels like it! Lou was just up for practice and some seat time after a long winter.

There wasn't any big air at this track, but there was some airtime to be had if you could handle it

Christopher Holden hammers a turn as he sends a shower of roost my way. Yep...sand in my eyes but not from this. That wind that picked up really carried it around!

Saturday practice would come to an end, but not the fun!

Now how can I get me a cool dog and a ride to sport around the track on Some folks have it made

Saturday morning would greet everyone with plenty of blue sky and sunshine as the days racing was about to get underway. BCS is a huge force in this series and their riders aim to do well for their sponsors!

I think this guy stole that shirt....well that is what I heard

Staging lanes were assembled as each class would get two laps to check out the track

[Pappy]

Three prior champions would be competing at this round, and this would also mark the first time any Champion had returned to defend his title.

Three Champs

Well, those three champions would have a full gate of racers that really dont want to see any of them repeat and when the gate dropped, it would be Michael Pilotte #8 grabbing the holeshot on his Honda!

18 riders were entered in the Pro class and everyone of them wanted to be the first to grab a win. That win wouldnt come easy as the track erupted with roost and the sound of machines clawing their way out of turn 1
