Usually we can figure on 3 things in life, death, taxes and dust at Yadkinville! Well not this year. The weather man called for the wet stuff and indeed we did see it , and I have to admit that it was nice not having that red dust coat everything when the slightest breeze would blow!

The dark skies saturday morning had everyone wondering when the rain would fall again. Jennifer Albright was busily getting ready as the dark skies set an ominous tone as the event got underway

The Youth racers would deal with some slick conditions but nothing they couldnt handle. Jay Shadron would come out on top once again as he claimed the overall. Doug Howarth would finish second followed by Jon Rainey JR who found his spot on the podium in 3rd.

Charlie Welch was pretty stoked to find out friday evening that he had indeed wrapped up the 70 cc class championship. This allowed the young racer to move up to 90 Mod for todays event. Charlie was pumped and wanted to see if he could get on that podium!

He had a good race, winning the 90 Mod 8-11 class on his 70cc DRR, but fell short of his goal by finishing 6th overall.Welch lost his chain tensioner on lap 3 and had to stop several times to get it back on! Welch calls home to his dad who was unable to make the event. Good racin Charlie and congrats on the championship!

Most of Pro row was coming to life as I headed towards the starting line. William Yokely has his morning coffee as he milled about his pit.

Jarrod McClure biked some of the course as the day got underway. McClure would see nother frantic rush from this event to the airport as he would be racing in California on sunday in the WORCS series.
