I see the girls of Indiana know what to do when Foley approaches...run up a tree out of his reach

[Pappy]

While Harlen was rubbing elbows with everyone, I headed off to the creek bottom again.

Yeah...I was ready if he fell in

[Pappy]

I could hear the roar of the XC1 class echo into the creek bed and knew it was on!

Bill Ballance would once again put his Yamaha out front as he grabbed another holeshot.

[Pappy]

The riders approached the creek for teh first time and took a gaurded approach. Bill looks to his left and that was indeed the shallowest line through it

[Pappy]

Borich was wanting to go and took his Suzuki head on into the creek

[Pappy]

Bill kept the lead as Borich did not make a charge and they raced out of sight in the order they had arrived

[Pappy]

Bills lead did not last long as Borich would make a move, but as you can see, there wasn't any room to relax as the front runners were nose to tail

[Pappy]

Fowler getting his feet wet (literally) in his first Pro class race

[Pappy]

Bithell wasnt up front, but he wasnt far off and was in a great position as the first lap was run

[Pappy]

The hillclimbs at the ironman can test you, hit them with speed and pick a good line and you'll make it. Walker Fowler gets airborne off some roots at the top of one line.
