Cody Hill rode in the 300cc Youth production class at the first round, and was at the General to test out the new DRR Limited model. Walking the 5 mile course friday evening, it was soon apparent to us that this course was one of the best laid out tracks for youth riders we had ever seen. An excellent mix of field, wood, mud and other obstacles that were going to test all the young riders and their machines.

Matthew Harris awaits patiently aboard his race prepped Kasea. Matthew wasted no time in the first round, grabbing the holeshot and leading the first two laps before running into some issues that prevented him from battling for the overall. This round was a new race, and he looked ready for the work that lay ahead of him.

For some, it is just another chance to ride and they have no problem showing how much they enjoy the atmosphere at the races.

The 8 am starts are early for sure, but you wont find hardly a groggy person on the line, with the exception of yours truly! The national anthem played on as I snapped a shot over the shoulder of super talented Micheal Ferraro
