First race in a while where we had no injuries. It was FUN!! It was about a 6-7 mile course and did I already say IT WAS FUN!!?
Pecan and I battled for the holeshot. I think I got it only to be immediately passed to 2nd followed by me passing him after overshooting the 2nd turn. For the next 3 laps I have no idea what happened behind me. After the 3 lap Pecan came around me like a bat out of Hell! I was out of energy. My camelback broke just after the start so I was unable to hydrate. Joe Kirkland passed me as I was in 1st gear, idle speed, ready to barf. Tommy Shinholster was at the scoring tent when I went through on the 4th lap. He handed me his water, which to my surprise, had Gatoraide in it! I am not kidding when I tell you after another 2-3 miles, I was alive again. I hammered down and finally caught Joe. I was catching up to Pecan and it was over.
I am kind of glad I didn't make this race my first win. The trophies have a motorcycle on them. How lame is that?! Big FU to the quadders from the Apollo boys I guess.
So after 5 laps it was Pecan, Morris, Kirkland, Taylor in the Vet class. I have no idea whoelse placed what where. I had a blast! Some of the trail was wide and sandy and FAST!

It was a great track and a great day, I wish that rain would have come sooner.  I wiped out an A-arm in practice but thanks to a loaner from Brian Vis I was able to race. Man, there was a lot of stumps. I finished 3rd in C-open 1 min. behind 1st and 2 sec. behind 2nd.  I wish I could of had 1 more lap to finish my drive for 2nd.
 I agree on the plaque, that was lame to not have a quad on it.

Just finished taking a toothbrush to the YFZ and found I have bent my Left lower a-arm. Or rather there is a BIG dent in the leading tube.  :(
