Hey, its not live but close enough!

Practice and racing for the day has ended and rain has moved back in. Heather Byrd rode her way to victory in the Womans class in a very commanding fashion in moto 2.

Heavy rain last night caused alot of issues with the mini classes suffering the brunt as many could not even get around the track!!

Pro practice was fast, with Byrd and Lawson setting the pace with style!Spader looked very smooth as well!

The 1st moto was hotly contested but Byrd held on for that win


Posted by: Pappy

The track remained wet in many areas and severly one lined due to the rainfall last night


Posted by: Pappy

I hadnt arrived when the first moto was run, but the 2nd was all Byrd


Posted by: Pappy

Soon after the moto, Heather took time to listen to a fan and young racer as the humidity spiked (rain was coming and you could feel it)


Posted by: Pappy

#14 Taylor Seale had his hands full with the Cobra mounted rider, but managed to get the lead and win the moto

Racers getting used to a different track then they ran on yesterday


Posted by: Pappy

The track seems laid out well, but unless they can get a break from the rain tonight and work it, tomorrow will be a battle thats won at the start


Posted by: Pappy

i actually sported some sneakers to cut my feet a break this weekend, and boy was that a mistake! Getting close to good shooting areas only showed me the large piles of mud that was scraped off the track


Posted by: Pappy

Jeremy Lawson grabs a tear off as he sails a double during practice


Posted by: Pappy

If anyone can mount a challenge to Byrd and Lawson it will be Pat Brown. He looked pretty fast out there and in complete control.


Posted by: Pappy

Spader looked strong, and was showing he has the tools to get the job done


Posted by: Pappy

Justin Bres get stronger each round

Christopher Tait hammers a double on his yamaha

Lawson getting things worked out before tomorrows race


Posted by: Pappy

Matt Shapaka#22 was sling'n mud as he headed for the first turn


Posted by: Pappy

Track workers were doing all they could do get the mud dried up


Posted by: Pappy

Thats about all I have, I gotta go kick the kid and wake him up so he can buy me dinner Be sure to check back tomorrow as live coverage will begin at roughly noon with the first Pro moto.
