To challenge the prediction of rain, we had a sunny, hot day to race on June 22nd. There were 121 registered competitors in 19 classes.

Thank goodness there were no on track incidents and only a couple of broken bikes at the end of the day. J. C. Martin’s crew was able to repair their bike to place first in the Top Fuel A. Mike Cowling’s Top Fuel B bike flattened the spark plugs in the final round for a second place finish.

Our Rannings Racing new Harley in the Hog Gas class broke on the final pass. Jacob managed a first place finish against his big brother because of a rare red light on Jesse’s part. It was hard to celebrate with the cost of a replacement engine on the mind. Anybody want to help sponsor an experienced, winning team???!!!! We thought about copying that bride to be and offering sponsorship to the highest bidder. Dr. Pepper is one of the boy’s favorite drinks!!

There was some great competition in the Pro Gas and Extreme 4 wheel classes. Many times the finish was difficult to tell with out the help of the lighting system. The entire day was filled with close matches and hard fought wins. I didn’t get as many pictures as usual due to a dying battery!! I did get a nice collection and hope you enjoy the variety!!

There were several girl riders present with a couple of them placing in their class. The next race is July 20 with July 27th as the rain date.

Some friends of ours in Suffolk had two bikes stolen on June 16th from their secured garage. They compete in the Hare Scramble circuit. Keep your eyes and ears open for 2 KTM’s, a 50 and a 250. They have 3 boys that race and it is the bikes that the younger two boys ride that are missing. Now that it’s summer time, make sure you have every security measure possible in place. This family had 2 bikes stolen back in 2005 that they never found!!
