Well to say the least the race has come and gone... I can not say thanks enough to Kenny Hansen for letting us use his farm for this race... I know there was alot of carnage done to the road fields and trails... But there are some new trails now... If it hadn't have rained Sat. night the track would have been perfect.. Want to thank all the two Rivers Club members that came out to help.. I am terrible with names but you know who most of you were, Becky, Leeza and Tina for helping watch the gate. Diesel, Big Al, Brutus, Dave Fraker, Denny, and a bunch more I can't remember there names.... BUT THANK YOU... Ubie and Shesuki were missing in action. results as I remember... Turbo 1st in the +30 ta2d 1st in the B class, Fastcat 2nd in +50, Z-Racer 5th in Old C, As soon as the results come up will update... Time to get ready for round #2

Fastcat, you would have won if you had some sparkles on the quad, hahahahahaha!!!!!!!!!!
I too want to thank Kenny and all of you that helped with this race. Kenny is a class act and its great to see the landowners have so much fun and take part in this series the way that he does. Going through the barns was really cool and a good place to clean off the tires, haha.
I got my season off to a good start with a win in the B class winning with a 5+ minute lead and doing one more lap than the rest of the class. It poured down rain all night and during part of the race making it a complete mud bath.
I got a bad start and rounded the first corner in almost last place of about 30 riders but am pretty used to this after last year. I took a header trying to pass for the lead on the second lap going into a creek crossing. It was rutted bad and there was a big dip going down to the creek and my bumper hit it full on and came to a complete stop sending me over the bars and the quad on top of me. I finally got wiggled out of it couldn't get the quad rolled back over. One guy came over and helped me get it rolled back to rubber side down, I let him know I was greatly appreciative and was on my way. I am not looking forward to cleaning my quad. I had mud in crevices in my body I didn't know mud could get into, so I can just imagine how my poor quad is.

Now I get the new Sparkles nickname. I think that might stick...
I had a good ride. I usually do well at the mud races but had a good bit of luck thrown in. I picked some good lines that worked out well. I guess it does'nt hurt to know the property pretty well too...;-)
The UTV race Saturday night was awesome with some really close competition.
Kenny was definitly a busy man all weekend. He was a great host!! Probably more involved than any other land owner that I am aware of.
I would say at least 40 truck / trailer combo's, including myself, got to witness some John Deere horsepower up close and personal. Thanks for all the towing too KH!!!

Bwahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 1 hour, d**n I wish it only took that long. I washed it with the plastics, then took them off and went to town. It takes a few hours of cleaning and lubing after a race like this.
