~ HIGH POINT NATIONAL 09 REFRESHER SLIDE SHOW ~

~ MEMORIAL DAY WEEKEND - ROARING KNOB ~

~ PAMX THOR SPRING SERIES ~

~ YES IT'S COMING THIS WEEKEND - HIGH POINT NATIONAL 2010 ~ Here's a quick view of last years weekend at the "POINT", the closest thing to Heaven !

2009 HP National Slide Show

Lots of great racing and best of all GREAT FRIENDS! See you there!

THOR SPRING SERIES RND 7 - ROARING KNOB SUNDAY
Memorial Day weekend, and racing. Traveling up Old National Pike can take one way back to some of the first hearty souls that layed down their lives for the future of a young country. Yes the beauty of the spectacular golf course of Nemocolin is grand but I can imagine what Washington must have thought as he looked down into the vast valley toward Uniontown. He of course had other things like the British on his mind at Fort Necessity and the not so successful battle there. Every trip to The Knob I have to go thru this history trip. How it must have been. Present time comes back quickly as we pull into the pit areas and the sound of the bikes down on the track. The turn out looked light, Holiday weekends always take a toll on numbers. But talent was in every class and it was going to be an interesting day. Bikes were coming off the track with a good amount of mud on them. Thats a good sign at "The Knob". The way this track is layed out the surface can dry out extremely fast. That makes keeping it moist for the motos quite a challenge for the track crew.
The two day event turned into just the Sunday race for us. I was unable to get to far down on the track, not that good on the camera. So the bigger classes I had trouble getting shots of everyone. My camera was not very happy! BUT I still got alot to put up. Have a great week and stay safe while out practcing!

~ PVR MAY 9, 2010 ~

~ COLD AGAIN AND WINDY ~

~ DARRYN DURHAM #36 & GREAT RACING ~

Did I mention that it was cold again. Will a nice weekend ever come for MX racing? We can only hope. The wind was still blowing and 39 degrees is just not a happy temperature. The brave souls that had practice and stayed over the night even spoke of haill the size that would have needed a heaty broom to move around. YUK! We need a warm weekend....
So good to see our very own Darryn Durham #36 back on the PVR track and looking totally amazing. Darryn is looking forward to this season's outdoor Nationals. Also Brandon Minnich was back racing after his fall at High Point so good to see him doing well. The Mason Dixon riders where in the house mixing it up with our PAMX. Some great match ups there as well.
More information later......... Heres a few pictures to get your week started.

~ STEEL CITY THOR SPRING SERIES RND 5 MAY 2, 2010 ~

~ WHAT A DIFFERENCE A DAY MAKES ~

~ RAIN, MUD, RAIN AND MORE MUD ~

~ SATURDAY SC PRACTICE DRY TO SUNDAY'S RAIN AND MUD ~

Wow, days completely different. Saturday very warm and the track was pretty dry. Watering was done on occassion but just enough to keep it down. Track crew was preparing for the rain that started on the first practice early Sunday morning. Everyone was pretty sure what was going to happen. The news of much rain was well know around the pits. So right thru practice and then the decesion of the one longer moto was pronounced. The rain took off and the Quads started the day. The riders of all classes took on the challenge of getting around the long Steel City track. So many going down everywhere. The little bikes really had trouble. But the riders left the gates clean and came back looking like they had been to battle with the mud and lost. Only the top riders had some color left on their gear. As for taking pictures, I took as many as I could. I'm not real happy with most of them, but will be able to get some up of all of your great efforts today. Everyone of you get an AAA+++ for your efforts today.

STEEL CITY GALLERIES - Keep in mind this was not the best of days for picture taking. Kristin has tried to identified the riders but with the mud they may be incorrect. So just let us know and we will fix them. As always you guys are Marvelous.

This little slide show is about some of the best "SAVES" of the day that I was able to catch. WOW you guys are amazing. Speed plus Mud equals lots of saves, and then again not as many saves as going down. The first one is from the Collegeboy class. Matt Palyas #92 is getting it done up in front. Hitting the turn and then not sure but he was coming right at me. Matt came off the bike and was walking it getting it back under control. He did not go down but got right back on and off he went. (thank you Matt for not covering me in mud) Totally the best save of the day, well at that time, Matt wasn't thru yet. In the 250B moto Matt was again having a good run in the mud. Coming around the mechanics area he got into some muck and was slipping again but got control. Again another great save. Great work Matt. In the Vet B +30 #4 Cartia was incredible. He didn't even slow down just shoved hisself right thru each lap. Great efforts #4. All of you riders that took on the mud at Steel City, hats off to you!
