Local racers at the Mini Olympics

Mini Olympics Final Standings:

Chase Sexton took double 1st! Both SX and MX in the 51 7-8 Stock class. SX: 65 7-9 Mod: 14th, 65 7-9 Stock: 12th. MX: 65 7-9 Stock: 29th, and 65 7-9 Mod: 24th. Not sure if it was Chase that went down in the mx mod. or he just got caught up in it. He was running 10th and dropped to 32nd on that second lap when I hear them say a rider was down. Congratulations Chase.

Hope I didn't miss anyone! Tried to keep up with the riders we all love to watch.

Congrats to all racers; even those who didn't make it to the finals. As always the competition was fierce and breakdowns happen at the worst times. It was pretty cool listening to the races online. Thanks to Dunlop for the live feed.

Nice write up in Decatur Herald & Review

Dirt Riders Hare Scramble received a nice write up in the Herald & Review. HERE Sounds like it was a good day of racing and for a worthy cause. Note to MX parents: Keep your children away from me. I think I've turned Aaron Miller into a tree dodger!

Bike Team Hare

Thanks to teams Wargo/Lankutis and Becktell/Shaffer for an exciting 3 hours of racing. 15 laps and at least 11 lead changes. Mike made the final pass on the mx track to give Wargo/Lankutis the win by 1 second. Now that's racing!

Great showing by the MX racers on Sunday. Curtis Batson took the Heavy C class Ironman style. Micah Thacker, Aaron Miller, Dave Ulrich, Domnick Sparks, and Andy Brown also competed well. Did I forget anyone? You guys need to come to the woods side more often.

Year end award winners: Please let me know which picture you would like on your LTM plaque as soon as possible. Or submit you own picture to the track. Banquet is set for the first weekend in January I was told. Watch LTM's website for the final word on that.
