LTM

LTM was hot on Saturday. Not a huge crowd with the heat and Red Bud coming up, but great racing as always. PBP racers Chuck Nice and Carter Gordon came away with wins.

Sunday's weather was much better. Hare scramble is the toughest sport to photograph in my opinion. The kids early in the morning is very difficult. Low light in the woods with fast moving bikes. I did my best, but not a whole lot of keepers early in the day. The 50's and 65 Beginners had a great course laid out for them.

Big bikes and quads got interesting. LTM decided to lay out an enduro cross log jump. Bikes were about 50/50 on taking it instead of the go around. Quads begged off except for a handful. The approaches were not "quad friendly". I give LTM props for doing this and providing an alternative line for those not experienced or daring enough to try it. The exit jump into the corner wasn't the best positioning though. If they'll find a little better area to place it and provide an alternate route I say go for it. And keep it in the grass track area for quick access by medics if needed (though we hope not!) Racers seemed to enjoy the challenge.

A quick check on lap times found Casey Noblitt running 13 minute laps until the bike blew. Tough luck Casey. You were looking awesome out there. Lee Lankutis was running consistent 10-11 minute laps. FLYING!!

PBP sends out a big "Get well soon" to our Hare racers. At the moment we have 3 on the injured list. And to MX'er Dillon Hall also. Heal fast guys and gal. We miss you on the track!
