A rough start to the weekend with a late night trip to my Uncle's house. A Special Thanks to Uncle Vern Scholl and Jay Hall for a late night collaboration & fixing Chris' broken starter. Uncle came to the rescue with a brand new starter that he just happens to have. Now Chris was ready to race the Sand Goblin Enduro in Roselawn Indiana. The race started with a 6 mile transfer to get to the start of test 1. Chris knowing he only had a 10 minute pause to start test 2, he had to run fast and smooth to make it. He ended hung up on a log, thanks to a slower rider that cost him some time. Chris made it to the start of test 2 a minute late and he knew that he had to charge through test 2 to make up lost time. He put a good ride in only to find out that they were not scoring that section and throwing it out. Onto test 3 after gas, Chris put in a consistent mistake free ride. Now onto test 4 which was the shortest and a 5 minute pause to start test 5 which was the longest at 11 miles. Chris rode as fast as he could to make it to test 5 on time and did with 3 minutes to spare. Then started the long 11 mile test, half way through Chris ended up hitting a tree head on. He got himself together and just maintained to finish the test. Ending the day with taking 3rd in 250B class. Shout out to the best Pit Crew for traveling and making to the tests. On to the next race! Thank You to our Sponsors, Hall's Cycles Sub-Trailer Hitch EVS Pro Grip Slick Products DeCal Works Twin Air and the Lord for keeping us safe!

AMA Dist. 17 Hare Scrambles Chandlerville, IL
To all that didn't come out to Midwest Motocross Club Inc. on Easter you missed one heck of a HS. 2 thumbs up to Flintlock E. Wilbury and crew, they did a great job. The weather was perfect and we had a fun Easter with our off-roading family. The conditions were very dry and dusty. The course which consisted of 2 water crossings, a constant growing mud hole, and various off camber hills. After 13 months in storage, Mark finally decided to pull out his '18 GasGas and raced it in his 1st +60 class. He kind of forgot how nice it was to ride a modern bike in a technical course. The course was a blast and he had fun. Not bad finishing 9th out of 12th after 13 months off from riding this bike. Chris' race started in a total dust storm. He couldn't see the 1st 2 turns and he was feeling his way through the dust. It took Chris a quarter of the race to get his groove. The last 3 laps he started picking off people to charge back to 12th out of 22 riders. Not bad from starting almost dead last. Again a Special thanks to Jay Hall at Hall's Cycles for helping Chris get his bike ready for the race. On to the next race! Thank You, Carissa D. Photography, Squatch Photography and Amy for the pics.

AMA Dist.17 Hare Scrambles Keithsburg, IL
Our weekend started with District 17 Awards Banquet Saturday night. We raced home to get ready for an early start to Keithsburg. Sunday, we had a pleasant drive to Keithsburg. We arrived to beautiful weather and perfect track conditions. Huge improvement that 3 weeks make, Racers enjoyed the track and so did the pit crews. Chris got a bad start, he was mid pack off the start and got pinched off going last into the woods. Chris ended up putting in smooth consistent laps. In the 2nd to last lap, Chris washed the front end out in a turn and costed all the hard work he put in. He put in a last lap charge to finish 22nd for the day.

AMA Dist.17 GP Chandlervile, IL
Well the 1st GP is in the books. All week they were calling for rain. When we got there the track conditions were perfect and the creeks were makeable. Special Thanks to Jay Hall from Hall's Cycles for getting Chris' WRX 250 dialed in and ready for the race. Midwest Motocross Club Inc. did a great track layout. Great mix of woods, fields, creek crossings and the notorious sand MX track. Premodern race went well. Chris' finished 2nd and Mark finished 3rd. Chris' B Class didn't go well in the 1st moto. He rear brake fade. After a little work in between moto's, his 2nd moto went better. He had better control of the bike and was able to charge. Finishing 10th place for the day.

AMA Dist. 17 Harescrambles Keithsburg, IL
The 2021 Racing Season started this weekend at Keithsburg. The day started with an interesting travel to the race. We started off with dense fog, not being able to see anything and getting to the parking lot that was a task in its self. We had an adventure just to find a spot to park. Driving through the deep ruts, water and a field of ice just to park. Chris' race started with a 1st turn crash, when someone fell in front of him and he had no where else to go but on top of him. The rest of the race consisted of throttle control, picking the right lines and a little luck. Chris made a few mistakes that costed him but finished the race strong. On to the next race!
