AMA Dist.17 Hare Scrambles Prophetstown

Got all ready to go to Morrison, IL to race but like the last time we tried to go mother nature did not work with so WFO had to change back to  Prophetstown like the last time. I had three opertuinite to make it to race that my dad has not been to for 20-30yrs. I got a mid back start and was going well till half way through the race I got tangled with the anther racer which ended up ripping my camelback half way off and wasting valuable time. I ended up finishing 5th on the day so not bad at all.  I would  like to thank all our sponsors and family that make this possible and remember to keep the shinny side up.

We went down to Mid west motocross to race a Hare Scramble down there. my dad pulled out his Gas Gas after 3 years of running vintage the last race he raced it was Goshen Enduro back in 2012. the where calling for a chance of rain around like 1 but with the races staring late and the storm rolling in fast it did not look like we where going to miss it my dad went out for his race got around 2 laps in and it just down poured on us they ended up calling his race early. he got off the track and told me its muddy but hole lot of fun. finely they let us start our race and it was as servile course I made I bad mistake on the 1st lap that coast me a lot of time and energy on a hard race. there was a cool water crossing that had ruining water and kept getting deeper each lap around it reminded me of the stories my dad told me about back in the day the of endures he ran. all in all really fun day playing in the mud. I ended up finishing 4th so it was a good mud run. I would  like to thank all our sponsors and family that make this possible and remember to keep the shinny side up.
