24 riders enjoyed near perfect conditions at Lake Bridgeport on a beautiful Saturday in mid-August. It had rained a bit earlier in the week – just enough to keep the dust down and create near perfect traction. A cool front had also come through and the early morning temps were in the mid-60’s!!! I doubt the mercury hit 90 at the hottest part of the day.
Trials Master Mark Hansen set 5 fun sections; the scores were a tad low, but everyone had fun and they would have been much tougher had the weather been anything like August normal, i.e. 10 – 15 degrees hotter.
There were several perfect rides on Saturday. Tomas Pantin had a perfect scores on the Novice line and a 3-way tie in Amateur saw Ray French, Tom Batchelor and Jeff George also all on zero points. Ray French and Tom Batchelor participated in a ride off and Ray nudged Tom for the win after 6 rides on the Intermediate line in sections 4 & 5. Expert was also tightly contested with only 3 points separating 1st – 3rd. Daniel Hunt took his first Expert class win; wasn’t he just last year’s Novice Cup winner??
Thanks to Mark Hansen, Stephen Hetzel, Mitch Ely, and Don Scott and anyone else that helped put on Round #3!
