SORCS Series Round 2

We survived Round 2!
The ATV race at Hiawassee was a mudfest! Just check out the pictures (are they a mess or what?). It started raining on Saturday night and didn't stop until we arrived at the track. It quit raining for the bike races and started raining again about thirty minutes before the start of the Quad races. Scott and Cam went into survival mode. Knowing that just finishing the race would at least allow them to maintain their points standing. Cam actually gained a spot. Scott maintains the points lead in his class. Scott placed 5th and Cam fell back to eleventh after a good start. The bottlenecks on the track wiped out any chance of a good finish for Cam. Both Scott and Cam raced hard but the thick mud and bottlenecks proved to be a huge challenge.

For the second time in two races, the events started late. It was almost 3:00 PM before the Quads left the starting line! It was 6:15 PM before we were able to leave the track. With a six hour drive ahead of us, in the rain with everyone wet, muddy, tired and hungry, we were not a happy bunch. But that is all behind us now and we are looking forward to Round 3 in Alabama next weekend. We are hoping to make up some points and have good results. I am praying that everything goes OK.

In the Bike class, Phil Bearden placed 1st in his class after pulling the holeshot! Cole Bearden made the trip up to Hiawassee for his first race in a while. After a bad start, he charged to finish 4th in his class. Overall, we had a good weekend, no one got hurt, we had a safe trip up and back and we didn't lose any positions. After a muddy, wet, and long ride back home, and a week of de-mudding everything we are ready for Alabama!

Later.......
