Nice photos!! He takes great race shots! I think the last one is my favorite. I'm looking forward to cheering on Kendall at the LL Regional in June. :cool:
yes, he's a professional photographer. he's right here in oklahoma. perhaps we should invite him to dirtweek?
nikki, will you be racing the regional too? kendall is also entered in the cycleranch regional at san antonio, in case she doesn't qualify at salem. it's weird, we live in oklahoma but the salem, illinois regional is 70 miles closer to us than the one in texas.
Jay - yep I'll be racing the Salem Regional. I think there are already 30 women registered so it'll be fun racing with a full gate. I'll be happy with a mid-pack finish though, but it's still a great experience. Then the following weekend, Red and I are racing the big bike Regional in Minnesota (he's in +25 & +30 and I'm in +25).
If the Salem track hasn't changed much from the last time we've been there, the keys are holding on the gas in some long sweepers and straights, jumping some medium sized doubles and tables, and pinning it in the loooong downhill start. It's a fun track, kinda similar to Cooperland but a little longer and with smaller jumps and a few more wide open sections.
