Photo 9: hydromike
Description by hydromike: "This is just a shot that Geojem shot in the pits of me getting ready for the two-stroke modified race. I'm sitting in the 503 which is my first machine that I bought nearly 15 years ago. Not a heck of a lot to look at, but the building and rebuilding of this machine over the years a has pulled me through some tough times. The machine is really the cornerstone of my hobby, even if something as simple as a forgotten fuel filter causes my early exit from a race. We'll continue to fix, improve and refine this machine and I hope you will all do the same with yours when you encounter obstacles and failure. Hang in there; we do this for the enjoyment of it and even if we encounter setbacks or downright failure, we're a supportive group that are collectively in this for a common goal. It was only a fuel filter. Hang in there, and we'll see you all at the next race... "

I probably won't win the contest, and most likely won't win a race, but I couldn't feel more like a winner than I do having two pictures of me and my little ones nominated. Damn my kids are cute!

All great photos, but I laughed when I seen Argo Jims caption. Priceless!

I was feeling ambitious all weekend so put all 3 machines in places they should not have been, this was Thursday just after dusk while returning to camp Just veered to the right a couple times and stuck it where it didn't want to go (Imagine trying to put a SwampFox into a Ranger stepside only taller).
We turned left a lot on Friday night and she was a fun and late one in the Turd (Max II), Saturday we had the leader turn right until she got tired and I started turning left again in the Turd with no head lights and the 3rd flashlight turning into a slow strobe, well it turned into a much less dramatic picture but a much more dramatic ride as the flashlight strobed "on" halfway down a deeper and wider ditch at full speed where all you can do is tense.

That one was NOT intentional by me, though Hydromike playing chauffer in Race's machine did do it intentionally with a small ringin around him afterwards.

I had a black eye for nearly two weeks after bouncing my right temple-area off of the Wolf's roll cage. It was a heck of a vertical ride.
