Now that we have the Nikon D50 (thanks Katherine!) and the nice zoom lens, I wanted to share some of the photos from this past weekends racing at my hometown motocross track. Enjoy!
The first photo is Ian Trettel from Graham, North Carolina, #119. Ian is one of the hottest prospects in the United States at age 15. Just returning to the racing scene from a knee injury and surgery Ian was laying down some serious fast laps this weekend!
This is my niece Jennifer enjoying a free moment from helping with the event safety staff. She is a member of the Northwest Pocket Volunteer Fire Department and helps at each race along with her father David and my sister Charla.
The next two photos are of a very good family friend Ricky Phillips and his stepson Jeremy Diven of Bear Creek. Jeremy was in only his second race in the 125 D Class and finished 15th taking a 10th in the second moto! Great job and good luck in future races!
The Father and Son photos of the day go to Jim Neese and his son Luke. Jim is a long time fixture in District 29 motocross as well as National AMA Motocross, Supercross and Arenacross events. Dad was as fast as ever taking first in the 25+ expert
class, 6th in the 250A and was well on his way to a high place in the 125A class before a bike problem in the 2nd moto. Luke scored a 3rd place finish in the 50cc class to take some hardware home just like Dad!
Here is a photo that I will probably pay for the next time I am in Sanford. This is my sister, Charla Nance, who is a volunteer at the track assisting the local EMS staff. Here she is conferring with Roger Bess, a local rider and also a staff member at the track. The track depends heavily upon volunteers and a small staff of paid personnel, but in a family sport and atmosphere such as the one that exists in the sport of motocross, good people are not hard to find!
Well, thats all for now, I will leave off with some cool photos from the weekend and will get ready for the next post coming up over the Holiday weekend! Till next time, Have a Happy Easter everyone!
