CMRC ANQ Motopark

This past Sunday I made the trip up to Motopark for the CMRC ANQ.
The place was packed full of riders; pretty sure the horses thought they would have to move out.

The track was in great shape and thanks to the new topsoil they put in a few sections, the track held up very well.

The Pro races were fun to watch. Kyle Keast won them but got a good challenge from Liam O'farrell, who had his TM ride running much better than at Gopher Dunes.

I met rider, Dan Miller, who had just came back after eight years off and looked like he was having a fun day. After I left, he had crashed, cracked his skull and temporarily lost vision in one eye. I hope he gets better and heals up.

I have to rant a little about "flaggers". I know 95 percent of them do a great job but some shouldn't do it. I have seen at different tracks flaggers using the flag as a blanket or sitting with their backs to the track and too into each other instead watching the riders. It frustrates the hell out of me. I spend most of the day out on the track and have given a couple of them my 2 cents worth. I wear a yellow or orange shirt when I am out shooting just in case a rider goes down. I can alert other riders to the problem. There are four things you need to be a flagger: 1) a chair 2) an umbrella 3) a cooler with drinks, and 4) common sense. Not sure if there's a minimum age for doing that job.

Wish I was going to Sand Del Lee this weekend. The track is cool and fun to shoot at.

I’ll be at Gopher Dunes with my family for the SCR race on the big track.
