July 2016 Family Fun

2016 District 16 Harescramble - Wedron, IL

Wedron didn't go as planned at all! The temps and humidity were extremely high so with that the races got shortened 15 min. A storm came the night before and dumped a lot of rain in a short time- this made the place slippery. When the flag dropped I got to the first turn first but was passed on the next one so I was sitting in second behind Cody Barnes. I relaxed and settled in to take it easy the first lap and to see what we were in for. Once around the course I knew where I could push and where I had to take it easy. I battled with Matt McDonald for a couple laps for the second spot and once I got around him the last time I was able to start pulling away from him and the rest of the field. I knew I was probably going to take second so I was trying to keep that spot and put more time on third and narrow my gap from first. Then around 45 min left I got cross rutted or something and ended up colliding with a tree. Once I stood up I knew I was definitely done for the day. Luckily, Matt Sather stopped to see if I was alright and I said yes but I am hurt and need help back up to the top. Matt and Ben Grosse helped me. Many others also stopped to see if I was okay. They rerouted the course so that they could get me on the four-wheeler and to the ambulance. I was taken to the local hospital and had tests ran to make sure I didn't have any major internal injuries. My test came back good and was just told that I was going to be really sore. I got extremely lucky that I escaped the crash with just torn muscles and bruises. I would like to thank all our friends and my family for helping me and my family pack up as I was headed to the hospital. Also, thanks to all my gear sponsors for the products that kept me safe in the crash.

Remember to keep it between the Trees!    NOT INTO THEM!!

2016 NEPG Round 6

Round #6 of the NEPG series was in Cross Fork, PA. Unfortunately I had a local race scheduled on the same day so I missed the National Enduro this round.
