March 20th. Event Results and Photos!

[sammy]

Season opener fell on the first day of spring. Only the bravest trials riders attended the Midwest Series Event. Temperatures hovering in the mid 30's with at times snowflakes falling.
Echo sponsored Duncan Kopp-Richardson domanated the expert class, Local rider Isaac Neff who trailed second has showed much improvment since Motorama. 3rd place went to Chicago rider Paul Hempstead followed in fourth by another Chicago rider Alex Belmont.
Sport class was won by local rider Chris Taylor on a Spooky. Maxxis sponsored Ben Jones came in a close second. Both Ben and the third place winner Jim Rolfes traveled 5 hours from Cinci, Ohio. Campfire kept everyone warm including the spectators, the series opener was a lot of fun!

Hey Sam,
Did you build up the BT? By the pictures it looks that way. How do you like the ride?

[philth]

Where abouts in Indianna?

[sammy]

Roman, I really like the BT. Its funny to me it seems smaller than my Pure but is a good inch longer.

Ben Jones and I both hope you where proud of are results since you are sponsoring us. We understand that you could not make it to the event because you had meetings with sponsors out east for the BT Raven Trials Team. And, also we are excited about the class A motorhome you have purchased. With a full blown machine shop/repair area in the back to haul us to the up coming events in!:naughty:

Philth, the event was held in New Paris, In.

Ben Jones has the motor home, right? As I surely don't :)

Question: was he in the Comp, Sport Level?
Glad to see that. Because now I know that even tho I started Trials late in life, there is alot of time left to Trials. :)

Thanks so much to Sam and Isaac. The comp was awesome. Even though all of the sections kicked my ass, I am glad that I rode expert. I had to move up to expert sometime. I can't wait for the warsaw comp in may. Thanks again for the spectacularly fun ride.
