Featured Volume 29 Number 6, June 2012 of the Dusty Times for its first place in VORRA’s April Prairie City Short Course Season Opener. A special thank you to Troy Robinson and the Dusty Times for another great article on VORRA’s race, as well as a wonderful portrayal of the Class 11’s and their antics! Remember, this is the race that produced the awe-inspiring sideways photo of the Green Booger, by Dianne Bennett. We only ran “Sundays” races (round 2), so I will include only that write-up. Don’t forget to subsribe to the Dusty Times for YOUR monthy race reading material!

“…After the lunch break and track maintenance it was time for round 2…In class 11 the return of the Green Booger, Gary Herrod (1112) gave chase to Meek but settled for 2nd at the finish. Nauleau/Crook happily took home 3rd in the moto after Graham suffered electrical issues and dropped out.
Group 1 moto 2 for round 2 had just the class 11’s running now with 5 of them on the line. Great race as Ornelas had the lead early then was overtaken by Meek. Graham and Herrod were fighting for 3rd. 3 laps into the moto and Meek broke a front spindle taking him out for the day. This left Ornellas holding off Herrod but Herrod was able to get around and went on for the moto win. The kids Nauleau/Crook finished in 3rd.
“In the final Class 11 moto Herrod led flag to flag over Ornellas and Nauleau/Crook. This would be the final overall results as well as the kids went from not making a lap twice on Saturday to placing on the podium and taking wood home to boot…”
