Been slackn’ in the roving reporter responsibilities… We have hit two ECEA hare scrambles, Rocket on 6/5 and RORR on 6/19. Rocket 6/5… At Rocket Raceway in the central Pa foothills. Rocket was another mud fest. Rained up to and on my start at 10am but held off for the balance of the am race. Skies looked better for the 1pm race but half way thru it dumped and continued to just be sloppy. Andy on the TC250 was second off the line (second lime green guy) and second into the woods. It turned into a real survival run and he ended up 5th in 250A and 21st overall. Me on my XC took a long awaited 1st in B Super Senior 50+ and 14th OA in the morning race. (gotta get me a husky) I was actually happier than what it looks... Reading Off Road Riders 6/19… In coal country near Tamaqua Pa. Hot and humid; single track was perfect, but open stuff was dusty… Andy on the TC250 - DNF. 2nd lap around; I think he was running 5th; he pulled in and said he was smelling oil burning. Good call, the countershaft o-ring/seal was leaking bad enough that the chain was slinging oil onto the pipe and burning. Done for the day… Me on the XC took another 1st in the B Super Senior and 36th OA.(gotta get me a husky) Link to race results… http://www.moto-tally.com/ECEA/ECEA/Results.aspx Craig Delong won the overall at both these races, he was hauling!! Next up for Andy, Tough-Like-RORR weekend event and then we are both hitting next hare scramble 7/17 Big ‘Thank You’ to the sponsors… Toy Tech Cycles, Factory Connection Suspension, RK Racing Chain and 230cafe
