STORM at Powell Ranch Nov 4 and 5, 2006

[Hemibee]

We were at the STORM race held at Powell Ranch just south of Bastrop on the weekend of November 4 & 5, 2006. Alex (Mopower) finished 4th in Schoolboy and Kyle finished 2nd in 50cc Beginners class.

I've got a few pictures and a couple or more videos I will post as time allows but thought I would get started with this video.

Mopower D-13 passing C-13 at the beginning of lap 2 (http://s92.photobucket.com/albums/l8/lscp/Powell%20Ranch/?action=view&current=PowellRanchD13movinguponC13_0001.flv)
I don't know what happened to the sound at the first of the clip but at least it started just before they came past where I was standing. Alex is on a KTM 125 SX and C-13 was on a KTM 250 SX.



Mopower entering the creek following the grass track, 4th lap. (http://s92.photobucket.com/albums/l8/lscp/Powell%20Ranch/?action=view&current=MOV01842.flv)

Kyle making the pass for 2nd place following a little mechanical trouble.
He is a little ticked off at the photographer, I forgot to check his chain after practice and it cost him a possible 1st place finish. (http://s92.photobucket.com/albums/l8/lscp/Powell%20Ranch/?action=view&current=MOV01774.flv)

Nice video!

That was a great race. I learned that the 2 hour guys are STUDS!
I jumped up for this one race and realized that I prefer the 1 hour:giveup:

Is it February yet?????

Tried to get a good shot of the winner but he was moving quicker than my shutter speed was functioning.

As promised, more of the videos. Not the best available since I was using the video mode on my still camera instead of a real video camera.

Mopower and KTM Kruzer (KTMTalk screen name) changing out a clutch hose before the 1 hour start. The hose repairs weren't completed in time and KTM Kruzer had to miss the race.
