 Daniel Boone Motocross Park hosted Round 2 of the AMA ATV GNC
Nationals during the weekend of March 31 -
April 1.
A multitude of hardy ATV enthusiasts, riders,
and track workers braved the adverse weather conditions
to enjoy a weekend filled with competitive racing and
challenging track condition.
ATV Source was on hand to take on the wild weather
and capture the ATV racing action.
 Saturday's qualifying events started with a very wet and muddy
track. The
track condition had a consistency of mud soup to say the
least. The
weather was cloudy with temperatures in the upper 50s
lower 60s combined with a steady drizzle throughout
the day. Most racers were covered from head to toe with mud even
before finishing the first lap. Riders had the daunting task of trying to keep
dry and mud free, but to no avail.
We saw riders trying their best to keep their
goggles clean, but with the conditions of soup like
soil, goggles where of no use.
Many riders rode with their goggles wrapped
around their left arm as they tried to conquer
Saturday's soupy qualifying rounds.
 Sunday was Pro race day, but the new day posed an even bigger
challenge over Saturday's qualifying.
We were awakened to thunder showers as about a half
inch of rain pounded the area.
The track, which was a soupy mess from Saturday,
turned into a real mud fest. More reminiscent of a mud bog contest for the 4X4 crowd.
Morning light awoke the track to 30 degrees
weather, standing puddles, and winds blowing around 10
to 15 mph. Not your ideal racing weather.
Several Pro riders had flash backs to the 2000 DB
races as they saw the rain turn to a mixture of snow
before it turned back into rain.
 Nevertheless, weather this crazy did not keep the die-hard ATV
racing fans from streaming into the park to see their
top riders take on the monster MX track. A record crowd
was on hand to fill the infield and stands to see their
top Pro riders. As the day wore on, the sun began to
peak through the clouds given us hope we'd see a track
just right for the pros to give the fans a heck of a
show. Sure
enough, throughout the day, the clouds began to give way
to mostly sunny skies.
With the winds and sun, the track began to show
life that it was going to be a very exciting Pro race.
Heck, it dried out so much that it even became
dusty in some sections.
 Tim Farr grabbed the hole-shot in both Pro races, moto1 and moto2,
netting him double payout Hole-Shot King checks. Farr, Doug Gust, Kory Ellis, and Jeremiah Jones battled it
out in both pro races with highflying competitive racing.
Though Farr mastered the hole-shot, he was unable
to maintain his lead throughout the races.
Ellis and Gust provided plenty of racing heat and
pressure to pass Farr and win respectively in each race.
 Moto2 provided the best racing action as Farr held his led for the
first couple of laps.
Doug Gust and Jeremiah Jones were not far behind.
On the 3rd lap through the main event, Doug
Gust passed Farr for the lead and never looked back.
Doug Gust cruised to an easy victory with a 15
second lead over second place Farr.
Gusts victory was his fourth win at Daniel
Boone MX Park. He's victory also marked the first
ever win by an Suzuki 4-Stroke at Daniel Boone.
The
real battle was between Tim Farr and Jeremiah Jones.
These guys were going at it at every corner and
jump, but Farr was able to hold Jeremiah at bay.
