Dade City Stars Of Tomorrow Race Night 11/07/09

What a cool race night at DADE CITY!  Don’t mean the weather, I am talking about the races.  Holding the Stars Of Tomorrow Invitational Race is a great way to showcase the best mini riders in the state!  They had qualifiers then the main, and the kids were hauling.

WOW, I suck at taking action photos at night.  I ran out of daylight so quick, that I did not get the pics I wanted for the evening.  This is now on my “to do” list, learn how to take good action shots at night.  I will perfect this, it’s my new challenge!  With the time change, I did not have much daylight to take pictures, so I ended up taking video the rest of the evening…

The mini riders who made the MAIN, had an autograph signing session, and Dade City gave each rider all sorts of cool stuff.  A program was printed to show each rider who participated, with a riding shot and a head shot.  The winner of the race, RJ Hampshire, received a bike from Barney’s.  The entire evening was great, and it certainly was an honor for all the mini riders who were invited to participate.

Wishing Kory Keylon a speedy recovery, he took a nasty fall during his race.

I will be posting additional footage – unedited – later this week, so check back.

Sunday evening after the races.

What a GREAT weekend!  Saturday I took lots of pictures, and they will be posted soon.  I did not video tape the races today, just took pictures.  I did video tape some of the Pumpkin race and the costume contest.  Took pictures of the pumpkin carving contest, and there were some very creative designs.  Thanks to Erik Fortin #5, and his little girl Sam for carving a DZP pumpkin, and they got  3rd place!  Saturday was just awesome!  Practice, pumpkin race, pumpkin carving contest, costume contest, trick or treating, haunted trail walk, then a live band!

Best wishes to Jordan Swingle #161, he took a helicopter ride today after a nasty crash.  Update:  Monday AM.  Found out Jordan has two brain hemotomas, broken T 7 vertabra and a broken nose.  He is currently in ICU.

Sunday racing was just as exciting as I thought it would be.  The mini classes are the best ones to watch in my opinion!  Between Joey Keel, Brad Young, Dylan Rash, Alex Patapis, Skylar Demuth, Ramyller Alves, Dillon Heath, and MANY others, including SFMX first timers Adam Cianciarulo and Austin Winslow, it was some of the most exciting races of the day.

In the Women’s class Brinsley Dyess #95 was banging bars with #56 Brianna Mahon from Sullivan Illinois.  Brinsley was on her back tire most of the race, but ended up second overall for the day.  Daua Andreoli took top spot in the 250C Class, with Shawn Sckoropad right behind him, and Kurt Traulsen taking 3rd.

You can barely see Derek behind Dalton.

The 250A class was nail biting between Derek Hall and Dalton Yingling.  I am standing there taking pictures, Dalton and Derek are coming into a turn, with Dalton leading, Derek is right on Dalton’s tail, like side by side in the turn, and I hear Derek yelling at Dalton.  Don’t know what he was saying, but it was obvious that these two are on the track to win, and they both EXPECT to win!  Dalton ended up taking 1-1 with Derek 2-2.  In the 450 A they both swapped the wins but Dalton ended up 1st overall in this class as well.

Antony Carreiro was unstoppable today.  As he posted on Facebook yesterday, he raced two classes, four motos, four wins in the 250B class and 250 Open, however, in the 250 B Class Ian Chia is first for the series with 114 Points and Antony 108.  So next week at Thundercross should be a good one!

A few featured pictures from Sunday:

HI WALLY!  :)

Took some pics of the track and also signs showing what people do in Bithlo besides motocross on a Saturday.

The track is awesome, I love the new layout!!  The front is much wider than before, more room for me to walk around to take pictures! Lots of 80’s for sure.  Word has it Cianciarulo will be at the track to race tomorrow, as well as Thundercross next week.  Looking for some good racing tomorrow!!

Dean is going to update me this week on all the activities going on at Thundercross this coming weekend for Halloween!!  Stay tuned!!

Below are some featured pictures from Saturday’s Practice…

Stars Of Tomorrow Super Mini Invitational – Dade City Nov 7th, 2009

November 7th, 2009 is Dade City’s annual Stars Of Tomorrow Super Mini Invitational!  Representing South Florida is Joey Keel and Alex Patapis!  If you travel up to Dade City for the race you will be in for a treat, there will be some excellent racing from the fastest Mini’s in the state.

Good luck to Joey and Alex.  DZP will be at STMX this Sunday October 18th shooting some pictures of Joey Keel and Alex Patapis, (if I can get ahold of him) for the program.  DZP will also be attending the race at Dade City Motocross.

I am hoping to post a roster of the riders who will be participating, once the track completes the list.
