(Gopher Dunes, Courtland, July 19th)
Gopher Dunes is a sand track like no other. It has a global reputation for being one of the toughest tracks and conditioning is a must. This was very evident as the racers battled the roughest sand berms, woops, jumps and ruts. You would think getting a good start is the key at this track. It helps, but in no time you are dealing with lappers that constantly are filling your helmet with sand. This track has always mixed up the podium and this weekend was no exception.
With the weather holding out for us, Gopher Dunes hosted one of the largest crowds this season with 40 Coca Cola and Mac’s Convenience Stores partnering folks also in attendance.
