William Yokley’s Race Summary

Millfield is always a nice track to race. The area is scenic near the college town of Athens. The conditions were very good this year with not too much mud or dust. I got a great start and arrived at turn one right at the front, but I was on the outside and got hammered by several riders all contesting the same space. I entered the woods just inside the top 15, and settled in to complete lap one in 13th. On lap two, I caught a stump with my front wheel, which dropped me back a few places to 15th. I worked my way back to 12th place at the finish in a pretty uneventful race.

Mark Notman got a good start and finished the first lap in 6th place. He had a very good race going until a plug broke in his cooling system, allowing the coolant to leak out ultimately overheating the engine and not completing the 4 laps.

We have a three-week break until the next race in Snowshoe, WV. I’ll be busy preparing for the race and participating in a photo shoot for one of my sponsors. I also am making an appearance at the National Guard Youth Development Camp in Greenville KY. This is always enjoyable to meet and teach ATV safety to the kids of National Guard soldiers. I’ll see you at the Snowshoe!
