Windy Hill 5.30.10

When I think of motocross photography, Windy Hill Motorsports is one of the first places that comes to  mind. Located out in the country land of Ellerbe NC, you are almost guaranteed plenty of crisp and clean motocross images. In addition to the location being superb, the staff at the track is about as friendly as one can be.

To start things off the track was a little muddy in some places but between all the riders, the sun and the humidity, those places were surely going to be drying up before long. Not to mention the soil at Windy Hill can take in a lot of water before things get out of hand.

Before the race action begins, riders are offered a short practice session to get a feel of the track or check out which line may be the best. After that, it's get your bike ready and head to the starting gate. The first motos of each class usually run until noon and then riders have a 45 minute break and then racing starts all over again.

Overall the day was a 10 out of 10. There were no accidents that required medical attention and all of the racing from each class seemed to be clean.


Or at least the parts I saw were clean!

Mini riders always have the biggest fans. Their dad! 








A big thanks to all the staff at Windy Hill Motorsports. We're already looking forward to the next race or practice weekend!
