June 30-July 1st in Prairieville, LA. This camp was the first "Men's camp only" which was designed to get men away from their responsiblities and let them ride, rest, be refreshed and fed, both physically, mentally and spiritually. Topic was mentoring the next generation. The seminar was the history of dirt bike racing as told by race pioneer Mike Burgess.
This race featured a Dad's race that was split into 2 different classes. A severe thunderstorm ended the event 4 races into the second moto. For more info and pix go to 2wheelcommunications.com
