Fall Racing at Polka Dots

When I left to drive up to Midland to watch Motocross Boy/Man race, I hadn't realized that the colors were changing.  Actually, they were NOT change in Whitmore Lake.  But in Midland...yep.  It was September 9th.

The most exciting part of any motocross race is the start and sometimes the finish depending on how close it is.  But the start is always good because there is always a whole bunch of riders all fighting to get around a rather narrow corner into the "hole shot" first.  This person usually leads the race for a while at least.

At the starting gate with Dad giving instructions.

And they are off!

Motocross Boy/Man is taking it wide on the outside opening to simply speed around the rest.

Still on the outside but the pack is spreading out as the more cautious riders hang back.

Not going to make it this time - it was a good line up.

Notice all that fall color?  I bet it's really beautiful now - a month later.
