| Holeshot artist? Actually, no. John McDaniel took the honors at the Lebanon, Missouri opening round of the 2005 Missouri Hare Scrambles Championship (A Sportsman class). This holeshot illusion courtesy of Miller Photographs |
| Racing is Serious Business Thanks to some messy, mud-caked grass on the first lap, the goggles had to go. In full concentration mode at the 2005 Lebanon hare scramble. |
| It's All In the Eyes Note the tree on the right. Let's say it all together now: Rubbing is racing. |
| I Love a Good Mud Race And mud we had at Sedalia, Missouri for Round #2 of the Missouri Hare Scrambles Championship. |
| Cold and Wet Some years it's the dust that makes Sedalia challenging. In 2005 it was exactly what you see here. Note the cold weather riding jacket and extra-warm gloves. After the race I wasn't sure I still had toes. |
| Mo' Mud I rather enjoyed myself until my steering damper decided to fall off. |
| Hanging Out with the Pros In the yellow helmet, that's overall winner Jimmy Jarrett chatting with another rider on the starting line. That would be the last I'd see of either of them. |
| Motocross Dreams Near the start of the Moose Run, most of the guys behind me would be ahead of me by the time we exited the track. |

| In 2005 I moved from St. Louis to Chicago, which put an end to my regular attendance at Missouri Hare Scramble Championship events. The Moose Run had always been on my "must-do" list, and in 2005 I raced here for the first time. |
