Racing in the windy city, no not Chicago.. Prescott..

On the weekend of March 13th Whiplash Offroad Racing Invaded the Prescott Valley fairgrounds. The fairgrounds would be a substitute location from Holbrook due to circumstances out of whiplash’s control. The track was a 1.75 mile track with long straights deep whoops, shallow whoops, tight turns and plenty of high flying jumps. Both the races from Saturday and Sunday were combined for an overall weekend. The weather was sunny and in the sixties for the weekend which made for some great racing



Action started on saturday as I cruised around the pits and the track to find good shooting spots..

The start of the UTV race on Saturday

Another honda pilot flies down the front straight

That would conclude saturdays action. On sunday I would shoot from the rest of the spots on the track I didn't shoot saturday.

That would conclude a great weekend of racing in Prescott. The next whiplash race is going to be a short course race at the firebird course which is known to take out the competitors, the fastest racers don’t always
win and this track proves it. To view more photos from the race goto... http://www.racemarkerphoto.photoreflect.com/ Thanks for reading, until next time...
