hat a beautiful weekend of racing in Henyretta, Oklahoma. We could not have asked for better weather. This was the final trials event of the year and double points would be awarded. We had riders from 16 different states competing with several national championships to be decided. AHRMA took over city-owned Nichols Park courtesy of Trampas and Sherri Parker. Located on the property is Nichols Lake with a paved road around the perimeter. This road was blocked so only motorcycles were allowed which allowed anyone with a motorcycle to ride the road and watch riders negotiate through the sections.

With the help of Kevin Kight from the local trials club out of Tulsa (NEOTT -
Northeastern Oklahoma Trials Team), ten sections were laid out around the perimeter of the lake. The loop was approximately 2.6 miles in length with road riding between many of the sections. This gave the riders a chance to relax and cool off a bit. From the pits, riders rode over the dam and over a metal pedestrian bridge to get to the south side of the lake. Section One was relatively short in a small drainage ditch high above the lake. This section proved to one of the easier to ride except for the Master line. They had to drop down, make a 90 degree turn, then power over a relatively large step. Riders then followed the loop markers down the road to where they were pointed into the woods to Sections
