HOG WALLER PHOTO REPORT

Photos by Jamey Perdue (Photoman386)

Last month the FTR Faithful invaded the Hog Waller Mud Bog for the Azalea City M/C Hare Scramble. Per usual the conditions were tough as this is one of the few courses that is all Florida sugar sand. Luckily for us racers we were blessed with some cooler weather for the weekend, which I personally was very happy about.

I will say this though, when we have tough conditions we tend to get some awesome photographs whether it is Vet A rider Shawn Clark hopping through deep sand whoops or Peewee parents chasing after their little ones as they navigate the terrain.

Now the place is called Hog Waller MUD Bog so you had to expect some mud coming in. Luckily for the racers the mud sections were short and sweet, they actually provided a break from all the sand. Now FTR has only raced at “Hog Waller” for five years but this land and the surrounding area have a rich history in off-road motorcycle racing. Just down the road sits the Rodman Plantation where we raced for many years, with the last year being the 2003-2004 season. Even before those days, FTR raced on the current Hog Waller property, long before it became Hog Waller. Add that in with the recent GNCC’s that have taken place there and you get a ton of laps spun on these grounds. How about the facilty? Man I feel like I am a high-class individual when I drive through the gates. RV hookups, permanent restrooms, a sippy hole and showers, what else

could you ask for? It was a great weekend of racing and we appreciate Azalea City M/C’s hard work and dedication into putting on this event. The club doubled their work by having a completely different course for the Sunday races. Huge thanks to our medical crew, sign-up workers and all others that make these events happen. We members cannot thank you enough.
