Here is the bike that I started racing on. It's an ATK 406. A single cylinder, air cooled, two-stroke monster. It was definetly a learning experience. I sunk this bike up to the seat in the woods at Budd's Creek in June of 1998. I was stuck there for over three hours. I had a front row seat for every motorcycle and atv that got stuck the rest of the day.

One of Chuck's friends snapped this picture during the June 1998 Budd's Creek Hare Scramble. You can't tell in the picture but we just came up a hill and are trying to turn over a ledge infested with tree roots.
