David Schachte: Planet Dirt Report

This weekend the gang was out at the “Daytona” of MTB racing. Hingham, MA was the site of the Landmine event with a short track on Saturday and the cross country on Sunday. This course always brings out more racers to mix things up.

The star for Union was none other then Ben Corbalis who took 1st in Saturday’s short track and 1st again in Sunday’s cross county!!!!!! Way to go. At this rate he should be going into Cross Season ready to do it to it. Schachte tried to mix it up Saturday in the pro/expert field but as usual the Gear Works guy came out and he settles for a 6th.

Beside Ben getting the double, Scott S got more points for a 5th place finish while J.C. took home 2nd in his expert class. Nice going J.C. Our new man in the expert single speed, Roger Wharton, got a nice 3rd place finish while our old man Ray Martin took another 1st. Ray will be donating all of that swag he has been getting.

Schachte was able to at least get the final spot as for as points are concern with a 10th. Two races left to go.

P.S. Speaking of Cross, you better get signed up for Gloucester Grand Prix! It is filling up fast.
