I just competed in my 1st NETRA harescramble (Laurel City), and with all the KTM's, Huskys, Husaburgs, etc..., my KDX got me through the entire race without a hitch. I was able to complete all the required laps, and actually finished above mid pack for my class, C250.
Hats off to the KDX!!!

Hey John, I was there too! Bike held up better than I did. Finished 3 laps and placed 13th in C-VET.
It was friggen hot!
Here's a link to one of my pictures:

Varmint, I suppose you're planning to sell pictures to the riders? I've never seen 275 of the same photo repeated over and over, but with different colours.

I am also a NETRA rider, but I did not ride that HS. KDX's are still plentiful in New England because they just plain work in our tight nasty terrain. West coast folks might belittle our bikes, but we do not have their wide open riding area's. NETRA clubs work hard to come up with tight challenging courses that keep the speeds down and emphasize rider skill and endurance.
It is nice to see the occasional NETRA related post here.

huh? I did not take those pictures. The link I sent is me. And yes, free-lance photographers place themselves on the course, take pics and post them on the web for sale.
