Cartwrights XR Winternational 1997
| A crowd begins to gather during practice for the 97 winter national. |
| A crowded sign-up at the `97 XR Nationals. "Standing room only". |
| John Cartwright with some of the riders at sign-up. |
| A spectator shows off his "most stylish" `97 XR Nationals t-shirt. |
| One of the newest Cartwright Conversion at the `97 Nationals. |
| Andrew Martz has a go at it during the Trail70/z50 exhibition race, which always runs just before all that xr-mania-ism gets underway. Thats just to get you in the groove for small bore Honda four-strokes. |
| Steve LaHatte shows his talents in the Trail70/z50 exhibition race. |
| Clay Hoenshell, the "King of Cartwrights", exits a berm and prepares to enter the whoop section in the first heat of the Unlimited Pro class. |
| Hoenshell entering a 90 degree left hander (this turn is right after the high speed straight) on his 77 model stocker during the Stock class heat race. Hey, his bike really is stock! |
| First turn of the Stock Pro class main event. Clay Hoenshell with the holeshot. |
| First turn of the Stock Amature class. Just out of the picture with the holeshot is #6, "Iron Man" Larry Zimmerman. He rode every class allowed (and some that were not) to rack up a total of about 26 miles on the course, plus practice! |
| Kyle Parks, #2, shown here leading Clay Hoenshell. Kyle drove up from Austin, Texas to contest in the Stock Pro class. Hoenshell eventually got buy using a very agressive and questionable move. |
| First turn of the Modified Amature class main event. Greg Royar with the holeshot. |
| Kyle Parks leads Todd Watson. It was a brutal battle the entire race with parks holding on for the win. Stock Pro heat race. |
| The `97 announcers stand and crew. Boy that was fun! |
