Ruff Ryder's Event

This past Saturday was the scene of two wheel action at Brainerd Dragstrip in Ringgold Ga . Part of a weekend celebration for their 1 year anniversary the Chattanooga chapter of the Ruff Ryder's spent Saturday hanging out & rippin' the strip at Brainerd. The Ruff Ryder's "Lifestyle" is 1 of 5 chapters in Tennessee , they also consist of a Car , Truck , Dog and Music division. This Ruff Ryder's lifestyle is not just in Tennessee...it's world wide , Japan to France and even Guam !
The Chattanooga chapter is not just a group of bikers rippin' around just for fun , they hold charity events to better their area , they state "We strive to help our community" . To become part of the Ruff Ryder's...being a "Prospect" , you have to meet requirements , one of which is to host a charity event !  It's a lifestyle that I can certainly respect .

The Ruff Ryder crew rode in with style around 1pm and prepared for the day's event in the staging lanes where Karen & Brainerd staff went over the plans. As all the bikes rolled into the pits that day you could see Hayabusa's , Gxsr's , Ninja's and even a 2011 Ducati , to name a few.
The action started quickly as the  high revving engines made their noise in the water box...ready for w.o.t down the strip ! But you could just feel desire in the air for a good 1/8 mile standing wheelie...and it didn't take long haha, we all seen a few passes that stretched well over 1/8 mile on one wheel !!! The crowd of Ruff Ryder's on the fence got loud when Brittany Ewing (Nashville Chapter) on a Busa made her fastest pass of the day which was a blistering 5.77 !

All I can say is that I was wide open myself , when it came time to take a break from the racing action (announced over the PA)  I started to walk off...but then, out of the corner of my eye a bright green bike busted a big endo , Ahh stunt bike time ! So back track-side I go...it was all good though , I love being close to any action. After he was warmed up he wasn't camera shy at all lol , I only had to zoom my lens a few times to catch his smooth skills, I got the honor & RUSH of capturing endo's , stoppie's and 90 deg wheelie's 2ft in front of my face...well, camera !
Another cool aspect of the show was a fella that most will know...Jamie "Hotrod" Millholland, a cool guy that rode his fair share of 1/8 , 1/4 mile and land speed surfaces, not to mention he raced AMA Prostar for many years ! A cool fella that helps others out in the world of racing , and watch out for Logan Poppell ... (a 12yr old that's soon to be twisting the throttle of a 1000 ) that he's currently working with !

It was a great day of action and I hope I get the chance to do it again soon.
So... much respect to all the Ruff Ryder's out there , and to the Chattanooga chapter that put on a cool event this Saturday !!! And big thanks to Skitzo for throwing me some RR info ...I appreciate it man ! If anyone is interested in the Ruff Ryder life you can find'em where everyone else in the world is at...FaceBook lol
