"Sammy" earned his TDX title by running an excellent track in under 15 minutes. "Sammy" ignored the cross tracks and had good article indication. The track was over 3 hours old with 7 turns, in the 835 yeards of track. There were many obstacles and there was heavy rain! "Sammy" even had a coyote skeleton on the last turn - thankfully he checked it out and then came back and finished the last leg of the track. Now on to VST!
