Bullet Speedway was host to the first round of the Extreme Dirt Track Nationals. The rain clouds moved in as racers battled during their qualifying heats. Shortly after the pro practice (that was cut down to 3 laps) the rain became to much for the Terry Reynolds to maintain for racing conditions. The track became soaked with water forcing the remainder of the qualifying heats to be run on Sunday.

Tim Farr's Rig

Tim came without his fellow MotoSport support riders, Josh Upperman and Mark Kendall, for this weekends races. I am sure they will make a strong showing this weekend at Red Budd for the MX national race.

A day after the scheduled Pro races, the top riders from around the nation lined up to kick off what looks to be one of the best racing seasons for the Dirt Track Nationals ever. With close epic battles from start to finish, any racer could come home with the title this year.

Harold Goodman and Shane Hitt prepare to battle it out on the track.

Cody Anderson came down with Rath Racing to race. Cody had a nasty crash filming for the next installments of the Akraix Entertainment video lineup that left him with a broken back. With the back injury only being a few weeks old, Cody hit the track in the Pro am class trying to salvage some points.

Tim Farr made sure he did not get any mud on his tires before the races.

Posted by: QuadR8cer12

At the start of the Pro main Harold Goodman grabbed a early lead.

Posted by: QuadR8cer12

Harold was not out to a comfortable lead, Tim Farr was right on Harold's grab bar waiting for him to make a mistake.

Keith Little was making an impressive showing in third place. Early in the weekend Little experienced engine problems in practice, then to add to the bad luck he lost his seat in qualifying. All the bugs seemed to be worked out for the main as Little made his presence known in the top positions.

Daryl Rath placed 5th place in the Pro class this weekend. Almost every racer at the track had some sort of Rath Racing product on their machines. This type of product exposure to the racers has kept Daryl's company in buisness for 10 years.

Tim Farr worked his way past Goodman during their heated battle. Tim would then gain a small lead and would stay their to the finish. Tim has no problem putting his Honda to the front in the TT races.

Posted by: QuadR8cer12

Goodman and Farr congradulate each other after the race. All the racers were worn out from the extremly rough track conditions that you would not normally see on a TT track! The track left most of the racers wishing they had a MX bike with them to race!

Daryl Rath dives under the option section of the track. One path takes you over the jump and one takes you underneath the jump. This was a huge factor for passing during the weekend.

Jackie Meadows heads up the "over" portion of the option lane.

Zac Willet was on hand representing for the FMF media Allstars Team.
