• Atthe beginning of this year's
AMA Barstow-to-Vegas race, the
odds makersmightwell have
picked Darin Cartwright and his
'88ThmahaYZ250 over the competition in the 250 Expert class.
Butover the entirefield
of 1200? Including all thoseopen
classbikes that usually win
this event?
Not on abet
Too bad.Becausethree hours
and 28 minuteslater-after
170 miles of the sandiest, rockiest,
trickiest desert course this side
of Baja- Darin's Y2250 blastedto
the overall victory.
Followed closely by five other
Thmaha first placefinishers in the
Veteran 250 Expert,250Amateur,
125 Amateur, Veteran Open
Amateur and 125 Novice classes.
Leading to the inescapable
conclusion that it sometimes pays
to take a gamble.
Andit always paysto ride a
Thmaha.
