"R u!J~ actually pulled the holeshot," Nick
Pearson said. " I chased him through the trees
until the course opened up. Luckil y. the course
was so perfect that I was able to hang close without getting d ust ed or roosted with mud."
After Nick go t around me, we rode as fa~
as we wan ted. to," Russell said. "The traction
was !100 awesome that you cou ld take any part of
the course at whatever speed you felt comfortable with."
The only price paid by the Pearson were the
s

they had lost a fight with a chain saw - sleeves
gone, arms scratched and cut. and e nou gh tree
particles on their handguards to st art a small
campfire.
