to do good. Once Fahringer got
around Jimmy, he kind of took
off. He was pushing pretty hard
the first lap in the woods. Obvi-
ously his enduro skills are pretty
keen in something like this. He
made use of them and pulled a
nice little gap on Jimmy and me.
"Baylor got around me, and
he was on a mission," Bach con-
tinued. "He was going a good
pace, so we just latched on to
him, followed his pace, and we
actually caught back up to Nick,
where we could at least see
him. I could use my skills and
catch him, but when you get in
to some super tight, twisty stuff
with some logs, his 300 two-
stroke suits that stuff, and so do
his enduro skills. Once we got
through the river clean, then it
was wide open all the way back.
I could get a run on him, but
once I caught up to him we were
dead even. There was nothing
you could do but sit there wide
open and eat the roost."
After sitting behind Fahringer
for most of the race, Bach
decided to take action at the last
minute in order to steal the win.
"We came on the moto track
and I knew I had to do some-
thing," Bach said. "Nick did the
smart move—the same move that
I would have done. He went to
the inside on the corner to pro-
tect the line. I went outside and
just slingshotted off the berm. I
just went for it wide open. Nick
was forced to drift wide and give
me the inside. It was cool, it was
fun that you raced for almost four
hours, and the win comes down
to basically two straightaways
from the checkered flag."
