somewhere, not just pounding
laps somewhere. It's a fun time
on a dirt bike.
"Usually when I come to this
race I am feeling a little inspired.
I've won this race once before
and I've thrown it away several
times," said Fahringer of his
race. "I always get a terrible start
here. I was riding like seventh or
eighth. I was eating roost down
the cornfields. I got the front of
my bike covered in mud, and
dust in my eyes; all that stuff. I
picked some guys off and once
we finally got in to the woods for
a stretch, it was Adam [Bon-
neur] and Witkowski ahead of
me. I just kind of jammed it past
Witkowski, because that had
to happen. And then I followed
Adam for a little bit. I figured
we'll ride together; we will keep
this fun for a minute. I made one
little attack on him and tried not
to be too aggressive. Then I had
a good opening, and I took it.
From there on, I think I had a
pretty decent lead, so I kind of
faded out.
"Then Stew [Steward Baylor]
started catching me and we
came around the halfway point
here for fuel and I crashed get-
ting to my pit crew. They fueled
me up, and got me out in front
of Stew. I just really had to put
my head down and tried to stay
in front of him in the faster stuff.
My 300 was a little bit quicker
in the fields. There were some
sections I knew I was just rolling
in, so I just tried to be smart in
those and just put it together. I
built up about a two-minute lead
and I just tried not to screw up
too much."
Bryan Johnson was the top
A-class rider. Colten Zuidema
(second) and Ryan Sand (third)
