Short says he and as his team-
mate Pablo Quintanilla are all
set to tackle the two-week-long
Dakar Rally aboard the all-new
FR 450 Rally.
"I'm really excited to be head-
ing towards my first Dakar," said
Short. "The team gave me an
awesome opportunity to take a
step forward in my career and
I can't thank them enough for
that. The Morocco Rally was a
big learning experience for me
and since then I've not stopped
working. We've also had some
good days of testing and naviga-
tion training with Pablo and it
was a blast. For my first Dakar in
January the main goal is to avoid
mistakes and continue improving
my skills in navigation. One of
the most exciting things with rally
racing is the fact that you're in the
zone the whole time. Since you
never know what's around the
next turn, the whole experience
turns into one big adventure. It's
a good feeling and something I'm
addicted to now. I want to take
little steps and get better with the
goal to continue improving my
speed and finish my first Dakar
without any issues."
The rally gets underway Janu-
ary 6 in Peru and finishes up
January 20 in Argentina, coving
more than 3100 miles. CN
