    6 Hour ATV Race in Durhamtown, GA....my write up....

    DAMN this ATV 6 Hour Race was fun!!! Durhamtown Plantation in GA. I rode the IronMan Utility on my "22 year old..and NO brakes" Honda 250ES Big Red. Naturally I was the ONLY 3-wheeler out there. Lot of great comments & respect by the peers'!
    It was a 9 mile loop (as many as you can in 6 hours....I completed 6 loops) started on the pee-wee motoX track the into the woods with tight, technical sections, few off-camber steep/muddy hills, a 60' section of trail that became a mud pit, actually ran on a big motocross track. There were rocks, logs, roots. It rained at the beginning for the first 2 hours. The trail became rutted up big time which REALLY made me work. There were no rider injuries, few minor wrecks, several broken ATV's. There were sport quads, BIG 4WD utility quads....impressive!

    Did the whole thing on 3/4's of a tank! Holds 3 gallons...I believe.

    As for the pic's...unfortunately spectators could only be right at the start...not along the course.

    Me on the starting line...


    here I go after the green flag...aint it clean?!!!


    Coming into pits on two!....


    Good 'ol boys' (left to right...Jason, John, and me)...


    The workhorses... 250ES Big Red & Prairie 360...not so clean now are they! Nor is my face...


    SpeedyTide's wood ....(2nd Place - IronMan Utility) "You got some balls riding that thing!"...another rider commented when I got my plaque...I said "you just gotta know how to ride 'em!"


    Maybe next year I'll be on a 350X or a 250R!! Preferrably a 350X!!

    I was the ONLY 3-wheeler there...which was COOL, but I'd thought there might have been 1 or 2 more.

    Ya'll come and play too next time!! It may, or may not be muddy.....depends on the weather.

    It was a blast....I really did it for fun. Like I said....if I'd had a 350X...or even a 200X....I'd done VERY WELL...no doubt.

    There is supposed to be another event, but may be a 8 or 10 hour event...this fall!! I'll find & post the website shortly. Thanks for the props guys!!

    I may be doin' it on a 125m if I don't put together an X of some flavor, but I would seriously love to do that. Looks and sounds like a blast! I'll have to check into this fall date you're referring to to see if I could conceivably pull it off.


    Great job and way to represent!

    Congratualtions Speedytide! Its always great to see people who have the courage to just go out there and do it! Definately NOT an armchair racer!

    I have never seen another three wheeler (besdies mine) in any cross country racing here either, so it doesnt surprise me you were the only one there.
