BITD Bilek 300 Alamo, NV

Nearly a summer has gone by without a real finish for the team. We have also went some rider changes, adding 2 new faces to the team.

The Bilek Racing 300 is one of the roughest races for the series, not because of the terrain, but because of the dust..err, I mean silt. Its thick, and hangs like a bad picture on the wall. The lack of any real wind made it even more interesting for the team.

Shaun started the 300 mile adventure 6th off the line and with heavy dust it was nearly impossible for anyone to pass in the first section. Justin mounted the quad at about mile 90, after the only flat tire of the day was changed. He experienced a white out too in his first section, unable to make up any considerable time after falling a position at the rider change. Justin then made up more than 2 minutes on his last section, coming in to the pits just after the now 5th place quad. Shaun rode off on his second 80+ mile ride of the day in hot pursuit of the team in front of him. He finished the section in 4th place after another team lost a motor, but had a bit of trouble of his own in some poorly marked switch backs earily in his ride. Justin then embarked on the final leg of the day, with a checkered flag just 50 miles away. Justin again made up time but it wasnt enough to secure a podium spot. The riders and crew were very happy about the finish as equipment problems have plagued the team in the last few races..
