ATVA Extreme Dirt Track Season Opener Delayed Due to Rain
Brashear, TX - Bullet Speedway

Brashear, TX (5/6/2006) - The Extreme Dirt Track season was set to begin today, but the rain clouds moved in and forced the event to be postponed till Sunday unless the rain continues, which will force it to be either rescheduled or cancelled.

On the bright side, over 300 riders arrived for the opening round of the series despite the high gas prices, which has put a major pinch on the wallet for those traveling long distances to the races.

Prior to the rain, the pros had an oppurtunity to head out for a 30 minute practice, which had Keith Little heading back to the pits early when his engine began blowing out a smoke screen, but with the rain, Little should plenty of time to have his Honda ready to race on Sunday. Tim Farr was also on hand to defend his Pro National Title, and he was looking great on his Baldwin Honda. Tim's back hasn't been able to withstand two motos of motocross racing yet this season, but Extreme Track Series should be less demanding on his body, which should allow him to have a fighting chance at defending his title.

Over the off season, both Shane Hitt and Harold Goodman have made the switch to the Honda, and with Darin Ogden also on a Honda, it appears that there will be plenty of red on the Podium this year.

Hopefully the rain holds off for the racing to begin on Sunday, and either way, ATVriders.com will bring you an update from the track by Sunday Evening.
