Tim Farr on the KTM 525XC |
Franklin, PA (9/11/2007) -
KTM’s Tim Farr extended his win streak with
his fifth win in a row at round 7 of the ATVA
Extreme Dirt Track Series at the Tri-City Speedway
this past weekend.
Tim Farr, reigning Pro ATV Champion, received
the last pick on the line for his heat race.
Farr decided to start on the far inside from
which he was able to pull out into fourth position
from the start. He quickly made a pass in the
sweeper for third. The Tri-City Speedway track
included two technical option lanes which fed
the riders into the infield for several high-speed
pass options. On the next lap, Farr took one
of the option lanes and was able to steal second
position. He then set his sights on leader Aaron
Reisig but was unable to make the pass before
time ran out. Farr finished second in his heat.
With the weather report calling for rain showers
the “Pro Show” was moved forward
in an attempt to beat the arrival of the rain.
As Farr headed to the staging area for his main
event, the rain began to fall causing a slight
delay.
As the lights turned green Farr came out third
around the first turn following closely behind
Darin Ogden and Bryon Partee. As the light rain
continued to fall on the track Farr continued
to follow behind Partee until he made a solid
pass coming out of the first option lane. Meanwhile,
Ogden had built up quite a lead with a gap that
the crowd thought might be too hard to overcome.
Farr didn’t give up hope and continued
to charge on the wet soil. To everyone’s
surprise Farr cut Ogden’s lead in half
after one lap. On the following lap, Farr moved
up on Ogden’s rear bumper. The two remained
close as Farr continued to pressure Ogden. With
five laps remaining, Farr took the option lane
coming out of turn two and made his move. The
two were side by side as the lanes narrowed
back into one, but Farr was able to hold on
the gas longer and grabbed the inside line to
take over the lead. In the remaining laps Farr
stretched out his lead to take home the win
and his second Pro ATV title in two weeks.
This win secured the ATVA EDT Championship one
round early for Farr. Congratulations to Farr
and KTM for a successful season and their second
championship of the year aboard the new KTM
Sport ATV!
