::Continued::
In the 4x4 Class, it was a heavy-weight slug
fest and featured three very fast teams. Team
UXC / Rox Speed FX comprised of Michael Swift,
Kevin Trantham, and Brian Hulsey were the top-guns
of the class and started off with a clean getaway
after the LeMans style start.

Bryan Hulsey took the 4x4 ATV Win |
“We had a few issues here and there and I just
happened to be on two different bikes when they
broke down, I either tear them up or it’s just
the luck of the draw. They handle really nicely,
and a lot nicer than you would expect,” said Hulsey.

“I want to thanks Team UXC, Roxspeed FX, Brian
and Kevin for getting us where we need to be here
on the podium, and the entire team, they come
from all over the country and all over the world
and it was a really good night for us again with
another win,” said Swift.

Team Mud Dobbers from Jesup, Iowa brought home
a second place finish on their Can-Am Renegade.
“It went good but started getting pretty rough
out there and had a few issues tipping over a
few times but those things happens and we had
a few spare machines we could jump onto and finish
the race. We rolled two different machines but
thankfully the third one held up nicely,”.

Team GBC / Powermadd Can-Am came in third place
after a good day in the woods as well. “I am cursed
with three years off first-lap break downs, but
man this went really well overall actually. It
was a great track out there and we are happy to
be up here,”
