2005 Extreme Dirt Track ATV Racing - RD#4 - Elizabeth City - ATV Race Coverage

With Two Minutes quickly becoming one minute, It wasn't looking good for Keith Little's machine to be ready by the start of the race.

A huge crowd gathered around Little's machine hoping to offer some help in getting his machine running before the start, but it wasn't meant to be as the Tree Lite up and the riders began to rev their engines waiting for the green light as Keith looked on hopelessly with his tie for the Points Lead and Championship hopes quickly fading.

The race was underway, but Nathan Dallas jumped the line before the light turned green, which would force the race to be restarted, and there was hope that Keith Little would make it to the line in time for the restart.

With the crowd cheering, Keith Little mounted his YFZ450 and headed to the front row for the restart, but he was ordered by Smitty to head to the penalty row with Nathan Dallas for not making it to the line for the initial start, but atleast there was hope he would be able to make another come back from the back row to maintain his points lead.

The restart was off without a hitch and Darin Ogden and Daryl Rath held a slight lead down the stretch to the sweeping turn.

Darin Ogden would claim the Holeshot aboard his FTZ Honda TRX450R

Tim Farr would claim the 2nd spot ahead of Brad Covington and remained within striking distance of Ogden in the lead.

Scott Morris was once again off to one of his best starts of the season with his new DASA TeamRacersEdge.com Engine and was holding onto the 4th spot ahead of "The Bee" Goodman.

Daryl Rath would start out in 6th place, but would be passed by Brad Riley and drop back to 7th with Shane Hitt, Chuckie Creech, and Keith Little working their way into the top 10, but Little's YFZ450 was already smoking with approx. 20 laps to go, so it wasn't looking good.

The Top 6 would remain the same for the 1st half of the race with Keith Little working his way up to 7th before his engine finally failed in the 5th lap, which left him as a spectator for the remainder of the race.

Shane Hitt took over the 7th spot behind Daryl Rath with Little out of the race, while Creech, Dallas, and Jennings rounded out the top 10.
