Brad was off on the Kymco 250 that his team was testing for the 12 hour event.

#72 Media Allstars(Jimmy Osborn) is off to a fast start on their YFZ. The Media Allstars team consisted of Jorge Cuartas, Todd Macke, and Jimmy Osborn. All three have disabilities, but they don't let it slow them down from doing what they love to do and that is ride ATVs.

It was truly inspirational to watch Jimmy with only one arm start the race, which proves that you can do anything if you put your heart into it.

half way through the 1st lap, #4 Bill Ballance & #1 Chris Borich had already pulled away from the rest of the riders by several seconds.

Next to emerge through the trees was #29 Bryan Cook and #500 Greg Trew

Shortly after the leaders came through single file, the rest of the racers came through all packed up through the deep whoops along the river.

By the beginning of the 2nd lap, #1 Chris Borich had taken over the lead over #4 Bill Ballance as they raced down the wide open straight away at speeds over 75mph.

In 4th place overall #500 Greg Trew chased after #29 Bryan Cook threw the pits as #6 Dustin Wimmer kept them in his sights only a few seconds behind them in 5th Overall.

#310 Nac's Racing (Bryan Baker, Rhett Butler, and Mike Carter)was back to 15th place aboard one of the very few 400EX quads entered into the race. I was interested to see how well the 400EX was going to stack up against all the new race quads available today.

It was still early, so time would tell.

It didn't take but one lap for the first team to head into the pits to give the machine a look over, but the rider spent less than a minute in the pits and headed back out.
