Paducah, KY – Round #5 of the Extreme Dirt Track Series headed west to the Paducah International Speedway and the riders were greeted with temps in the 90’s with high humidity, but atleast it has remained dry. A total of 352 riders signed up for this weekend’s event.

Unfortunately and disappointingly, this years event has been extremely disorganized and the track owner is even forcing the press to pay the $30 gate fee just to cover the event, and even had a journalist for another publication escorted off the property when he argued his point that the media shouldn’t be forced to pay an entrance fee, and I personally agree him 100%.

I even considered not posting the Live Coverage because of the way they treated a fellow journalist, but it wouldn’t be fair to those that look forward to the coverage, plus I heard that Keith Little’s girl friend wanted to know if the coverage would be up tonight, so I couldn’t let her down or the rest of the Extreme Dirt Track fans, and special thanks goes out of Mike at the track for providing the help with the coverage and paying the entrance fee.

The Pro Championship point chase heated up after Elizabeth City with Darin Ogden taking the Win followed by Tim Farr and Brad Covington. Farr’s 2nd place finish was enough to catapult him into the points lead with both Goodman and Little dropping out of the lead after little had engine issues and Goodman wasn’t able to get around Scott Morris, which dropped him back to 2nd place in points with Darin Ogden moving up into 3rd.

Zac Willet will not be in the Pro lineup this weekend after wrecking on his bicycle, but Jackie Meadows will be after making atleast an one race return from retirement.

Keith Little had his Lonestar/Yamaha YFZ450 rebuilt and ready to go this weekend in Paducah as he jumped out to the early lead and never looked back as he lead the entire race with the Win over last week’s winner Darin Ogden with Daryl Rath Finishing in third.

Jackie meadows finished out in fourth place, after he decided to make a comeback from retirement aboard aboard a Yamaha YFZ450, and he has been training hard the past few weeks trying to get his YFZ and himself dialed in for tonight’s event.

We asked Jackie why did he decide to come back to racing after he planned on retiring after last year’s race, and he said “I am not real good at quitting.” Fair enough, and it was great to have him back in the lineup.
