It hadn’t rained enough to make mud puddles here in over a year… until race day.

I’m not sure if the motor died because of the water but the throttle was sticking on the start line and it hadn’t even got wet yet.

This video is the start of the race up until it died. I kicked it for about 3 minutes after the video stops and finally got it started but it wouldn’t idle on it’s own or rev up past about 2k.

I limped it about half way around the track, trying to get back to the pits but it finally just gave up completely and I had to get towed back in.

Didn’t even complete one lap so it was a DNS. So much for starting the season off with a bang.

This is the first lap of the race. It was the first time using the new GoPro camera and I had it pointed down a little to far.

Here is a video from the guy that started in the line just in front of me. You can see me when he is walking to his quad.

Despite a crash on the last lap, we took first place at the 3 hour endurance race.
The 450R ran great and had no problems. On the last lap, I took a jump wrong and landed on the front-right wheel with my leg extended all the way, trying to correct the landing. It jammed my lag, spraining my knee and ankle.
Some helpful spectators came down from the stands and kick-started the 450R so we could finish the race.
The rim is destroyed but the rest of the bike held together throughout the entire race.

Thanks again to Dirt Fiend Racing for putting the bike together so well.
