2014 GBC Heartland Challenge ATV Endurance Racing Carlisle, Iowa August 16, 2014

The team decided that they would not go through the Challenge section of the track, which was very challenging indeed, and took the option lane for all but the final lap when Walker Fowler decided to give it a try.

“We made a pact at the start of the race that we were all going to do the challenge section or all go around it. We decided we would go around, but in the last lap, I decided to give it a try.  I have never not gone through it at least once, so I went for it. It saved time, but it was definitely difficult. This was a really great event, we all had a blast. Andy Kyner killed it this year!” stated Walker Fowler.

“It was a pretty gnarly event. Each time you switched riders, the track had changed o much from the last time you rode, it was really challenging. We were lucky and we never had any issues out there. This was our first time racing at night and that was really cool, we really had a good time,” said Mark Anderson.
