Wayne Matlock’s team, who is usually leading
the pack in any given event, did not have the same
amazing luck that Stuart and his team had in the
Quad Pro class. “I’ve had better seasons,
that’s for sure. I think we finished in 5th
at the Parker because our timing chain broke just
before the finish line and Harold (Goodman) had
to push the quad 500 feet to the finish line.
Then at the Blue Water Gran Prix, we got the
holeshot and were leading when a tie rod end came
lose and I think we finished in 4th for that race.
The lowest I had finished in any race was second
place until this season, so it does kind of bum
me out, but that’s just racing I guess,”
said Matlock, who would end his season in fifth
overall. Unfortunately, Matlock and his team will
not be a part of the BITD 2010 season.
