Brashear, TX – The final round of the Extreme Dirt Track Series is in the record books even though Mother Nature tried to cut the series short with Hurricane Rita forcing the event to be postponed one week, but the weather this weekend was calm with no pending hurricanes lurking in the Atlantic Ocean or Gulf of Mexico, but it was definitely hot with temps in the 90’s.

The rider turnout for the final round was below average with only around 200 riders making the long trip to Texas, which still wasn’t bad considering gas prices soaring to over $3.00 per gallon in many parts of the Country and the race being rescheduled.

For many the Championship was one the line and after traveling to the previous five races, they weren’t going to let anything stand in the way of them going to Texas for a chance at the Championship, and the trip was worthwhile for several riders in the amateur races that it came down to the final race of the season to determine the class champion.

The Pro Championship was also on the line with Tim Farr(115 Points) in the lead followed by Darin Ogden(107 Points) and Keith Little(105 Points). Last year, Keith Little(Lonestar Racing) was able to win the Championship in the final round, and he once again gave it his all this year by working his way into the lead and winning the Pro Class, but Tim Farr(Baldwin Racing) knew what he had to do to win the championship and finishing right behind Little in second place was more than enough to win the Championship by five points over Little. The win by Little did move him past Darin Ogden(K&K ATV) in points after Ogden finished in fourth place behind Shane Hitt who lead early in the race, but a bobble over a jump dropped Hitt back to third where he stayed to the finish line.

The third place finish by Shane Hitt was enough to move him up to fourth place in points past fellow Suzuki rider Harold Goodman who couldn't attend this weekend's event due to a prior commitment to race at another event. This has been a trying year for Shane Hitt with his comeback from several ankle surgeries and readjusting to his new ride the Suzuki LTZ400 all at the same time, so he started off the season rocky and finished out the year with two back to back podium finishes and the TT legend Shane Hitt is finally back.

The second place finish this weekend gave Tim Farr his announced tenth Championship of his career including the Pro Quads Series, and it couldn’t come at a better time after signing another two year deal with Honda. “I just got in a groove and tried to ride smart, so I could win the Championship,” Farr Said, and he did exactly that by keeping himself firmly planted between Little and Hitt. “I just rode around and finished, so I wouldn’t risk wrecking into either of them out front running for the championship,” said Hitt. A multi-time champion himself knows how important each race is in EDT and didn’t want to be a deciding factor, which was extremely honorable on his part.

Darin Ogden had his championship hopes taken away by finishing in 4th place barely ahead of Brad Covington. “I knew it was coming down to the last race, and I knew what I had to do, but I just got tired, plan and simple,” said Ogden. “I had a good bike, but I just got tired.” It was a tough break for Ogden, but his third overall finish for the year where he earned his first overall win at Elizabeth City is definitely something to be proud of as a privateer.

The Extreme Dirt Track Series has now officially been wrapped up, but the coverage from the event is far from over, so check back for a complete race report of the Pros and Amateurs along with photos, but until then, here are some of the results from Round #6 Bullet Speedway.
