The event was again run in a two-moto format
and both motos featured radically different track
conditions. Cool overcast weather in the first
moto resulted in significant blue groove. In the
second moto, the sun broke through, raising temperatures
and bringing visibility issues to another record
turnout of ATV racers.

#28 Brian
Barsh remains undefeated after 3 rounds
of RMURA racing
|
In the end, Barsh didn’t care. He dominated both
motos easily to net yet another overall win. “The
track was awesome, everything went well and I
was blessed with another win,” said Barsh. “Megan
and I were side by side at the start of the first
moto and something went wrong in her clutch. The
weather was perfect today and the track was just
perfect. Every week, we’re bringing more and more
racers out.”

#539 Megan
Heil challenged #28 Brian Barsh at the
start of the first heat before she suffered
a clutch failure
|
Racine came out to his first RMURA race in hopes
of competing with Heil. He ran unchallenged in
second in both motos.

Cole Racine
finished 2nd in the B class at Round 2
& he made the move up to A class this
round
|
“I was by myself in both motos; Brian is just
too fast,” said Racine. “I don’t think I would
have finished second if Megan was running right.
I came out here to see how fast she was. Brian
brought us out this weekend, but we’re planning
to do more. Grand Junction is next. That’ll be
exciting.”
