Splendora, TX - Lining up at the gate
for the first Pro-Am moto dressed in a cow suit, Austin
Wilson showed he came to race at Splendora Motocross
Park with the South Texas Quad Racing Association for
fun. He certainly gave the crowd a few laughs as he
sped around the track, cow ears poked up and udders
shaking.
“A buddy of mine gave me the suit
and I decided to try it out as some race gear,”
said Wilson.
It certainly stood out! Known for his
freestyle, Wilson (#808), sponsored by Cernics, Laker
Custom, Media Allstars, MSR, Rage ATV, MXpictures.com,
Scott USA, and Akraix Entertainment, said he wore the
suit for fun, and he now wants to do a Cordova trick
in it.
“How priceless would it be to have
a photo like that with the udders sticking straight
up in the air?” he laughed.
Wearing that hot cow suit in the smoldering
Texas heat did not seem to slow Wilson down. He took
third the first moto, running right behind John Buller
and Chris Brian. But it was hot, so he decided to shed
the suit and wear basic gear in the second moto.
In moto 2, Wilson came out flying. He
soon passed Chris Brian, who got the holeshot, and then
took the checkered flag, giving him the overall win
in Round 8.
Wilson said he enjoyed his first time racing with the
STQRA, and plans to attend as many races in the future
as he can.

“There were some fast riders in
the Pro am class,” said Wilson. “I had a
great time racing against them!”
STQRA’s 2005 champion and current
points leader, John Buller, took the first moto win
in Round 8, but finished third in the second one after
his clutches locked up.
Still, Buller said he had a great time
racing, too. “(STQRA’s) all family fun,”
said Buller. “It’s more relaxed because everybody’s
friendly on the track and off of it, unlike any other
series I’ve ever run before.”
However, being friendly and relaxed does
not lessen the competitive drive to win, evident by
the tight points race in each class. The season’s
top positions will be decided in STQRA’s last
two rounds, which will undoubtedly bring some exciting
races.
Round 9 is scheduled for September 10th
at Austin/ Del Valle Motocross Park, then the final
round, a double-points race, will be October 15th at
STQRA’s home track, Splendora Motocross Park.
Membership is not required to race, and
new riders are always welcome in the STQRA!
