2010 Finke Blog - Race Day 1 & 2 and Service
Day 1
Well 5th Quad away didn't work out too bad and Smitty worked his way up to 2nd on the road but a flat tyre cost him some time to get fixed which saw him down there in 6th place. The 700xx needed little in the way of servce other than the regular oil and air filters and a quick going over. We also repaired the flat properly and re-set the tyre pressures.
Day one results for the Quads Class
1. Aaron Ovens Suzuki LTR450
2. Luke Beechey Polaris Outlaw 525
3. Mick Roycroft Polaris Outlaw 525
4. Chad McKay Can Am DS450XMX
5. Cam Wade Suzuki LTR450
6. Paul Smith Honda TRX700XX
Day 2
Up early for the trip back to Alice, the big 700XX is ready to go so we pack up and head off. 4hrs later back in Alice and waiting for the First quad to come in.... everyone had been expecting Ovens with the lead that he had overnight but Beechey has made it through after Ovens has had a big off, followed by McKay, Roycroft and Smith. Not a bad result considering the week that we have had leading up to this event.
