Brownstown, IL- KTMs Tim
Farr had already secured a Championship in the
ATVA Extreme Dirt Track Series, but traveled to
Brownstown, Illinois this past weekend for the
final EDT race of the year. The Fayette
County Fairground track was designed
specifically for the event. The track was
very short and low speed compared to all the
others on the EDT circuit. In addition, it
had an option lane to encourage passing.
The thirteen-time Pro Champion struggled with
a series of bad luck throughout Saturday night,
but he used his experience to make the most of
some difficult circumstances. Farr started
off the night with a fourth place pick on the
line for his heat race. The promoter
decided to water the track as the riders were on
the line for the heat race and Farr was forced
to start from a very wet position on the track.
Needless to say, Farr spun off the line.
Farr rounded the first corner in the sixth place
position. Farr used the split lanes to
pick off riders one by one. With
three laps remaining in the heat, Farr had
worked his way into second place and then
quickly passed Brandon Hill for the lead.
Farr then stretched out his lead to take an
exciting heat race win. Zack Stanley of
Mocksville, North Carolina took the win in the
second heat race of the evening.

Later in the evening, the riders took to the
track for their last EDT main event of the year.
When the light turned green, all twenty riders
tried to make their way to the front.
Several riders rubbed tires and chaos ensued
sending quads cart wheeling through the air.
Farr and another rider got locked together in an
attempt to avoid the mayhem. Luckily, none
of the riders were hurt and a complete restart
was issued. All of the riders involved in
the accident were sent to the third row.
Much to his dismay, the referee included Farr in
that group. On the restart, Farr rode
safely around the first corner in last place
position and then went to work. Much to
the delight of the fans, Farr once again knocked
off rider after rider and began his charge to
the front. The small track made passing
difficult, but Farr made it look easy.
Farr moved all the way up to third position and
was on the rear bumpers of (Ryan) Partee and
Hill at the checkers. It was an impressive
comeback to say the least.
Farr dominated the series on his new KTM
Sport ATV. Farr was presented his
Championship plate following the race.
Farr and KTM have already earned two
Championships together this year.
