But we are here; that is all that matters. We will be out here for the SCORE Baja 1000 and chase the 5x for sure and give it all we got. We had a couple mistakes this race, but we will clean it up. DEREK AUSSERBAUER, No. 5x (Second in class). A Colton Udall started and rode to race mile 240. Derek Ausserbauer rode from race mile 240 to the finish.) – – It was a good day out there. This guy (Colton Udall) did some magician moves. He handed me the bike two minutes up. We are racing on super high-speed roads. That was legendary. That fired me up to keep up the pace. CO-RIDER COLTON UDALL said: The magic trick is persistence, patience and breathing a lot of dust. I ended up riding 240 miles and got the bike to Derek in first place. I clicked it into gear and gave them some dust. Our bike is really good. We held it wide. Now the ultimate test is the SCORE Baja 1000. HOSEA STRUISKMA, No. 77x (Third in class).

But we were able to compensate in the straight sections and get some speed.
