Wow, what an event. From start to finish, the action was absolutely unmatched as teams battled the coal and mud fields of Rausch Creek Off-Road Park. While it was certainly anyones game, qualifying put all eyes on Erik Miller, Derek West, Jason Scherer, and Bill Baird . As Ultra4 races sometimes go, gremlins got the best of the top three qualifiers, paving the way for Bill Baird, who claimed his first Ultra4 victory this past weekend. A huge congratulations to Bill for running an amazing race.
