Last weekend’s Dirt Riot Nationals race took place in Northwest OHV Park in Bridgeport, TX. Each race lap was 4.8 miles, and the race was marked at 3 hours long. The winner would be the driver who pushed their Ultra4 the most laps in the time allowed. We grabbed the shot above of Mike Odom, right at the start of the race. Mike suffered a roll, and subsequently a few damaged parts along the way, placing him 12th among the field. All in good spirits of course, as his time on the field looked good.

We grabbed this shot of Adam Carter, climbing up a rock side just before the start/finish gate. The Texas terrain for the Dirt Riot Nationals really had it all. From high-speed sandy roads, to rock piles like the one shown, there was plenty to test drivers and rigs alike.

No other way to say it, we had an absolute blast last weekend at the Dirt Riot Nationals in Bridgeport, TX. Ultra4s and UTVs took to the mixed terrain of the Northwest OHV Park, in an endurance race that kept the crowd going all the way till the end. In the field of 13 Ultra4 drivers, Chris Hoyt took top honors with Brian Shirley and Adam Carter right behind. Adam’s 3rd place finish was also good enough to secure a spot at next year’s King of the Hammers. So, congrats to Chris for the win and Adam for the KOH spot. Official final 4400 scores as posted by W.E.Rock are available HERE.
In the meantime, we’ll kick off our Dirt Riot Nationals photo set with a shot of Brian Shirley above, who due to motor issues was running only 50% the entire race. Yes, the photo above is Brian Shirley at half speed.

We’ll wrap up our small SRRS photo set with this shot of the 2012 series champion, Peter Basler. Certainly not your average rock bouncer, but for us that’s what makes Peter’s BTF racer that much better. Small, lightweight, strong parts, just the right amount of each to make for a versatile & unstoppable machine. Congrats again Peter for taking the series!
