With rain battering down in Southern California, there were three guys that got the gift of a dry track here in Vegas.

This is Chad’s bike for next year more or less. The orange logo on airbox is electronics company who provides the ignitions. I like the look and there’s no way you’re not going to know that Chad is any other number than two-two. |
 |
|
He looked as fast as ever out there on a full-blown sx track that Hart & Huntington has. Don’t count him out folks… |
 |
|
Chad spent a few days at the Honda track testing some things and then retreated out to Castillo Ranch where Mark Barnett built him a track and since then, he’s been out there. Think Rocky in Rocky IV. |
 |
|
Another guy that was out there was H&H’s own Ivan Tedesco and like I said in the TWMX report, out of all the riders I have seen this off-season (and to be fair, it’s not a ton), IT9 looks to be the most improved. |
 |
|
Also out there was GEICO Honda’s Wil Hahn who has to be one of the favorites for the west 250 title. |
 |
|
After he was done his motos, Wilbur goon-rode for me a bit but I’m not sure if this is part of that or he’s trying here. |
 |
|
Wil would start a few seconds in front of Tedesco and then Ivan would try to chase him down. |
 |
|
Ivan got close in the whoops a few times. Chad’s on the triple cheering the guys on. |
 |
|
He got right alongside him at one point but Wil got the better drive and pulled back out. |
 |
|
By the end of the day, the track was dry and slick. The guys were looking for traction everywhere. |
 |
| Sometimes they couldn’t find it no matter how hard they looked. |
 |
|
Nice mountains in the background and a raised viewing platform with a great track design makes me think we’ll see more guys head up here to ride. |
 |
|
As I said, Hahn was on it. |

Tedesco’s weapon next year. Managed by Kenny Watson… |
