West coast off-road got its start to the season early Saturday morning with the Best In The Desert Parker 250, one of the gnarlier races of the series. After running out of gas early in the race, we were pretty far back when I got on the bike so I cruised it through my 125 lap to get to the finish. Around the 5:00 mark we dropped into some really fun sandwashes and I started making high speed passes shortly after!

I like your videos Trevor. Those are some fast, fast sections! What was your top speed?
Also, how did you avoid running out of fuel on your loop?

I think my top speed was right around 99-100mph on the faster sections of the course. For gas, I got a quick splash at pit 1, which we rode through without getting gas the first time around

Always love watching your videos! I grew up racing desert, then supermoto with a little motocross thrown in. The high speed stuff is where its at! I haven't raced since the 8 hour endurance race at Glen Helen in 2015. Will be at Silver State 300 and maybe V2R this year with my old XR650R which is getting a compete refresh. See you there!

Silver State is a good one! If you can, try to ride through the Panaca/Caliente area thats some of the best terrain in the whole series. With the course going backwards this year, the last half of the race should be really fun

I was out there last year helping some friends with their UTV Rally team. I love that area. Been awhile but used to regularly go to the Nevada 200, earned a whistledick from Casey Laughing Congrats on the finish at Parker, good luck at Legends! At SS300 if you see a super tall guy on a 650R come say hi.
