2004 Whiplash ATV Racing Rocky Point

Rocky Point, Mexico

Jun. 01, 2004 By Colby Turner
Let it be said with enough technology and desire to win quad racers can really move. The epitome of that was demonstrated by #18 Bobby Taylor on his custom DS650 space shuttle and #69 Jeff Hancock with his Honda TRX310 rocket. Both were way out in front at the Rocky Point event front right away, pushing it to the max. Jeff's day would end early after replacing an entire top end and not making the checkpoint before the cars and trucks caught him, he was then forced to become a spectator. Taylor, on the other hand, wouldn't even let blood flowing from his nose (from all the pounding) slow him down. He would run away with the Pro ATV, overall ATV, and both Taylor and the DS650 would end up a quart low. #5 Max Hernandez came away with second place and third overall on his custom built Honda TRX650R. #70 Ruben Wilson aboard his Yamaha YFZ450 was the only other ATV Pro finisher, taking the third place trophy back to Tucson. One last race on the factory Honda TRX450R for this reporter. I'll miss racing old red but where one door closes a window opens. (So how about it Suzuki, Arctic Cat, Kawasaki - do you need a test rider?) Never the less, the #45 Honda ran flawlessly from start to finish. With the exception of a stop to check on fallen racer #63 Sr Pro Greg Conroy and being run off the track while trying to pass a couple of Pro ATV racers - everything went as planned. With a comfortable pace, I bought the TRX450R across the finish line with another Pro Stock win and fifth overall. Conroy did eventually pick himself up after the fall and even managed to bring his Yamaha 660 Raptor in for the class win. #7 Dan Fann raced his way to respectable second place finish among the veteran class. It wasn't clear what quad Dan was running this time but odds are it was a Honda. Rounding out the top three was #55 Kevin Thompson on a Honda TRX450R. Customarily I touch base on the non-pro races. However, with so much controversy over the checkpoint cut-off and several racers hopping off the track and riding the highway, I'll just throw general congratulations to all the racers who took on the Mexican desert and did it with integrity. Awesome job racers! Next on the Whiplash calendar is the Cinder Mountain 100 in Flagstaff Arizona on June 13th. Race Ya,
Colby Turner #45
