Hulsey fought hard to close the early gap from a dismal start

that his teammate (Pitts) built up, but time was not on his side

and he finished 20 seconds behind for 2nd overall on the day at

Spring Creek MX Park.

August 6th had Team Epic Racing traveling to Cairo Missouri for the second to last round of the Missouri

State OXC Championship Series. This Championship Series has also been dominated from the beginning

of the season by the two teammates of Hulsey and Pitts. This race was no different. The two

established themselves as the leaders quickly and put on the best race of the year for the OXC

spectators as the lead seemed to change a couple of times each lap. In the end Hulsey took the win only

1 second ahead of a hard charging Pitts.

Hiper Wheels/JE Pistons/Smith Optics’ Bryan Hulsey jumped out to

an early lead at Cairo Missouri and the battle was on for the win.

Spectators said that they would have never known that these two

were teammates and friends the way they battled and banged off

each other to the end. Hulsey ended the day with a slight one

second gap on Pitts for the win.

spectators alike!

August 20 was the 10 Hour Heartland Challenge in Carlisle Iowa

Team Epic Racing came to the 10 hour heartland challenge to defend their Pro-Am title and 3rd overall

from 2010. What they didn’t plan on were a couple of gremlins that seemed to pluck away at them over

the course of the race. They had fallen back to as far as 5th in their class at one time, but their never give

up attitude and determination pulled them back to 2nd place Pro-Am and 5th overall by the end of the 10

hours of grueling racing.

The Missouri State OXC Championship comes down to the last round

September 3rd saw the final round of the 2011 OXC Championship be decided at Mountain View Missouri.

As the Pro class took off, Team Epic Racing’s Hulsey and Pitts were in 2nd and 3rd respectfully. Hulsey

took advantage early of a mistake by the early leader and grabbed the lead and ultimately holding onto

it all the way to the finish. Pitts fought hard, but would eventually fall victim to the extremely dusty and

rough conditions and slip back to his only non-Podium finish of the season with a fourth place on the day

which would be his throw out race for the season. In the end by winning the final race, Hulsey would

emerge with the Missouri State OXC Championship by a 1 point margin over his teammate Pitts.

Sunday September 4th John Pitts traveled to Plainview Illinois for a Local WFO series race. He got the

hole shot and lead for a half a lap when he got caught up in some trees and fell all the way to the back of

the pack. From there he had some ground to make up and was able to make some passes on the

extremely dusty track by taking advantage of some creek sections and some grass sections and

eventually retook the lead and held it to the end of the race. At the finish he had over a 5 minute lead

over 2nd place.
