The truth is while we love our cars, we don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t like taking 40 minutes to an hour sitting in traffic to travel to a destination less than 7 miles away.

\"\"\/<\/p>\n

The 2020 Bent Wheel Bash in Abilene, Texas on February 29-March 1 for the 2nd race in the TMBRA spring championship series exceeded expectations.

The course conditions were loose the first 4 miles and particularly the start and finish areas. Although fast and flowy the course claimed lots of victims this year. Just an inch off the singletrack could leave racers, tires and spectators full of cactus spines. Flat tires and crashes were plentiful causing several DNFs across the teams. Dumping loose gravel and lava rock in the finish straight could be …<\/p>\n
