With the Scout running the team turns its focus to the Dark Horse. With the time ticking down to El Mirage the guys bring in a few extra hands to help get the bike ready.
With time running out Chet, Wayne and the team run into some challenges with getting the Dark Horse ready to race. It's go time and the guys buckle down to get everything set for the desert.
The guys are officially on the lake bed and prepping the bikes to get through tech inspection. If they don't pass the team will have to work through the night to make adjustments. All the long hours and late nights back home have led to this moment. Racing starts at first light.
All the long hours of work are put to the test as the boys get in their first runs at El Mirage. After they hit the finish line it's time to make adjustments and prep for round 2. Wayne and the Scout made some gains over last spring's run while Chet and the Dark Horse experience some first run challenges.
With the Dark Horse missing its speed goal the team buckles down to make changes. A welder four RV's down lends a hand and the team works into the night to make the adjustments for the next day's racing. As the team gets closer to the starting line Mother Nature throws them a curve ball.
