What do you have going this weekend?
Shane “Speedo Man” Trittler came up with the idea to combine FMX and circus acts to raise money for charity in Santa Clarita, CA. Now don’t get this confused with that little show you see on MTV…it’s completely different. Team Mulisha, featuring Potter, Fitz, and Scummy took on Team Death Riders, consisting of some other guys, in the first ever Iron Circus.
Even though the event had some of the best riders in the world, they had never competed in an event like this before. The teams went head to head in three different challenges where they earned points to determine the winning team. Up first was a capture the flag race. A rider from each team raced head to head in an oval while collecting flags. The first rider to cross the finish with all his flags won. Unfortunately, the other team collected the most points, but that is where that bull shit would stop.
In the second discipline, the teams had to nose wheelie and land on a bike stand. The further the nose wheelie, the more points you received. Scummy cleaned house in this event. He was the only rider to nose wheelie the entire distance and land on the stand. The other team didn’t even come close!
For the final challenge, everyone’s front fender was fitted with a long pole that was used to collect rings in a wheelie contest. This put the nail in the coffin for the other team. They must have been dreaming if they thought they could take down Potter in a wheelie contest! Potter cleaned up, collecting 3 out of 4 rings in both of his attempts. Fitz put in a damn good effort as well.
Team Mulisha crushed the other guys and took home the win at the first Iron Circus. Afterward, both teams put on a demo for the fans. Speaking of the fans, the turn out was amazing! It’s not very often events are held in that area, so everyone was super pumped to have the Mulisha in town!
Deegan is getting damn good at this whole 4 wheel racing stuff! He was out at the TORC Series this weekend at the Perris Raceway (next to Starwest) racing in his Pro Light Truck.
Starting the main event in dead last because he’s not racing the entire TORC series, Deegan battled his way through the pack, picking off fools left and right! He was breaking into the top 5 before the halfway point of the race when he got a rear right flat tire. After getting the flat changed he got back in the race to make up the lost time. He passed a few guys on that first lap back, but got those positions taken away when there was a big wreck and the race was red flagged so they could clean up the carnage. When the race was restarted Deegan had to battle back from last place yet again.
Just as he was getting close to the top 5 again, the fiberglass hood broke and flew up in front of the window, blocking all vision for almost a whole lap! Deegan navigated by listening to his spotter Craig on the radio until the hood finally flew off. Craziness!
Finally, with a good tire and no hood blocking his view, Deegan got in some clean, fast laps. He charged back from nearly last place, yet again, and into 5th place. On the final lap, in the last corner, Deegan passed a hired gun driving for the Hart & Huntington dork squad, and moved into 4th place for the finish! Think about it…he got 4th place after starting from last place 3 different times during the race! Without all those random problems, you know Deegan would have been up front battling for the win. Watch out off-road racing, Deegan and the Mulisha are here to dominate!
All that above was what happened on Saturday night’s racing…check out this video from briandeegan.com to hear straight from The General how Friday night went.
