Welcome to Washougal MX Park, the premier motocross track of the Northwest. Where Nationals are held, dreams are made and hearts are broken. The Fowlers traveled a short two hours to arrive at the main gate Friday afternoon, May 31st, for the sixth annual DEVOL Top Gun team race.
Saturday brought early morning practice. A hard charging Wyatt Fowler killed it abord his Kawasaki KX450F, making it immediately obvious that he would be a force to be reckoned with in the 450 intermediate class.
After a hard day of riding, and a camp full of racers anxiously awaiting the starting line tomorrow, a feast was only appropriate. Jon Fowler had everyone's mouth watering while slow roasting the pig for a full 4 hours. Team POWER wouldn't have it any other way.
The day winding to an end, the feast consumed, and the bikes washed. Bed comes early for those planning to win. The team POWER pit was entirely empty by nine o'clock, race day comes early.
Wyatt proved his superhero like performance in practice on Saturday wasn't just a fluke. The entire 450B field saw nothing but his rear tire for the entirety of Sunday. His Team POWER Kawasaki 450 showed no remorse, piloted by an ever charging Fowler.
He came, he dominated, he succeeded. Wyatt goes home with the piece of plastic everyone was hunting for all weekend, the number one plate in the most competitive class of the weekend, 450 intermediate. The rumor is Wyatt will be back for 2014 as a PRO rider, Top Gun 2014!
