SML Goes Racing with Colt Nichols at Washougal!

Colt Nichols has always been one of the easiest pro racers for us to work with, and when he came in for the SML Show a couple of weeks ago, he mentioned that he might try to put together a private effort for the Washougal MX National in order to stack some points for the SMX Playoffs this Fall. Having raced the Monster Energy Supercross Series for Honda HRC, Nichols headed to the UK to start the World Supercross Championship with Rick Ware Racing aboard his Kawasaki KX450. Contracted to race WSX only with RWR, any effort he put into the MX Nationals would be on his own time. That said, knowing how amazing the 2023 Kawasaki KX450SR test bike we had in our shop was, we offered our test bike up to our friend Colt, should nothing else materialize. Lo and behold, Colt called us up a few days before the race and asked if the offer was still on the table. Long story short, he pulled swap’s 48s off and after a couple days of testing, headed to the Pacific Northwest to race his first-ever 450 MX National. Foggy Llama films was there to document the day with Colt and the Kawasaki KX450SR. Enjoy!
