Faith returned to America only to get back on a plane and compete in final round of the German Supercross Championship which he finished a credible second in the 450 class.
IEG would like to thank the competitors, teams, sponsors, Northern Territory Major Events, Australian Gran Prix Corporation and Mt Gambier Council for their support in 2013.
