You should plan to be there by 9:00, or at least I do. I don't like feeling rushed before the race. I believe riders meeting is at 10:00...

Howard,thanks for hanging out on that hill and helping the traffic jam of people! The tirewall was fun. The face down tires were conquerable in practice but for some reason I just couldnt get over them during the race :crybaby:

I am with ya 37, it was a good feeling to get the tire wall out of my head. Conditions were really great! Cutting off the B classes once the rain started in the afternoon was a dissapointment but a necessary thing to do. Not a personally very sucessful race but super fun just the same.

:applause:
A big :thumbsup: for Clint and the race organizers getting as many racers through as they could before the rain came. They obviously had planned for this and it showed. While racing, the conditions where premo and the loop was lots of fun with a couple of changes to make it interesting. (Tire wall is no big deal anymore :lol: )

That was fun until someone AND their bike landed on me and reinjured the AC joint in my right shoulder. I could dress myself this morning so its not too bad....

I managed to conquer everything but the tire wall. I got lucky in practice when I ghost rode my machine off the top and it landed hard, suffering only bent handlebars. I figured it was more important to finish this year.

I ended up taking my rear tire in the face twice on the flat tires. Second time broke my GoPro off of the chin bar on my helmet. Big thanks to Clint for hanging on to it for me. :lol:
