Eric finally did it

After me badgering him for the last 3 years todo a harescrambles last week he finally did one. Granted it was at our club but the course was 3 miles and most was tight woods but the MX track and shorttrack were also used in places. He was running about 7:40 lap times- his worst was a 8:02 when he stalled the bike going up a hill and ended up pushing the bike up so he could bump start on the backside.
The bad news he had to run C class because he had committed to picking his roommates up at the airport and that was the only class which would be finished in time. He led every lap and hit the final check point with 4 seconds left so he had a victory lap all to himself.
I know he was sore as hell the next day but felt better after hitting the gym. This past weekend I asked if he wanted to do another at Wardy's and to my surprise he said yes but then ended up having to stay at work until after 11 the night before so he opted to stay here and hit our track since they added a new section.
While we were at the track I heard him talking to a friend and he was saying he wanted to set up his 250F as a HS bike and just race the 450 on MX. I hope he sways to the woods for real. Wardy we may be down your way for one of your final races

Nikki he only ran an hour compared to A and AA doing 2 hours. The course was slightly longer for them as well so lap times don't match up. I know alot of the workers and other racers kept telling me no way he can hold that pace to the end but his lap times were
7:50
7:42
7:42
8:02 (the one where he stalled and had to push the bike up over the hill)
7:46
7:58 (he stopped by me for some water along the course)
7:57 (another lap with a water stop)
8:10 (He knew he was alone on the course since he came in at 59:56)

I think he learned he needs to wear the camelback not me :nod:

I know he felt bad about entering C class and was called a sandbagger a couple times but not by any of the racers in the class. He did offer to pull his results off the final if it would influence the season points.
