[QUOTE="craig_enid, post: 768508, member: 17772"] This was my second 2-day event, the first being the Boondockes last fall on the TSCEC circuit. My experience was favorable for both races, camping last fall at the Texas site, and driving in both days to the BJEC races. My wife, Mary, and I left Stillwater around 9AM for the Saturday race at Braggs, Oklahoma. It only took 2 hours so I was feeling good about sleeping between events in my own bed after a nice shower and meal. We stopped to fuel up a couple of miles from the site and ran across a fellow racer that was having vehicle problems at the gas station. We ran out to the site, unloaded and Mary went back to get the other racer and his gear to make sure he could race that day. We found JustQL and his son, Quint, and set up our base camp with them. This was Quint's second enduro since moving up to the Youth class that races with the 'big guys'. JustQL and Quint were on the last row, 50, and the closest I could get was on 45, ahead of them. The format was a looped qualifier, so I took off with my row and rode the course until the first check-in, where I would wait until Justin and Quint showed up. We would check into the test section with Quint leaving first, me starting 15 seconds later, and Justin bringing up the rear. We would run the test section, then the three of us would trail ride until the next test section. The course was tight and rocky, there was only one spot, right after the start, where I tried to shift to 7th gear. The bulk of the course for me was 2nd and 3rd gear. The first day left me feeling beat and bad, I was lucky Mary was there to drive me home. I wasn't feeling real whoopie about coming back the next day and doing it again, but I'd already put down the dough. Sunday morning came, and I was feeling alot better, but still leary about what the day would bring. Luckily, the experience and 'feel' gained from the first day made for alot easier riding on Sunday. I felt better as the day went on, and thought I was posting faster times, on day 2. On day one, I was usually running right at the hook-up point on the auto-clutch. Rarely got the rpms up to the strong power range. Day two, I was able to spin it up really charge between the rough spots. Finished with a real 'feel good' attitude, and an overall good experience. Day one, 17th out of 34 'C' riders, and 5th out of 12 'C' Senior riders. Day two, 20th out of 35 'C' riders, and 4th out of 13 'C' Senior riders. I strung together some video clips that Mary took on day one and posted them at... [url]http://briefcase.yahoo.com/craig_enid[/url] The file is named IndNatDay1. There are also some good pics on the BJEC picture page... [url]http://blackjackenduro.com/Pictures.asp[/url] The auto-clutch... it took awhile, but I really like the advantages that it offers. I'll have one on all my bikes, from now on. [/QUOTE]
