it was as bad as you thought it was going to be. i made it about a mile. after getting myself and 5 or 6 other bikes unstuck i decided to call it quits. the worse part was they decided to start cutting sections out of the coarse about an hour into it. pa allen got stuck in one of those sections and they cut it before he got out so every one behind him got to jump in front of him. needless to say he was not very happy. not sure what place he was in when that happened but when he passed me he was top three (he end up about 8th). the promoter said they asked scott horton for a new date next year. said December in southern illinois just does not work.
by the way roger, have you talked to jeremy. he got 2nd.
