[QUOTE="the Eel, post: 736424, member: 19952"] This one was at El Mirage and each year it always seems to be a good turnout. Over 60 kids raced in the Beginner and Junior classes on Saturday alone ! And there were at least that many in the adult classes on Sunday. Among the Wrecking Crew members who showed were Scar Tissue, RM Jeff, KelsoRat, Dingoe, PlayswFire, Old 'n' Slo, BrettR and 2Stroke4Fun. HoleShot, who is grudgingly a regular, was MIA this time. Luckily, 5 of us we're able to get on the same row ... O'n'S, KelsoRat, Scar, 2Stroke4Fun, and myself. :yeehaw: The weather was great ... not cold, not hot ... but just right. As usual the course offered variety ... the spice of life ! Long snakey sand washes to blast through, not many rocks overall but still a few small rockbeds to carefully navigate, silty hillclimbs, lots of soft turns, and plenty of straight-up cross country railing. The one thing that stands out about this race was how generally soft it was. Much of the trail was foot deep silt by the time the 1st loop had been run. Lots of fighting to keep the front end straight here. It was funny how I would come in hot to a silty uphill and my bike would just go brr rrr rrrrrr r r r r r. The sand in one section looked like we were on a beach ... someone was stuck there everytime I came through. I would hit it fast and the sand would just suck up the horsepower and send my bike swapping all over the place. Some seriously ugly riding ... legs hanging off and I'd just be trying to hold on ... squidlike .. like that MX Unleashed commercial where the 4 "cool" guys send the "nerd" to test a big wooden ramp. Thank god I finally mounted my damper ! There wasn't anything too technical but the speeds were up pretty high (by enduro standards) around the time the 3rd loop came around ... some long sections at both 30 and 36 MPH. Seemed like everyone had a good time though Kelso hurt his foot, Dingoe punctured a radiator hose, and 2Stroke lost his notoriously loose shift pedal. Hope to see everyone next month ... ! [/QUOTE]
