[QUOTE="nonickname, post: 778584, member: 52387"] Well, at least my day was better than Scar's... ;) I had a pretty busy weekend since I was at Sea World on Sat. with the family until about 9:00 PM. Left SD at 11:15, got home about 12:30, asleep by 1 AM, back up at 5 AM, drive to Gorman, sign-up, unload, sound-test, suit-up, and be ready to race by 8:02 AM. :ohmy: I was pretty nervous, but I actually got all of that done with about 30 minutes to spare. After Vikings, I was starting to think I was kinda fast... this race cured me of that notion. I love riding the bermy trails up there, but I think I need to log some track time to ride them fast. Being on minute 2, I got to see a bunch of really fast guys pass me in most every special. Some of them I could hang in their dust for a bit. Others, like Nicholas Blais, would pass me and just be gone... The first loop was pretty fun but uneventful. My pants started to fall off about a mile in because I guess I was in to much of a rush to zip them up. We weren't in a special yet, so it didn't cost me anything (where's Grumpy when you need him). The long special in the mountains on the second loop was probably my best chance for a decent time, but I boiled my rear brake about halfway in. Now I usually brakeslide for turns, and this wasn't a good race for not being able to turn. I crashed twice by grabbing too much front brake, and I almost did what Scar did twice before I decided I'd better cruise it a bit. The brake came mostly back for the final special, but I got lost briefly and lost some time. We had an Senior Expert 250 (Daniel Graham, HBMC) on our minute that was consistently running about 30-secs quicker than me in the specials (he got me by a couple of minutes in the special where I lost my brake). No idea how that will hold up against my class, but I would guess not well. Some guys know that area like the backs of their hands. I'll just have to wait and see... [/QUOTE]
