Ok, here's the "skinny" on what happened. The race was in Sioux Falls, SD. We only had about 15 quads this time (32 last month). The track...well, i think the kids that laid out the track must have JUST smoked i buig fat bag of CRACK!!!! It was UNBELIEVABLE. It was marked off at just over 5 miles/lap. I would say a good 2 miles of it were single lane areas. We went across water, on the side of steep hillsides (while doing a u-turn!), through deep washouts and across rattle-your-brain-out strait aways (it was rough...get it;) ) We were also treated this time. We got to go through a good section of the MX track. They took us over some 60ft tabletops! My friends THOSE WERE AWSOME!!!!! And, I'm happy to report that with the help of my new Elka's, i cwas able to place 9th. I know, i know....9th wew...wew... But hey, i got a TERREBLE start and i only got passed by one person. For only being my second race, I'm happy!
On the Elka's. They worked great. I was ably to ride much faster this time. The jumps were especially fun knowing that i didn't have to worry about a rough landing. and, there were a few spots in particular that i know they saved my kiester. My buddy watched a craptor flip en over end over end (the guy got pretty banged up too). I hit the exact same spot and made it through safe because the shock were able to soak up the impact!
All and all, this was a much better trip than last month. i had a great time. here are a few pics my girl got. This is all of us staged and ready...
