That was my first GNCC event, I had a blast. Before the race everyone was getting me a bit spooked about the hill climb, however once I came upon it I didn't think it was to bad. The first time I attacked it form the center, the other 3 times I went to the left from center lane. Great race and great times, I'm hooked.
Was he riding a Wolverine? If so I helped him after he did an endo down a nasty little downhill. Who ever it was I asked him if he was Wolverine that I have seen post on a few sites and he said no he was from the Iowa Series and was just here permoting and having fun. I hope who ever it was is ddoing OK. It was a nasty looking crash.Quote:

I helped Ken Robey get a vine out of his way after he was trying to go around the wreck. Kind of cool getting the chance to actually help a racer out when they are on the course.
ya might have thought a little more of it if ya had tried to attack it from the right side :eek2:Quote:

Yeah if it was me running it the Center looked to be the easiest. The Right side as you were coming up the hill had some nice whoops in the middle of the hill. I seen several people have problems right there.:eek2:
The line right in the middle was perfect in the morning but got real bad in the afternoon. The very far fight line was by far the fastest but it was also the steepest. But everyone i saw hitting it was making it with no problems what so ever! I just came straight thru the creek and straight up and it i got a little help from some of the spectators. I've never seen so many people on a hillside like that it was awsome!
Popo I saw you a couple times over at the hills by the bridge - when you got close to the top, pulled a wheelie and it sat there and balanced as you crossed your fingers and leaned forward stuck out in my mind! :eek: I helped pull your quad up that time.
I didnt even go back there during the morning race... I couldnt even imagine how it was :eek2: Anyway, to those of you who say all of the spectators screwed people up, I absolutely agree with you. However, they also helped EVERYONE who came up short of making the hill. A good tradeoff I think.
If anyone stayed for the bike race, and you thought those hills were chaos for quads you aint seen nothin yet! I almost got ran over several times standing in places where you think theres no way somone would try to climb! One hill eventually became a step up, which was what most everyone did and all the pros took the one to the far right with the bump in the middle of it.
Oh yeah, Jason Weighadnt sucks at singing the natl. anthem too :(
I'm very thankful for the people that helped me out! I was almost in tears when my bike started to go over one me, if it wasn't for them, I definetly would be at the bottom in alot of pain! Thanks to ALL the spectators that have helped me through-out the season and years!
Remember the debate about Yoho verse Foltz next year in B looks like that battle wont happen Kevin ran A at the Ironman and finished 3rd and 26th overall . Way to Go KEVIN.
not sayin he aint a great rider but he should have never ran C this year if he can ride like that...Quote:
