Any rain projected?
Thanks for the Bday wish! :)
29 for Life :o :D
Any news on what's going on over there?
RAIN......I wasn't there, but heard it just poured on Sunday. I have raced SW when it's gotten soaked, and since the track is wound in and out of a huge wash......it gets REALLY Deep and full of mud if it rains too much. I heard they had to reroute the whole course to try to keep people out of the deepest "ponds" that developed. I heard it was also a matter of who could keep their quad alive the longest.....sucking water and mud into intakes is a motor killer.....
The WORCS crew shorted the course from over 6 miles on Saturday to just over 2 on Sunday. In many place the water was over 4' deep and much of the MX track in front of the grand stands was totally under water.
I have never raced in so much standing water and mucky ucky muddy soup and I'm from Washington, the land of rain. To sum it up in one word, it was "UGLY".
400grl is right, the key was to keep the quad running on Sunday, over half the entries ended up not finishing the race :eek:
WOW!!!! What a race weekend.
Mine started on Saturday. I barely made it to the line in time for my Women's race. I was going by a clock that was an hour behind...next thing you know someone says my race is at the line and ready to go...
I had to throw all my gear on in like one minute. Was all geared up and realized i didn't have my gloves...too bad...no time
Rushed to the line and literally rolled up...stopped shifted to 2nd and Homer pulled the flag...holy crap.. best start I've had though...I was so close to the holeshot...
Ended up racing without gloves and really tore through my thumb but persisted through and finished 2nd.
Sunday was a mess!!! I raced in the production C class and holy crap. I was in first and my goggles broke...so raced 3 lap without....and pulled in for a goggle change at the beginning of the 4th lap and got roosted right after pulling out of the pits so I was without goggles for the entire 4th lap but managed to pull out a first place....also got 1st overall (thats a first for me)
Exciting but so gross. I swear I was looking through chocolate milk the entire race. Not to mention when I was done I practically stripped in the trailer and looked like I was dunked in chocolate milk...so gross...my gear was trashed...
Drove home last night and stopped at the pressure washer and washed everything...yikes
What about everyone else?
Crazy weekend!!
Looking forward to Mesquite!!
