The day has come finally, outdoor racing is here again, woohoo!!
Rock Springs was having a RCQ this same weekend so it pulled alot of the locals over there but we still had a decnt turnout. The weather couldn't of been finer. The track was alittle rough & bumpy in spots but its nothing a few weekends of touchups won't cure.
We had 6 in cruiser & 4 in class. I had an excellent chance to win cruiser tonight but the first time in a year, after I got the pop, I clipped out & couldn't get back in before the whole gate blew past me! I'm taking the Shimano spuds off & putting a full size platform clip on instead. Oh well.
Class was Stout & a 19x. Stout got to the corner first but I was right on him & the kid was breathing down my neck all the way around the track. 2nd place, I'm happy.
We stayed for another 1hr practicing & if it didn't get soo cold I would of stayed longer.
The track needs some buffing out in a spot or two, the Cooks are going to let us know if they could us some help in the volunteer dept. to get it right before the races next weekend. Your help would be appreciated if it happens.
