Excellent race in adverse conditions guys.
Also, if anyone knows the guy who was at Marshall point 4 today, give him my thanks. He found my phone on the way up the course this morning (dropped into the mud last night whilst running back to the camping). I'm properly grateful, I thought it'd have been gone for good!
With regards to getting off the field,
Yes, there was a little slowness in folks realizing that a tractor really was going to be needed for everyone in the paddock and the bigger/stucker vans on the main field there really wasn't a "problem" as such if you were relaxed about it and understood that it was gonna take a while. [edit: also, thinking about it, there's no way they could have started moving anyone at all until everyone had cleared off.]
I had my towing eye hooked up this morning ready to go for the evening (seemed sensible given the forecast!)
I'm properly ticked off with myself times wise. I got the same time both runs (to the second!) and the second run, the bottom field took twice as long. Why couldn't my quickest run have had the top section off my second and the bottom off my first! Hehe.

I had a great time despite snapping my lever and folding my rotor on my 2nd practice run! I'm very glad I no longer own a tent, I was VERY pleased to be able to park on the fireroad for the whole weekend and set my gazebo up over the back of my van. I expect I would have been a bit more miserable if I had a tent in the field in 6" of mud & water!
Would like to see the results to see how poorly I did, best I could manage was a 2:58, I blow in the wet.
hahaha i think my mates dad found your missing bit of lever, i lost a bar end and a lock off a ruffian somewhere on the track lol |
