So, we scored today!

It didn't really rain except for a sprinkle at the beginning of our race, which ended by the middle of the 2nd lap. Blue skies at the end of our race! And, due to the prior rain, we got to have the ridge-line portion incorporated into the course rather than the usual truck track/sand wash!!!! There were lots of banked corners to "surf" your bike off, dirt was good due to the moisture, and the layout was fun.

Essentially, it was a 40 minute trail ride with your buddies!!!!!

And, if you're racing the Nationals, it could've been used as a great, lengthy, timed practice in basically the same conditions weather-wise we'll be  in next week.

Anyways, had a great time. See you all at Fernley!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

For those who missed out, the SRA and Glen Helen crew had a awesome track layout. Best coarse for a GP ever. Weather and track conditions were EPIC.

It was great to see you all yesterday, hopefully a return soon for me.  The track and dirt really did look good.

Wish I was racing at the Fern this coming weekend, good racing to everyone!

Oh man, the course was so good. The main track was a litte messy/wet but the trails in the hills were awesome. The best I have ever seen them.

And the long pavement left hand turn section was perfect for a 5th gear drift on the gas ๐Ÿ™‚

Now that was 1 good race day with the best weather / track / trail /asphalt / fire road /conditions that I've ever done a GP on.
We got into a race of a pack of 3 riders trying to shuffle around each other on the ridge going towards G.H. park and that was a blast!
The Spartan race the day before was 7 hours long and this GP was over, seemingly short and quick.
This was 1 of the times Dave Ryan referred to as a race that the weather kept riders away...but ended up being the best!
We had 2 of those types last year.

working for the last several races. GH was good practice for Fernley... we'll see you there!
