    Today started well with a wet but ridable XC course. No rain during the race.

    Saw a few familiar faces.

    And then for the Super D, the clouds let loose and it rained for the duration of the race. Wets things down a little, fogged some glasses but didn't disrupt the proceeding too much.

    And then it cleared for the 4x.
    EC on his way to his 3rd win of the series.

    It was good to see allison today, she's Tiny now, she's almost as tall as me, and justin was saying she's something like 115 pounds now.
    Justin also looked like he had dropped alot of weight, and seems to be in good condition.
    Justin took some pics, hopefully he posts them up.

    Sorry, didn't shoot any of the the DH course.

    The Pro/Expert course looks pretty wild though. Straight down a waterfall.

    I predict some carnage.

    The link takes you to one of Sharkys post. She has a link to the pictures she took of the course on friday. I didnt want to post the link directly... wanted to make sure Sharky got the credit for the course pictures.

    As long as you run a soft compound with a low lug pattern hookin up should be decent rain or shine!
    Run the compression up a little and open rebound a bit to prevent dive and packing then nail it!
    Get lots of pics!!!
    Good luck to those racing!!!!!!!!!:beer:

    the real reason i came out was for some moral support of Traci and her first DH race and to make sure she goes out there and rides instead of socializing.

    [​IMG]

    from talking to nancy, Traci was riding well and able to clean everything after checking the sections out. here a junior pro rider watches traci riding
