The race was very uncomfortable from the beginning with the bumpy roads and strange riding styles(bad). Savage Hill did a very good job sitting in and working the top half of the field. With about eight laps to go I broke a spoke in some bump in the road (crap!). Two laps after taking my free lap I got to get a close hand look at Tim hitting the deck and almost taking both Ryan and I out in the process(double crap!). The crash was very strange considering Tim was behind ryan and ended up crashing in front of him!?!?!? Still cannot figure that one out. After the crash I was kind of worried because Tim sat on the corner for the next few laps. He at least had a mariachi band playing there with him to keep his spirits high. The final two laps became very dangerous. I was taken out with two turns to go(tripple crap!). At least I hit grass for the most part, though I think that I added another crack to my rear. Luckly I missed the crashes in the final sprint. Those would have hurt. Ryan managed to make it through for a money finish. I got back on my bike and finished somewhere?
