I missed the report!?!? How'd G man do?

Wonderful. I haven’t gotten around to writing one yet. I will shortly.

Good sportsmanship is always great to see.

I imagine that tire choice could have made a big difference in those conditions.

You’d be surprised how LITTLE tire choice seemed to make. But tire pressure seemed to make a big difference. It is reported that Katie F’ing Compton rode 11.5 lbs of pressure!

 

it was Sofa King muddy that it just packed in everywhere. The knobbies basically turned to slicks after 1/4 lap. What was really important was a pit bike.

I watched your video and saw the pictures. That looks like too much work. I loved racing in those conditions back in the day with my 250cc and open class motorcycles but if you can keep the speed of rotation on the wheels fast enough they fling all that mud clear (onto the poor sucker behind you, don't be that guy).

I remember watching the pit crews at Worlds a few years ago blasting bikes with a high pressure power washer then dumping lots of lube on the bike just in time for the next bike switch.

Did some of the juniors have a pit crew and spare bikes?
