So on monday they called for rain all week, but on friday we have had minimal rain and the track conditions were great. Bill and Paige headed down Friday and found the track to packed. Leanna and I took off on Sat. morning thru the rain and snow. When we got to the track it was perfect. Bill ran the unclassified race and got rained on a bit, but not enough to mud-out the track. About 1100 Rick and Sherry showed up for some big time support.
So at 1200 Bill and I geared up for our 1235 start. When we showed up at the line there were at least 10 Ute's lined up with us. This biggest Ute turn out yet! This made me a little nervous, but i worked thru it.
Then the flag threw, Bill took the holeshot, I wasnt far behind coming out 4th after the first turn. The mx track was sweeet! Bill hit the woods 1st and I was in 5th. And then the beating began. The woods were wooped, rocky, tight, and ROUGH. A lot of work to throw around a 600+ lbs. bike around. Bill battled with the Owner of WORCS the entire race, just finishing 2nd, only 3 seconds behind the winner. I was fast in the woods, but no place to pass, and the 4th place guy just was too fast for me on the mx, so I came home 5th.
So usually the pay out and trophies go to the top 33%. So we waited for Bill's Trophy and prizes, too find out that only the 1st place winner gets prizes in this class. So the Owner of the race gets the trophy and discounts? After all he is the one who built the track and has been at the track for over 2 weeks. So does he deserve to take the prizes? I dont think so! Also did he even have to pay the $50 race fee?
Well it was a great race, but WORCS left a bad taste in our mouths.
