Fun weekend. Wasn't a huge turn out so trail traffic was pretty much a non issue. The trail was decent with nothing crazy technical save for a few spots. Surprisingly almost no dust except for a few spots we were on the mx track.

An interesting thing about this was the track ran through all the pit/parking area. Was weird hauling ass between campers. Didn't care for it.

I ended up doing 7 of our teams total 17 laps with the other guys doing 3/3/4 each. Three of us all had an average lap time of 25 mins. Our one C guy was doing 35's. The fastest lap by a AA guy was just under 18 minutes.

We were 5th (of 5) in team sportsman B. A duo team ended up taking the overall win with 25 laps.

I ran gopro so I'll have some video up eventually.

I am standing on the track while taking this pic btw.

First night stint, part 1 (starts about 1 minute in after leaving pits)




Part 2. End of the lap and some of the next one. I lost power to my primary helmet light near the end of the clip when the battery came unplugged.
