That looked like a fun race.  I had to laugh at that one spot where everyone stopped and didn't want to go up that hill, what a bunch of wieners!!  haha

they did the same kind of thing at my last race. its like most of them think its a trail ride not a race. which is cool for me, cause its easier to get around the retards when there are sitting still 8-)

I like the two minute mark where the Yamaha gets passed. He speeds up only to over shoot the turn LOL.

I was so messed up at my first race.  Worked 16 hours the day before.  Got a whole two hours sleep.  Left early for the race.  Didn't know what to expect.   Was intimidated at the start and left on the last row with the old timers.  Planned to just pass once we got out in the desert.   They were going so slow from the start in the wash.  I just held the KDX WOT and went bonzai into the first turn.   First hill looked like a cattle herd in a pasture.  Nobody knew what to do.  Once I calmed down it was fun to pass people like that.   Some of the sections could get 20 people in one hit.

I hope to do the VCGP next year.    And will pray for rain.   :lol:
