hey cd rookie....i had a flat but there is no way that could've been me holding you up. you were way out in front of me and i only did 6 laps and never even saw the white flag. I had a good start and on like the fourth turn derno passed me on the inside. I was running in the top five i believe until we got to the bottom section where those 3 big straight aways are. In the tight turn b4 the last one i went into that tree and quite a few guys got around me there. Then i got going again and could see my buddy out in front so i was pushing trying to catch him and i did in that area you call dutchman drive. But he hit that ditch wrong and it sent him into one of those mac tires bending a tie rod and he was out for the day. I kept charging trying to catch everyone but after i went through the barrels starting the second lap i noticed i had no back brakes at all. I'm not in shape enough to be grabbing my front brake lever all the time so after about 3 or 4 turns my right arm started pumping up. That pretty much ended my race there...i couldnt push it into the turns like i wanted, and i was having to slow down way early for everything...but i continued on hoping mabe a lot of people broke down or something. However...everytime i heard a bike behind me i moved over and waved him by...no sence in holding everyone else up. Then on about the 3rd lap i tangled with a tree and went over the bars...luckily someone was standing there to give me a hand..and on the next lap i got stuck in the mud in the first turn after the start. I tried running 20's this race (stupid) and they wouldn't go through the ruts the way i wanted. and on the last couple laps i had a flat tire that i was fighting with....but that wasn't me battling with cdrookie....i came in 9th and he came in 5th.
Great Report Guys!!
Now that I know you guys are throwing in race reports, I'll have to go and read the other Dutchman thread!! Where in PA is the Dutchman? What's their schedule? Do they have a site with all the info?
