[QUOTE="DWreck, post: 1317102, member: 30114"] I ended up going to this one alone. When I got there on Saturday and went to sign up my only choices for rows was 1 or 45 or higher. I chose 1 thinking that it would be an advantage not having riders to pass and avoid the bottlenecks that can happen towards the back. If I had it to do over again I would have taken row 45 as the long course riders rode a different course each loop than short course. This was one of the new rule enduro's where you ride a section of trail until you get to a check and then sit around with your thumb up your butt for 10-15 minutes, line up and your row leaves at the same time and ride as hard as you can until you hit the next check and repeat. Three of the five guys on my row also rode B class which could have been a problem causing us to battle with each other and lose time but I quickly found that one of them was way faster than me and the other guy and I were close so I let him go ahead and I could keep up with him until I would make a mistake and then he would get away. I think I only beat him through one section where he hit neutral going up a steep hill and had to make a second attempt at it. First loop they ran us through a new section called SOB (Son Of Bills woods) and it was tight and nasty, lots of 1st gear stuff. Third loop we went through Bills Woods and it was easy by comparison to SOB. This was where I realized that row 1 was a bad idea. They had already ran the short course riders through Bills woods on loop one and there were no leaves on the trail and the corners were all bermed up unlike the rest of the course. I felt like a turtle all day getting smoked by guys on my own row, it seemed like every time I tried to push and get going I would blow a turn or make a mistake and loose more time so I just went for a finish knowing that I am one race short in the series anyway. I ended up 5th in Open B, 36th overall B. 81 points For comparison: Stanbagger finished 3rd in 250B, 6th overall B. 62 points Grady finished 1st 50+B, 22nd overall B. 73 points. I'm crying foul for home field advantage. [/QUOTE]
