Ron and Dorothy Strasser
Congrats Don! Sometimes those things happen when you are not even thinking
about it! Congrats to all the racers. I agree. Bear Springs is so much
fun (but that last loop on Pickett's was a technical blast last year). Not
racing was hard for me... I had to keep busy doing other stuff until late
afternoon to keep my mind off of the fun. I looked at my watch at 11:05 AM
knowing the speedsters were already on their way and you guys/gals were just
about to rock. Sounds like the weather and conditions were good for all.
Rain coming in so you are also correct... "Mudslinger" will live up to the
name. Ripley is not shy about telling riders it is OK to use a fender!
later,
ron
