That's one of the things that keeps me coming back. When you're competing against other people and there's a tenth, or even a hundredth of a second separating you and a few other drivers (just ask Brandon about the Milwaukee divisional) it really gets the blood flowing. It's all business when you come up to the line, but when you cross the finish line and see the time and it's what you are looking for, you can't help but holler, pump your fist out the window, hear the announcer say your time and your own little cheering section on the sideline applauding for you, even people you are competing against, it's one of the best things ever.

Yeah, I love candid pictures of people just being natural and in the moment, but it's not often I see worthy ones of myself.

Screenshots of results from west course (short), windy, elevation changes, my fav:

[scheides]

Results from the east course, longer, faster, flatter:

[mlomker]

Shawn was doing well on the east course.

[Matt D.]

I didn't realize I got so few runs in, sure felt like a lot more. A couple in other people's cars, and rode along a bunch in other cars. Plus I was running around helping run the show part of the day. Still had a ton of fun.

Haha! I put Rosey's car through the concrete slalom finish sideways, punted the left two cones pretty far. I honestly felt bad for the course worker there.
