Help! Snowshoe GNCC

[David Francis]

Mike, racedaypics took the photo, probably got yours too, look on there website. 2 things I forgot to mention, I didn't re-jet for the 6000ft altitude so my bike ran " a little rich" and my gearing was waaaaaaay off!, could of added 6 teeth on the rear easily, on those climbes I had to slip the clutch all the way up, never used 4th or 5th gear the whole race. I did have a skid plate and my pipe is dented anyway so I sacrificed it. surprising the bike ran strong and didn't overheat, nearly all the bikes that had steam coming out the overflow were KTM`s! ..... I want to say thanks to Randy "15 psi in the rear" Rash and Paul "no gloves" Lucas and Kurt and Dillon and Mike Dinsmore for hooking up with me when I got there, I was high on adrenalin from the 17 hr drive and was even wackier when I got home on Monday night, sure was a long drive! I doubt I would race there again, I will most likely do some further south.

hey Dave when will your video be up so we can watch it?

[David Francis]

I should get the video up this week, I ran Scott roll-offs so I had to mount the helmet cam under my peak, its a little low and cuts off the senery but it does show the bottleneck on the mountain side. got nearly 2 hrs of video. I will post a link on here when its up.

I'm glad you all made it up to Snowshoe and I'm going to try to get up there next year. Maybe the conditions will be a little better then?

One of our very own FTR members won the Master B/C class. Tim Boryk from St. Pete. Way to go Tim. Not really sure how Randy slipped down as far as he did because he couldv'e done better I think.

Anyway, I hope to see your vid when you get it ready David. Congrats on finishing a tough race.
