WOW, that looks wet.

wet? where? lol it was certainly a endurance race for those who finished.

How many teams entered, how many finished? 

how did sean do?

Sean ??? MR. I will show Borich whats up?? He didn't even finish 1 lap. Although, I would have done the same. It is not worth messing up bearings or your motor this close to the GNCC's. Hell i didnt even race because of the conditions.

looks awsome

17 teams entered, most of them finished. It's hard to tell, because a couple of teams got pretty far ahead and just kept a dry eye on how many laps ahead of the competition they were.

I think that we had 3 teams pull out after 2 laps and everyone else pretty much kept on going for all/much of the 6 hours.

We had a few pro's there (Borich, Bithell, Rowlings), but I think they were too comfortable in their big hauler...can't say that I blame them   ;)

The rain was awful. Weather.com had forecast 1/2" of rain, according to our neighbors rain gauge, we actually had an 1" and a 1/4 in the 4-5 hours just prior to the race. We had rerouted  the course, through the already rain soaked property based on a worse case 1/2" basis, so an 1-1/4" falling all the way up to the start time...well it made for a challenging course.

Thanks to all that showed and all that braved it.  ;D

mud is a good equilizer

it was a great time. I got some sh*t stuck in a jet and that was th causing of me to be towed out of the woods on my (i believe) 6th lap. I need to replace some bearings, and chain and sprockets. It was definitely an endurance race.Hey paul, could you post up lap times or a picture of the print out sheet?

You did awesome josh  ;)

Matt told me to pass on props too.  ;)

Thanks bro.  :)

I remember the 1st endurance race and it was wet and cold too! Borich and Bithell both raced it and finished it. Where ya at Shawn?  :o

PAUL I HAD A GREAT TIME TAMPA BAY TOOK SOME GOOD PIX DEFINATELY A ENDURANCE RACE MATT WAS DEFINATELY A TEAM MATE TO COUNT ON ( OUT OF POCKET RACING NEVER GAVE UP )

I was very glad I decided not to race that one. My bike would have been trashed right now. Hell its dirty just from putting around taking pics.

I was glad i ironman'd that pregnant dog. It was definitely an experience. I needed a jetski instead of the quad.

My pockets are not as deep as theirs and in case you didnt read  the above............they didnt race this time, Hmmmmmm, wonder why? 
 I made a calculated decission to not destroy my quad on a meaningless race with the GNCC right around the corner. I have already made a commitment to a fellow rider to help with the exspenses to 4 of the GNCC races and if i had to replace all my bearings again i would not have been able to do so.
Where were you?

and I made that same decision!!! so dont worry shawn. I will not give you crap about it.

      mud  is not  your friend !!!! 

I was at home reviewing all the smack ya were talkin about the race in the comfort of my dry house. I never said one word about what I "will" or what I am gonna do. I don't make a habit of talkin a bunch of krapp about any race cause it can always come back and haunt ya and make ya look kinda silly in my opinion.  ;D  ;)  Seriously though, I just got my quad back from shop like a day before the race. I am sorry that ya feel like that race was so "meaningless", I'm sure that makes Paul feel pretty good???? Would it have been considered so "meaningless" had you won the race?  :-\
