2018 TORCS

I entered but have no idea if I'm going or not. Nothing to do with weather, just not "feeling" it.:giveup:

Mason's on his way there. I signed up, but like you, I'm just not feeling it either.
 
Course was pretty good today aside from a few large sand whoops and a couple muddy sections that were easily avoided. Can't say I'm a fan of so many cut off tree trunks in the racing lane, even though they did a good job of identifying them by painting them orange. I have a problem with target fixation... lol.

Weather was perfect. I made a last minute decision to race, working on the bike until 11:30 last night then leaving SA at 7 this morning to get there in time to register and get at least one lap of practice. Hadn't been on the bike since December '16.

I ran out of gas, literally, about 1/4 mile from the finish on the last lap. Luckily it happened in a section of creek bed that ran parallel to the road. I was able to walk the 100 or so yards to the truck, get the fuel jug, walk back to the bike, put the half-gallon left in the jug in the bike, ride back to the truck to drop off the jug, ride back to the point where I exited the course and finish the race. I'm pretty certain I was last in class (since the start) and most probably last overall, but at least I got the satisfaction of finishing.

I don't normally race Sunday classes so the course was more beat up then I'm used to but still a fun day overall and I'm glad I went.
 
My results.

Was just reminded about KTM contingency money, between that and Rocky Mountain gas cards, 290 bucks for the year, sweet for an old man. And a sweet jacket!

Make sure you check website, don't know about there but we're soaked here and still raining. I think I saw 90% for Saturday there.

BTW, either way I'm not going.
 
FYI, as of now still on. He says hasn't been much rain. And that place is full of sand.
