We drew 11th start position on the start. Before the start, two riders withdrew in front of us so we were now the 9th rider to take off. Robby started the race. In the first 90 miles, he quickly passed several riders and moved into 3rd overall. He lost a little time making these passes, but by pit two, he pulled the time back and was dead even on adjusted time as the two lead Honda teams. Shane then got on to do the next 100 miles. 45 miles into his ride, the 0x Honda team ran out of gas and we moved into 2nd. Shane had a clean ride, but lost some time. At pit 4, we were 3:45 off the lead. The 1x Honda bike was leading, but had a big crash and made a few repairs to their bike.

Bobby got on to run a short section of really tough whoops. He pulled back some time before handing the bike off to David. The next 115 miles David would slowly reel in the 1x bike getting us back on even adjusted time. Then 1x pulled back away and at pit 7, we were 2:30 down. We had our first major pit for wheels, air filter, etc. Robby was back on the bike for the next 110 miles. We were down 3:47. Through out his section, we lost time and dropped to 5:00 back, then pushed back up and at pit 10 was back to 3:45 down. Bobby got back on and had another good ride pulling back 2 minutes. David took the shortened Mikes loop and pulled back another 1:15.

As we hit pit 10, we were back to within 30 seconds on adjusted time. Another stop for lights, wheels, air filter and Steve was off for 110 miles. He did the crossover road to hwy 1 and pulled a little more time. We were now even on adjusted time. When he turned the lights on, we encountered a problem, One of the lights mounting screws broke out. The driving light was not working and he was left with only the spot light working. This made it difficult on the twisty coast roads. When he arrived in pit 15, the decision was made to push the light into place and secure it as best possible. This worked, as both lights were now on. We were now down 5:00. Shane took off for the last 75 miles. The lights flickered some then stayed on. At pit 16, we were 8:00 down with 36 miles to go. At the finish, we crossed the line 10:30 behind, 2nd overall.

This is a very brief summary of the race. The riders will have race reports to further explain their section in more detail. Overall this was a well run race. The pits were very good. THR really stepped up and we had all the pit supplies we needed. The crews worked flawlessly. The chase crews were spot on all day. It would be hard to find a place to say where we could improve on our ground support for the race.

After the race, we were very interested to see why we had a tough time in the lower areas of San Felipe pulling more time. It turns out that we were being too careful with the allowable amount that we can spread. One example was near pit 8 where we were hitting 3-4 foot whoops, and the lead bike was over 700 feet away in a flat sand wash. There were several examples of this through out David and Robby's sections. Through the diligent work of Rob at THR, we now have a better understanding of the course width. It's unfortunate we couldn't get this information before the race. The light issues were tough to take. after running all week with two other identical sets, and having no problems, it was a bit of a surprise. We have already analyzed the problem and a solution is in place.

While we didn't get the result we were hoping for, we had a lot of positives. We battled the whole way, and had the speed to win. Scott, Rob and the THR crew are highly motivated. The entire organization of the race was real good. Any problems leading up to the start were dealt with quickly and efficiently. Russ was awesome organizing the pit equipment. Phil and Ty were great with with all the prerace preparation. The bike ran flawless the whole way and was still strong at the finish. I feel we are right there for the win. The issues that kept us from it are already addressed. If we were to go to the start line tomorrow, I have all the confidence we would win.
