I'm still scratching my head over how Lineart managed to avoid parking it in the tower

Race 2. Far more boring than Race 3. Definitely don't watch more than a few minutes!
You can see me working like mad to force some more brake pressure. Tried pumping it like crazy, tried lipping the toe of my shoe under the pedal and drawing it back up. Eventually, I realized that I was destined to have crappy brakes for the whole race.
Turns out that in one of my axle-hops, the brake hose got pinched between the frame and axle where the factory bump stops used to be, and cut the braided hose.
This was the first race that I brought a spare brake hose to, lucky me. I re-routed both sides to the front of the axle, instead of on-top.

I got to ride my bike and drink a lot of Frank's Sippin Hooch, luckily not at the same time.
Cars suck!
Oh man-what a weekend and lessons learned. First off I need to thank basically the entire field for putting my car back together and teaching me in the process. So many people helped at different times it was incredible. Many times I was ready to throw in the towel and try to celebrate my upcoming 40th but people just kept pulling me back in to the point I would be grinning and looking forward to the next race. Even with my mishaps I probably had the best racing on track with guys that I have ever had in a weekend-in the words of Ole English "It was AWESOME!".
I'll provide a better write up and thanks to all those later this week. Also, have to compile a list of things I owe people and it was so much it's hard to keep track. I'm thinking I just need to come to TWS and spend the weekend being a pit monkey for whoever needs help.
Big congrats to Mosty and Patterson for winning the beautiful guns Jerry provided. Also, to Team Jordan for probably their best weekend of racing and Francis, too.
But Jerry has it wrong-it was a warm afternoon and I was ready for some ice cream. I'm pretty certain I proved the point that you can make it to the tower and I noticed in Jim's video that there were cars and people just beyond the tower that are reachable. Too bad Liebbe wasn't there to provide some better analysis. On saturday I was looking to say hi to Lonita Procter and scare the kids in the playground. So whatever button Randy was pushing for his force field I hope he takes it off his car. I also don't think I'm going to wear ear plugs anymore. However, I think Corey can vouch that I didn't make the same mistake in R4.
I'll be back.

In my long to-do list to get ready, I somehow never ziptied the lines down. So, they floated around up top on their own.
