This is about the closest I came to DH all day. He finished 8th..me 9th
Ahhhh was it fun. Too bad I dont have a picture of the 4 inch deep 50 foot long mud bog we had to plow through everylap. Other than that the course was great, flat with lots of corners and a fast section of pavement. The weather held up, it just started hailing as we finished.
AJ hurt the old guys taking #1, Step O han scored #2 and The Throttle picked up the last podium spot in the 35 + A's for a Porcupine sweep. I was motivated to not get caught by those old farts...And It sounds like Bryson took over for the RB vs Art showdown.
It only took me 4 hours to clean all my clothes and my bike when I got home. I found that the Tufo tape on my Tubulars had lost all stickiness. So I no longer trust the Tufo tape. I pushed both tires of without any effort. I really dont know how I didnt roll a tire during the race. Any gluing advise?

Too bad with the tires. I checked mine tonight and they're still solid with the tape. Tanner's as well. Maybe you had some bad tape?
maybe bad tape but I'm scared to use it now. I was pushing it hard on the pavement section. I am really suprised it didnt roll off
lots of photos on their way up here

yeah, try that
Your pictures are much more betta than mine. I'm gonna have to steal a couple
I rolled my tire off the rim with the tufo tape. Apparently wet+tufo tape=bad news. Only made it halfway through the race. Luckily tire and wheel are fine.
That looks pretty fun!! Looks like turn one at the Kentucky derby.
Advise.... lots of glue! ha ha
I spoke too soon. After everything dryed out, my tires came off as well. I'll be getting glue tomorrow.
I ended up using glue after all. Continental glue and a lot of it worked well for me. Crispy convinced me to run super low pressure and besides trying to sprint on the pavement it felt super boss!
Tranquilo,

I heard that Tufo stuff only works on belgian mud and water. It's too refined to work on lazy American stuff.
