Okay Mo made it up (thanks, and sorry if I was in a fog, my day was not going so well). So now that Mo has made the rest of you look lazy and elitest (Like fasterblkduc, of course), wha tdo you have to say for yourselves. You missed total Monster Domination in the Ultralight races, between Alex Freemen, SHeldon Nelson, Paul Jensen, Jake Jonnes, Tony Peterson and Jermy Womac, who all put their Duc on the BOX this weekend.
thanks again to Mo for representin MADDOG.

oh and here is a 675 race report also
The 2nd CRA event of the season is now in the books, and here is the overview for me and my 675.
We had wind, rain, sun and heat all at the same time, but come race time it was perfect.
My first event started in a way that I have never thought possible or expected. As I completed the warmup lap and took my grid position, my visor just popped off the left side of the helmet, BOING. I started waving my arms at the grid Marshal to hold the grid so I could get out of the way. There they went while I was sitting at the gate with my Teamate Jake Jonnes punching me in the head to get the visor back in its' groove (thanks Jake, I think maybe don't hit me so hard next time!). I shot down Pit lane to enter the track as the leaders were coming thru Turn #9. I was able to hold them off from lapping me for 3 laps. but a few of the top guys were really fast this weekend. I was able to eek out a very frustrated 29th position.
No other strangeness this weekend and I finished with decent results in some very large grids.
MWSS 29th
HWSS 24th
UNLSS 16th
MWSB 23rd
UNLSB 8th
UNLGP 10th
I was able to take an average of 4 seconds out of my laptimes this month with some major suspension work from Tom Manley of Manley Cycle (thanks Tom)
I was running consistently in the 1:54 range this weekend which is still a couple of seconds off the pace so we have some more work to do in order to develop the bike and Rider (especially the latter). My surgically repaired elbow did much better this event than last. The numbness still comes about 4-5 laps in but I am getting used to the new way my brake fingers feel now.
I wish to thank all of my sponsors for their support and making this season a success.
