I'm the guy with a white helmet still on my first lap taking a break. It was my first ever race. 49:11 on my first lap. Wish I had known how close I was to the finish I did a 1:57 lol I almost gave up at that gas line you hit and went down. But I didn't want a dnf my first race. You ran a clean line man!
I watched your video a few hours ago! That's a tough race for a first timer, but I'm glad you made it through. That gas line tripped me up 3 of the 4 laps. Just couldn't get a clean line on it.
This series as a whole is a little more gnarly compared to something like a GP. I've done a fair amount of racing over the last 7-8 years, but these races are definitely up there (at least for me) on the difficulty scale. This is my 2nd WEXCR and I didn't do well the first time because I didn't know what to expect and didn't pace myself. Now that you know what you're getting into, you should give it another try and see how it goes.
@shawn_g81 One of the guys I came down with got 1st in the first-timers and said it was the hardest yet. I definitely need to pace myself next time. I dead lifted my bike from a down slope 10 times because I kept hitting the hills in second and fell over.

I appreciate that. I asked the clean-up crew if this track was narly, or do I just suck lol when they told me it was over
