There's always next year, hopefully theres another one sooner.

Btw I ran an iron man and finished 16 out of the 22 teams. I had to change karts at the first pit stop due to it not running properly, after I got into my second kart I actually started passing some people. At first, I started 4th from the back, it was a randomly chosen which I was cool with cause I knew I could pass some and make it more fun, however at the start, the 2 karts behind me and to my side passed me and left me last all by myself. At first I thought it was a weight issue (180 pounds) so I was like whatever, I paid for it so imma just run the whole thing but after a few laps karts kept passing me and I notice a bigger dude pass me and I think to myself, (hows he going faster then me when he weighs more than me - no offence) so then im thinking its not a weight issue, its the kart. as I noticed that, I then realized I'm only a few laps away from pit stops so I waited it out and when I pit, I asked for a new kart and they got one right away. After running the first lap with the new kart, I then knew there was something deffinetly wrong with the old kart and I kept passing other people while improving my lap times runing 49-50 second laps with old kart, new kart 45-46 second laps (will post time sheets later)

Overall it was a good event and I definitely wished I had someone to run with cause as of today, my left side of my body is still numb after running the 4 hours by myself. Hands were numb that day and next morning but now I'm all good and ready to race again. Oh and they ran out of head restraints so I ran without one. It didn't affect me as bad as my neck is currently fine with no pains. The only thing is I wish I had the second kart from the begining cause I know I could of had a top 10 finish easily. This being my first enduro race, the last couple laps were a b!tch and I didnt run not competitive at all cause my arms were done, the last turn before the straight away became a b!tch lol. Then I saw another teams crew chief with a sign that said 3 minutes left and those three minutes felt like the longest ones in my life haha.
