Don and the WORS crew put on a fantastic Subaru Cup once again. I’ve been able to do this event three consecutive years and it keeps getting better. The racing was fast and duking it with familair rivals was a lot of fun. Just as with the past two years, I placed third in the XC once again. This time the action was much closer and I had to overcome a poor start. Such is racing, but perhaps a cleaner start would have afforded me another attack or two to use later in the race… In the end Tristan had the best timed acceleration and none of us could reply. Jesse came just a bit closer than I did to finish second while we dropped Matter who finished for forth.
Super D and Short Track were each really fast with some good battles going on. I lead the Super D through the woods before Tristan got by, then we were both jumped by Matter going up the sole climb on the course. A fun super D and some fast times for sure. It was a bummer to have lost air from my rear tire during the STXC since it limited how hard I could ride the downhill which included a couple of hard corners. Brian and Chris were charging hard with Tristan in tow. I don’t know that I would have been with them at the end, but none the less it would have been more interesting to find out instead of needing to ride conservatively so as to keep the tire on the rim. All tallied up (this year by points, not time) I finished 3rd on the Omnium. Not quite the win as from last year, but good riding none the less.
Aside from all the race action, the real highlight was catching up with a lot of great people who I don’t see all that often. Peariso’s were an awesome host and it was really cool to have a place to relax, hang out and enjoy the weekend. It was great to see many familiar faces and to be back at WORS. Thanks,
