Wes, I saw it too -- and started thinking about how many locations on
the bikes would have dust infiltrated. Man-o-man, what a mess. (Note
to self: If we ever get to go there, be ready to transport in a
hermetically sealed trailer -- and bring lots of parts washer fluid,
too!).
I wonder if the dust got through the stretch-wrap on the Ack Attack
'liner?
And didja notice the price of beers? 6-8 bucks EACH? I hear that a
bottle of water is $3-4 for 12 oz. (Second note to self: Bring own
liquids).
Still, it's good to see the photos and what all the racers deal with in
pursuit of this hobby. Thanks, Jon, and best wishes to all.
