24hr race support

A BIG thanks to Robbie Austin (boomhaur) and Girard Lall (gasgasman) for coming all the way from Texas to pit for Team GasGas riders at the Perry Mtn. 24hr. Challenge race in Alabama this weekend! There were so many others that helped too – like Rich Smith from Smith Powersports (Team Manager), Jake Fiola’s brother Rick (who kept up with logistics), my wife Dewanna who kept us fed and hydrated …plus many more. You guys were all great – the conditions (heat & dust) were brutal – without your support and encouragement, it would have been impossible. THANK YOU!

Once again, the race was won by the Red Bull KTM SE/Cycle Specialties Team. Our GasGas USA/GoFasters.com team was 8th overall (even after struggling with some lighting problems), and we managed the class win in +50 Ironman (3rd Ironman overall).

It was a great race.
I posted a few pictures at http://picasaweb.google.com/ramcclure if you want to check them out.
I'll be posting more so check back often.
Congrats to you Curt and all those who were there this was my 1st ever 24hr race but as grueling as it was I will be coming back.
Hats off to all the Perry Mountain club members for putting on a 1st class event.

Ron, sorry I did not get to meet you.

This race was a 1st class event.
The pits were THE best ever! Only foot traffic and NO vehicles parked anywhere close.

Here are some more photos.

Team Gas Gas ( 2 bikes) went through 60 gallons of fuel and 1 set of rear brake bads.
How's that for reliability?
