My first race win!!!!!

Nicky66 · 10-07-2007, 06:16 PM

I took the checker at Nelson Ledges! I did the 3hr ironbutt endurence race. I ran pretty consistant 1:15s the first 2 hrs, but with 45 min. to go, I was about done for. I'd like to do it again, but I'm going to have to start running, biking, weight training... something!!! Here are some cool pics. NOTE: My victory burn out!

Why is The rear sprocket so big? Is it a tight track?

Hammer · 10-07-2007, 06:39 PM

What is with the orange shirt and a race win? Sandbagger?

Good job!

He said in the first post that he was running 1:15 laps so I would assume a pretty small, tight track.

CBRVFR · 10-07-2007, 08:03 PM

Congrats, Nick!!!

Is it a tight track?

If remember right Nelson is just at or right under 2 miles, but it is a flowing track with some pretty fast sections in it.

The sprocket isn't that big actually... it just looks like it. (49 T) Nelson Ledges is 2 miles

I didn't have to run the orange shirt, but since I was an IRONBUTT, (doing the whole 3 hours race solo) and I was out on the track with guys doing the relay, I knew I'd be doing slower laps, and probably making mistakes towards the end. I wanted to give the other racers a heads up.

SheepOfBlue · 10-07-2007, 08:49 PM

Wow 3 straight hours of track riding is impressive on its own

I assume you had a crew to do tires and gas?

phobe · 10-07-2007, 09:00 PM

Nice work!
