Y’all really did miss out on a very entertaining evening. I had a great time from the comfort of the scorer’s table not riding – the riding part looked hard!

Let me tick off the notable points:

1. Bilbo has been relieved of the Sandbaggins moniker (at least until the fall Dirt Derby) by virtue of his 7th place finish (out of 10) in the B race.
2. Bill was the only one out of 10 B racers with a wingnut or hydration pack of any kind.
3. I thought I heard a bullfrog croaking but it was just Bill’s Dissent picking up speed on one of the downhills.
4. Pro rider Rick Wetherald in the A race took a beer hand-up and swapped out bikes with another A racer and then borrowed Bill’s Zeppelin bike for a couple of laps.
5. Rick jumped Bill’s bike a solid 8 feet and cleared the gap to the next section on the early jump.
6. Bill’s bike is able to go quite fast when not being ridded by Bill.
