Round 3 - VXCS - Coal Miner 2023

Thank you to our service members who made the ultimate sacrifice so we can do the things we love like racing dirt bikes. Thanks to Josh and the land owners and everyone else involved in putting this race on for us this Memorial Day weekend.

Almost didn't make this one but glad I did. Was supposed to be pouring rain all day but we lucked out and didn't get a drop of rain the whole race. Fun course pretty slick and a lot of off camber with roots. Those bridges were slicker than ice. I wonder if adding a little piece of 1x or 2x to the edge of these bridges would help keep people from sliding off them so much.

Only had about 80 riders total and 7 in my class today so placement was pretty far off a normal event but I ended up 2nd in class and 18th overall on the day. Had a few good battles 6 out of 7 in our class finished within a minute or so of each other.
