Dent

same shot again
A 12" concrete style wall formed on the uphill to the finish in the second motos. It was dangerous! I never saw it as I was behind a guy charging up the hill and he almost went over the bars and I thought "what was that?", then I hit it and felt it all the way to my skull. All 3 guys in my group have dented rims!!! GM said it sucked all the life out of his body when he hit it. I guess this is just another one of my lies about how bad the track was. I am such a sack.
