Awesome track conditions yesterday for the 5th DH race at Fontana.

I managed 15th out of 19 in my Sport class. (I was happy to loose another 10 seconds off my time.)

I saw Shyrmp out taking pictures during practice. I didn't see PhotoMom out there.

The weather in the morning was nice. Come race time, rain threatened, but never really happened.

Here are some pictures I took of the course during practice on Sunday.

Nice pics, the soil does look good and it seems like there are smiles all around.

The soil was really good. The whole course was fun...except for that damn left turn rockgraden.

My favorite part was probably the stepup.

Agreed. That rocky left turn was tough.
