Mt Snow NORBA pictures from saturday (expert class)
I just got back from Mount Snow NORBA last night around 12. The pro course was hands down the scariest track I have raced so far. It doesn't look so bad walking down or in the pictures, but the speed you build up racing it is a whole different story. In practice I demolished another rear wheel (going on 4 in 5 weeks  ). Luckily heikki @ e13 and BEAUster both offered me their wheels for my race run, big thanks to both of them for the gesture. 
Right before Willem got in the gate (he was the first to go in our class) it started to rain pretty good up top. By the time I was up it was damn greasy, another unpracticed variable added to an already scary course.  I washed out the 2nd turn at the top, but managed to have a good run after that. I ended up passing the guy in front of me, and somehow pulled a 7th place finish out of my a**. I was less than impressed with how my run went, I wasn't even expecting to make top 20, but it was a nice suprise to see the results sheet. The course pushed me alot harder than I'm used to, so at this point I'm just glad I walked away this weekend without any injuries. Once again, a BIG thanks to Beau for lending me his wheel, I couldn't have raced without him
Poor wheel

Thank Beau for the pictures. If you raced expert on saturday and want a picture, then I probably have one of you. (just tell me your number and what you were riding/wearing). I don't have any of sport/beg, sorry.
