You don't think it's easier to maintain your momentum in a gncc vs the whole track of ruts that are so deep they eat the whole bike? Just seems like apples and oranges. But it also seems like part of the race strategy should be to finish. TM

I think a good mudder once in a while is very entertaining and can really upend the points standings. And while it looks like they are flailing away, they really do need a high level of skill just to navigate the challenges of the night. Do I want it ... more »

Was his post that hard to understand? Very clearly said he was a kdub fan. That race put kdub back in the title chase. Why would it not be memorable? Watching reed's grit and determination last night = respect, why is that not memorable? Sheesh. Do you ... more »

Because it was a "simple knot" And why did Shacknai wipe the knife clean of his fingerprints that he used to cut her down? Of course that's the first thing anybody would do right? Wipe all your prints from everything?
