Ada 100

After staying in the cheapest motel ever!!  $25 dollars a night let me tel you you got what you payed for ;). We were off to Ada after a quick breakfast stop off to the pits and the track.  Got the Sleds unloaded and everything was looking good. Went through tech and off to the Parade lap. After seeing the 45 mile course we were excited. The day was warm the it was a rough snox type track deep ruts and bumps and some good road approaches I felt great this was going to be a great ride! I was running good hanging with the leaders all the way through the river when we got to the woods section I barley hooked a tree and when the teather hooked a branch it came off. No big deal fire the sled back up..... Ohuh sled will not start. got flooded from pulling the teather while on the gas!! Off comes the seat and crank it over for a while it finally starts!!  Back on the track. I am slightly mad and riding realy hard hitting road aproaches without to much slow down. Going through one section we had 60 MPH cross winds trying to stay on my sled riding 70 MPH through there was interesting!!!  Hang all the way off and hold on to keep it in a striaght line.  Well I must of made up some of that lost time as I came in 11th just 8 min behind the winner. who knows where i would have finsihed without losing that time trying to get the sled started but it would have been a good fnish. Well off to prpe the sled for Grand Forks.
