Saw your name on KOH, why not Levi as well?

Branik boys better PRACTICE! Rusty who? Levi got added to the KOH list today.

I actually dont agree with pre running courses. I hope the locals show some good ol' boy pride and run like everybody else. It happens elsewhere, its still not right.

I couldn't agree with you more. The 'Springs race was BS in my opinion (not that it matters).

Home field advantage for Rusty? ??? That's funny. He wheels about twice a year. Once to practice in the spring and once for Toys for Tots in December at the Badlands. I've never seen him wheel more than that. 4 and 1/2 hours away isn't real home field advantage like the last top 6 at the Colorado Springs race where like 4 of them were from Colorado Springs. :spin:

Coundn't agree more. The Springs is a great course, but kind of funny how it works out there. It's a set course pretty much...the one this year was almost identical to the finals last year :popcorn:

It's one of those things that everyone talks about and doesn't agree with, but nobody really knows what to say. It's not like practicing at a place for rockcrawling. With rockcrawling...you can try a rock garden or certain hills, but you really don't know where the cones are and how things are going to be laid. With Colorado Springs, you can friggin run the exact course and time yourself and all the jumps and each turn and know exactly your plan going into the race. :dunno:

If Weaver has any control over the park, he won't let anyone pre-run the course.

I doubt Troy will be in to that either.

I'm not talking about pre-running like the week of them setting up the race. Here in the east they really don't know where the course will be laid out until they (XRRA) get there. There is a place out west where the course is pretty much set that is how the race will be no matter what time of year it is. That is the home field advantage. Being able to go there everyday until the week before the event and actually running the exact course.

...and I was just commenting how nobody really has home field advantage at the Badlands, especially Rusty since he really don't go there that often. :dunno:
