The Icar race had a lot of problems for me. The biggest being a flat landing off a jump that had to clear a cement like slurry which would kick you over the bars if you did not clear it. I also started to have shifter problems along with a newly mounted 515 Dunlop that was leaking air at the rim.
His handle bar hit my shoulder sending me into the corner cones but we did not go down. I took the lead for 3 plus laps until I short jumped the flat landing jump landing in the concrete smurfitt kappa like slurry which cased the bike and sent my feet 2 feet off the pegs almost sending me over the bars. This action twisted my bad wrist and almost finished me for the day.
A few bad accident marred the day. One rider sustained a broken leg and another one was knocked out. The ambulance took so long to get back from the hospital that the last race got cut 4 laps before the finish by Icar as it was rented till 5:30. This was not well taken by the racers and I guess we will not be back there next year.
