2008/10/26 Mountain Man Race at Lewis Morris Park

Some of the Marty’s and Montclair riders I know were competing in this biathlon so I went up to join them and take some pictures. Some competitors had some awesome costumes and it was a great day full of comradery and excitement. And tons and tons of free food and prizes!

Great event, I really enjoyed it even though I was only a spectator.

Click the pic for the rest of my pictures, Somewhere in the middle of the pages I switched from holding the camera horizontal to vertical. this is about the time when I started seeing people come through on 2nd laps. If you were very fast, go back some images or a page or two, if you were trailing your first lap may be vertical.

Here’s a picture of my buddy Utah who placed 4th. I’m almost positive he has the fastest lap times of anyone not wearing tights.

         ahh, rally maine. my favote rally from 2007 and a great showing again for 2008.  i went up this year with ryan again, and also joining us was my maria, satanpez steve, shindaddy rich, and philthmonger. we all took off work on thursday and friday and PACKED into steve's hyundai hatchback and ryan's mom's altima. its about an 8 hour drive and we had all day so we tried to take our time, but that proved futile as steve and rich tried to break the speed of sound in vehicles not meant to go past 60mph.

highlights:

together we fly out of newark on friday night the 13th, uneventful and we make it to SLC utah around midnight that night. we go to get our car from fox’s rental car where we have a reservation and after waiting and calling can waiting and calling it turns out they close at midnight and didn’t wait for us. they had our flight number, fuck them in the ass.

after figuring this out we go back into the airport and talk to the friendly people at national/alamo (guess they are partnered somehow after midnight) and we get set up with a nice deal on a nissan rouge. i even had a national car discount card and we got the upgraded car for free and got a nice discount. sweet.

we pile all our shit into our new awd rouge and get out of town and crash for the night at a best western. we wake up and see utah for the first time during the day. holy shit, its taco time!

STPR has made some changes from last year that proved to be an improvement for us spectators. Gone is the Subaru splash, a great place for media but a terrible view for spectators. Introduced are the Waste Management stages though it is worse for spectators as there is no spectator area, and also added is the Tioga County Fairgrounds Super Special Stage where spectators can enjoy seeing about a mile of rally action from the bleachers. Not true rally, but at least it is easy access for those non diehard fans.
