HOLESHOT * RUTS * CRASHES! * 2024 GNCC Rd. 7 Powerline Park, St. Clairsville, OH, Masters A 50+

F-Bomb Warning! Kinda like the Limp Bizkit song 'Hot Dog' - There's 46 F's in the F'd-up race. lol
The title of the video sums up this race for me. I struggled in the slippery OH clay ruts. I did stay on the lead lap with the guys that were flyin out front. My second lap I started to get in a groove and did a much better lap, and my third lap was faster than my first also. The previous rains must have scared a bunch of guys away, as this was the smallest field in our class that I've seen in a long time. By enduring the conditions and finishing the race, I jumped up to 5th in the championship points. And coming into this year, my goal was to finish the year in the top 5, so I just need to keep improving and it will be doable.

Big props to you! I'm just now getting back into enduro and want to do some races. Your making 50 look easy!

[@philipcaudill626]

Thanks again. Maybe it looks easier than it is. haha. There are some very more experienced guys out there that make me feel slow. But I'm still learning - and having fun - so, I'll keep going and trying to improve.

[@SydStrong]

You definitely got those starts dialed. Falling twice that close together takes a lot of energy out of you. You look good and fast 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@philipcaudill626]

Thanks. Yeah, I have the speed sometimes but making too many little mistakes. yes, falling and getting the bike up and rolling takes more energy than going hard for 20 minutes.

[@philipcaudill626]

Thanks for watching and commenting. I really don't know what part is awesome though. ...maybe getting stuck under my bike 3 times ?? Hahaha

[@joshconner1078]

@@philipcaudill626 I think it’s just a good quality video, keep it up! I race the afternoon bike race so I always love watching videos after the race.👍

[@philipcaudill626]

@@joshconner1078 Thank You!! Based on the track improving a little over our race - or maybe just getting used to it - you hopefully had a better track than our first lap. It didn't seam like there was any run-up to the big hill climb, and everyone was waving us around - so I figured there were more guys getting stuck and blocking the lines than were making it up clean.

[@joshconner1078]

For sure, but yea our track was pretty tacky for the most part but the hill was still tough had about 10 feet and a 90 degree turn for a run up hahah it only seemed a few seconds slower to go around it

[@JonathanMaynor]

Where is the go pro mounted? Chest mount?

[@philipcaudill626]

Hi. At the GNCC races, I chest mount it - only because they make a stink about it and I take their 'protest' claims more seriously (because I care about the championship points this year.) At other races I run a chin mount - which I think, and like, much better.
