	Where is the entrance to parking for the race? Went there last week but went to complex off of HWY 160. Someone told me that is not where parking is but on the opposite end somewhere.

	853 It's not about comparing it's about knowing the races history. If you look at the lap times there where several solo riders that posted all their laps under 50 min. If you have been doing this race in years past or keeping track of lap times over the years you would know that this year the lap times are real fast compared to years past. Not long ago a sub 45 min lap there was only done by a few and then only for one maybe two laps.

	853, just curious if that is you in the avatar pix; a little more hair than what I recall from RRT. It looks like you have some real bike history behind you.
