Way to go!

Definitely Congratulations!!

But now I'm curious,, does that mean the dirt bike mags (in the USA) will actually recognize GasGas as a contender in their write-ups? Or will they decide to not print anything about the event now because their "favorite" brands didn't all make the top spots?

How about a ride report, surely there are a few good stories to share. What happened on lap 27?
Great job on 3rd overall that is something to be very proud of.

The 24 hour race this past weekend was great. I am usually not a big fan of fast courses but for this type of race with the heat the more air the better. The second time I got to ride was right before dark. On my 3rd lap, I was going around the moto track and when I landed from a table top the bike just quit. When I looked down I saw the carb had popped off so I got out my tool pack to put it back on when I noticed the shock bolt was gone which had pulled the carb off. Then I pushed the bike to the parking lot for the moto track, and asked a marshal to tow me to the pits. Nobody had a strap so I hooked my foot in the rack on the four wheeler and off we went back to the pits. Everyone jumped on the bike as soon as I made it back. I got some water and my helmet lights and jumped back on the bike for another 2 laps. I felt faster those couple of laps in the dark I guess because my adrenaline was going from the freak problem. After that session I got some rest and the other guys rode great all night. I got up at four after it felt like I had just fell asleep and rode 2 more 3 lap stints. We finally got into 3rd at about 8 am and held it to the finish. It has taken a few days to recover but I would do it again. Thanks to everyone that pitched in especially my wife Ashley and little man Tucker for doing so good.

I still haven't recovered and all I did was drink beer and spray water on the rear brake caliper.
