Not much time to set up the new bike. He only had a few weeks on the machine...tops.

From Justin's website, blog he was working on a few setups, suspension, rear wheel size, to gearing changes. Last time I looked he was just outside of a top 20 finish.

Here is his race report:

It's a nice inside-scope on what happened. It's a decent finish considering the setbacks he dealt with.

I'm looking forward to the next race.

I guess that was JW going down in the photos Mark uploaded to the photo album. Now that I look closer you can make out #20.

Bummer, but that's racing.

I know it's racing but it's to bad so much depends on getting that perfect start. From all the reports I've read the dust was horrible (read dangerous) and the guys at the front have such a huge advantage being able to see and breath. Once your back in the pack it's difficult to make huge moves up the standings. Georga next Sunday should be different and hopefully will go better for Justin.

....on the other hand kudos for our N.E. boy Jake Korn who was able to steadily move through the pack and take 3rd place in the XC1 Pro Lights class and finished 12th OA. For those that don't know Jake used to be a Gas Gas rider for many years and is a top NETRA rider. To bad Gas Gas decided not to continue support for this kid.

I think Brooksie dangled a carrot that was too large for him to turn up and GasGas could not touch it. The NH GasGas dealer also went out of business.
