Dang, this doesn't get any easier...
I'll have a good talk with LT and get his opinion.

If anyone cares why I need it perfect:
My son is 17 and beat me last year at the Virginia City Grand Prix for the first time. Just by a few minutes over a 4.5 hour all-out race.
Part of the problem was that I endo-ed on the last lap and half the Cherry Coke in my camel-bak ended up on my goggles. Can you say dust magnet? Literally had to stop and lick my goggles clean.
The other part of the problem was I didn't have the Gasser quite dialed.
Next April will be the last opportunity I have to get even. He'll graduate high school and heads off to the Marine Reserves and then college.
I'm not getting younger and he's at the age that he gets faster every time we ride.
I HAVE TO WIN!
He's a bus-boy and I've got a little money in the bank. I'm buying the win, so to speak....

Thanks for all the input.

Never mind the forks, you really put Cherry Coke in your Camelback?

Send in your entry when it opens and buy his when you get there so that he starts 2 or 300 riders behind you. He has to eat more dust, pass a bunch of slower riders and you have the advantage.

Oh, yeah: Cherry Coke rules! As long as its not on the goggles...
Nothing cuts the dust in the throat better or picks me up like I need picked up 3.5 hours in.
Carbonation, sugar, and caffeine. Good stuff!

Next year I think I'll dissolve a couple of Tylenol in it...

I've thought of that. But when I beat him I can't leave him with an excuse like me getting a head start.
