Short track mountain bike racing consists of a shorter total amount of time than the typical cross country races. This series is similar to road crits, where races mass start and a clock begins ticking. Depending on what category, races will last either 40, 30, or 20minutes then there will be a bell which signals 1 lap left. My race was 40+ 1 lap.
I put a 36x16 and rigid fork on my bike (pictures to come) and set off to give it my all and have a blast.
Bob Arnold of DRJ racing posted a really great video of the race. I'm the guy in the black Team Seagal kit coming by at ~2:30.

Ralph and his crew have done an incredible job with this event. It was a ton of fun and very well organized. Thanks so much to everyone who helped! I can't wait to do more!

Way to kill it out there last night!
Nice pass at 5:20. Looks like so much fun.
Thanks guys!
Mark, I definitely burned some matches with that pass...Had a big gap after the turns, but as you saw got caught and bobbled at a terrible time (coming out of the creek). No way I was following Ploch after that. I wish the footage of the last lap was up, it was amazingly fun racing!
Can't wait till thursday once again - i'l see ya there? I'll bring the beers?
Wow! I'm impressed.
