Hello guys!

Now home from the biggest MX race in the world,Gotland Grand National.
This year 2232 racers.

DNF,can you belive it? :shock:  :shock:
 
Got a nice start in my class with 823 racers,just one kick and away.
Laped at 100th after 35min,everything felt good and going for next lap with more free space from the others.
But do you know what,a guy slipp with his d**n H...a and puncture my front wheel with his footpeg,me limping back to service 5 miles away.
I said a few words in bad "language" :evil: , and then helped my other teammates with there pitstops.

2 months with preparation and traning over after 45min of race:roll:  :roll:  :cry:

Here is some pic?s anyway from start and in race. :D
(more in my gallery)

//A very disapointed doordie.
Iceroad champion 2006,still 2007,even 2008 without a single race!

Doodie,
  That's the longest starting line I have seen.  I would think a holeshot would be failry important. Yikes! Cam.

LOL! Yeah, like so important that if you are not in the lead you'd get smashed by about 500 bikes. :-/ I bet it is not a cool deal to wreak at the gate!!! Wow! I wish the states had something like that!!! All we have here on the east of the US is small town motocross and arenacross. Having done both, I don't care much for it and would rather just ride. But, wow! 500 people looks like fun!
