Event comments:

It is an interesting race based on it size. It has the potential to keep growing but seems to be a small race every year. Even though it is small, it has great raffle prizes and a big support staff. I was surprised to see for the size, how well it was put on. The only thing was the traffic on the course. I almost got hit twice due to stupid drivers not paying attention to the cops directing traffic.
