This past weekend while everyone was all Lanced out in Leadville, there was another battle for the ages going on in Gunnison at the 24 of Gunny's Rage in the Sage. Mafia Racing put together a four man monster team that was contested by Team Beaver Hammer from the Vail Valley. The racing was tight as each team threw body blow after body blow at each other until midnight. The lead changed hands several times during the first 12 hours and this was highlighted by Jake Wells crushing the old course record time laying down a 50 minute and change lap during the day. Jdubber also had the fastest night lap at 54 minutes and change. Two flats during the night laps, which were time consuming to repair cost Mafia the overall title as Thompson and Nota helped lead the Hammer team to victory...good racing and good times. On the solo scene locally Kerry White ripped around the super fun course to a podium finish in the solo women's cat. This by far was the best 24 Hour venue, course and scene I've been around. The folks at KOA hooked everyone up with killer food and accomodations. If I had one 24 hour gig to do, it would be this one. Well done Gunnison.
