Everyone of these endurance events usually turns on the misfortunes of one team while others just keep rolling without issues. The Team of Jimi Mortenson, Ken Dorst and Ian Anderson were locked in a war with the New Belgium Brewery gang for much of the race with many lead changes when the "Dorst Disaster" took place. A broken chain near the top of the climb which he fixed once, only to see it pop again and put the team 17 minutes back of their competition. Jimi Mortenson, who had the fastest lap of the day, singlehandedly tried to bring the team back with just five laps left, but they fell 7 minutes short. Good racin out dere boyz..The Anderson's wait for Dad to arrive..
