They're off. I come out conservative avoiding traffic and slowly working my way toward the rail. It's 1 and 3/16 theres no rush just let em settle in. Into the first turn now and every looks good. Coming outta the turn now I give em a slight nudge and he responds and slowly starts to work his way toward the front. Halfway down the back I ask a bit more and again he responds and now I have the leaders in sight as we head into the turn for home. To this point it has been an incident free race, no bumps, brushes or banging of any kind. Heading outta the turn and into the stretch I've now picked off everyone but the leader and i've got the speed and plenty in the tank. This race is mine... uh oh wait somethings wrong he's slowing down 3, no 4 speed clicks. Has he thrown a shoe, has he been shot, poisoned, what is it? Oh yea he's 38-1 what was I thinking.
Don't ya hate it when that happens. AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
