Well it's over, the first series has come to a close, and not without an exciting finale. And early move on the first course Saw the 3rd place Brian move into the temporary season lead, He managed to hold it through the second course with a sweet move to clear the finish gate and move to the Bonus. Going into the Finale course it was Brian, Seth, and Me in the pending series order. The entire season was literary coming down to the last course and only a 10 point spread covered the top 3.
The Hill Climb was fair but tough, a few unique changes to the flow saw interesting lines and some awesome feats of maneuverability and luck.
Dale Monroe was an early good runner making it to the 6th of 10 gates before pointing out,
Colton made it to Gate 8. and had a fine season for only 7 years old. (I think, Seth gave a few conflicting ages)
Next was Seth, to gate 5 with only 1 reverse and the alternate...then a gate....a few more reverses and a couple of edge of the seat moments... then the first to finish with only seconds to spare.
Then it was my turn through the alternate, and passed gate 5 clean, Gate 6 was tricky and resulted in a few reverses and a reposition going to 7, then on to finish all 10 with a few more reverses and again only a few seconds left on the clock. I was the only one to progess successfully through all gates.
Then Brian with a small lead for the day and series only needed to do as well as Seth and I... to gate 5 fairly clean then an excellent move through 5....and the rest went to crap, upside down gate on 6, a reposition to 7, then a gate on 9, he did finish and was only the third driver past 6 on on to completion
