well, i raced the entire ixcr series in 2008 and had to run it for points. on a stock raptor 350. in the PM race. it was my first national i had ever ran. and really, the only thing to it were the creek crossings. those got really nasty on the 2nd lap. and i got stuck in i think every one of them lol. it was a little rough, but i honestly think there are other places that are just as rough. just my .02. i think people try to make the nationals sound a lot harder then what they really are. ----------
If anyone is interested, The Halloween 100 is running at Haspin Acres on Sunday Oct. 17th. This is a good opportunity to get a 100 mile race under your belt a week before the GNCC Ironman or 2 weeks before the MWXC Team Race. There are a number of Team Classes and Ironman Classes to participate in. Go to: haspinharescrambles.com for the details.
compared to some of the mwxc and ixcr races the ironman wasnt that bad just way more riders but when i went we went down ironman hill i didnt make it lastyear just watched but it should be down it again this year
