Escapee.. Posted September 5, 2017 Share That's actually a good question. So if you usually made say, B or C batch for the long, would you still seed B or C in the short or would you be in A? I would assume if you usually race long then you should jump a group or 2 when you go do the shorter distance. Ja you usually move up a bit if i remember correctly Long Wheel Base 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
s14phoenix Posted September 5, 2017 Share It depends how many people are seeded in front of you. On most of these races - once the batch is full that's where the next one starts... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Job Posted September 5, 2017 Share not fun alone that's for sure...did a solo ride Saturday and the wind wasn't pleasant to say the least.I think I should take my normal and deep section wheels and decide in the morning when I get there on which pair will be best for the day. I need to do well in this race to improve my 947 seeding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
