Hello to the ultimate category

With today's victory at snsr, I have enough points to upgrade to the 3s. I still plan to race through San dimas as a 4 though. Here I come

Oh yeah, wr, I took a page from your playbook and went with 1k to go and held everyone off

Congrats. It's about time you leave those poor 4s alone and let them get some wins.

Congrats man!

I won't be able to upgrade for atleast another year unless I do really well in all the races I enter between now and may because I'm going abroad this summer.

My strength is coming along wonderfully though. It's great to see yourself improve isn't it?

That's great! You've put a lot of hard work in, now you can "enjoy" the fruits of your labor
Seriously, good luck, let us in on some of your race reports!

Congrats, that was a hard race. Come up to room 504, we have more beer. We raced stupid, but had fun keeping it fast.

Report is on my blog. I'm too tired to try to summarize it here, but it's not very long, and has some pictures. I'm working on being more concise
