It IS pretty cool—my last race I took turns attacking with a teammate. about 6 attacks each in 35 laps, probably stayed off the front most of a lap each time. had I been looking at the lap cards I might have gotten away for good (or so they said) but I was just so thrilled about actually doing something and breaking legs that I forgot about the lap cards. I let the pack catch back on with 1 lap to go. 'doh.

the race before that I was pulling when a train of 3 teammates went by. just managed to jump on and we stayed away for a little while, but we stuck together and the rest of the race was about trying to break us apart.

jeez, now I'm excited to race again.
