On one hand, I had a decent race and came 1st in my age group (out of 5 people cough cough). On the other hand some dude put a dent in my car when I was pulling out of the parking lot after lunch. You win some, lose some, I guess.

My poor baby :cry:. It hurts as much as the first time my rims ground on the sidewalk a year ago. But at least I could drive the car.

Well I finished between 25- 30% mind you. Lot of fast dudes and dudettes. just that the 24-29 M age group is horribly thin in competition :p.

Err...

I wouldnt be that sad if it was just some minor body work but I think the bumper lost some paint so I am not sure if that can be painted over or not?

I was going to dent your car while you were racing, but you finished better than I expected and so I had to hit you in the parking lot.

If the competition is similar, I think I might have to be repeat competitor at this race till I reach the age of 30 :D

Why only until 30? I rode my first race this year @ 33, I figure, I'll do it until it stops being FUN, and my bod can still tolerate it.
