You sure that wasn't the descent
after Monument Valley, heading into Mexican Hat? That's where I was over 70mph? I know of several other racers who were in that speed range on that descent.
When I went down Wolf Creek it was dark and there was melting snow that I wasn't sure had turned into ice or not so I didn't get much over the mid 60's on that descent.
