The rear brake is a little weak, but at my speeds it isn't needed too much (LOL). Prairie City has nothing but old mine tailings, so tons of rocks, and there were several times where it got a little hairy yesterday where a little more suspension might have been nice, but it did work. Only time I crashed was the sighting lap where I slid out in a sand/gravel/clay turn. Welcome to Prairie City!!!
