No, I say 4 laps. Or maybe it's just that I'm more of a distance rider than a sprinter.

I'm more of a "kicking Yoshi's ass" rider, so it doesn't matter how many laps we do at all.

There were two or three crashes last night, and the race ended up being cancelled. I saw Dan go down, and someone crash into him. Apparently that was Colin and someone then proceeded to crash into him. There was also another crash earlier that I did not see, but it may have involved a non-racer. I know that Dan and Colin are both [relatively] ok, but I don't know about the rest.
