If anybody from Asheville/Hendo needs a ride, drop me a line.

I can't believe it's been 7 years since we hosted that first race. How much of the original course is still there?
Only you Randy! 
How much rain did y'all get on Friday? Headed down now and wondering what we're in for

One of the best ran Clemson Races in a long time! Timing was spot on and having printed times up before our second run was awesome. Great day on the Hill with everyone that came out. Conditions could have not been better once race time came around. Super tacky.
Once again great job to those that helped put the race on!

+1 I agree, one of the best run DH races I have ever been too! Even the guys at the timing tent let racers ask their times without even a hint of being frustrated with being bugged.
And the weather was totally unpredictable - blue sky's and short sleeve temps and the trail at race time was perfect. I noticed two or three guys going up and down the trail several times with shovels and blowers making sure it was in top shape.
Here's a couple of crappy pics...& vids...( I don't have waterdogs money for a real camera!)

It was nothing like it was in 2011. It was a bit greasy in the morning, but it didn't last. To my total suprise that place dried out real quick and conditions were just about perfect when race runs started.
Hats off to Richard, Garth, and all the crew I don't know first names of (too many to keep straight) for a great event. Pics coming soon. Here's one of Cecil and my wife that I like:

Hopefully the CFR guys dont mind me posting this stuff.
Thanks for posting the results Jay, I've been looking for them. What a great day it turned out to be after all that rain. Thanks to everyone involved, including the Clemson Freeride Club trail builders who have moved on....
Had a lot of fun on course & glad I came. Foot is throbbing after pushing up so many times (ongoing injury). But real glad I didn't let the weather hold me off. Ate crap on the wall first practice but that was it. Will have to get that camel hump thing next time if it makes it.
I gotta say the best part was that you guys made a great start ramp! Loved that thing. Starting on flat ground always stunk.

Absolutely loved the weekend. But no one told me to bring my hardtail. This track isn't nearly as fun lugging 10" of soft travel around
For giggles one year, I raced my wife's 13" Specialized $300 Hot Rock hardtail bone stock. I finished 8th in Expert. Clemson makes racing fun and affordable for anybody.

Bow down to Max
Where's the picture of Max's chain guide. Now that was awesome.
I didn't get a shot. I saw the first iteration, the zip tie. Did it change?
