Race Time. Lap 1: Me and Wes lead the field by a descent gap, but Wes puts about 20 seconds into me by the transition. Each following lap had more or less the same result. The real VisitPA team kept putting small chunks of time into us that just weren't able to pull back. Kyle put in the fastest laps of our team, and the race, but everytime he did we blew it and let slip away just a little bit more. In the end, we were about 5 minutes back and had 16 laps, and second overall. But......the handicap system that was put in place to level the playing field for the lower catergory teams put us in 6th place, officially. VisitPA was barely able to get in a 17th lap, coming into the transition a mere 20 seconds before the cut-off time. That lap made the difference with the point system the way it was, and they took the Team Cup once again.
Losing the actual race wasn't really that disapointing. The Team Relay has a real laid back setting to it, the outcome of the race isn't really the point. Sure, your there to race as hard as you can and try to come out to top, but it's more about having fun with the people that you spend every week trying to crush on the race course. What was devasting, however, was that the Best Costume Award, which we clearly secured at our time of arrival, was given away to another team. What?!?! The winning team wore corduroys and flannel shirts. That was soo last year.... If the award was given based on a popular vote, we most definitly would have been the undisputed champions, and in my book, we are anyway. It's a good thing there was a Taco Bell nearby to ease some of the pain...
Wes x2. Skin tones match almost perfectly...
The real Dieter covered up this time, normally he's just as scantily clad as his alias but he's always just as suave...The amount of hair glued onto Matt's legs represents only a fraction of what is actually on Rob's body, unfortunately it's all that we had left after Brandon cut in his mullet
I wonder what we'll come up with for next year....

It was best pit not best costume. The pit most likely won because they also brought the killer funk/reggea band along. And I wasn't wearing a flannel it was a tie dye. It wasn't my team that won as I was the only one on my team not in a kit.
Naw...you guys definitely won the best costume award--most creative, best executed. Dang, and I figured you guys were just some stupid country boys too nervous and serious to break out that sort funk! good job.
THE REAL DIETER
Matt looks board. and is brandon, i think that's him, trying to get onto slipstream with the handlebar facial hair?
