Dead In Brian Head

Roger and Vanessa rolled in to Brain Head, Utah today for the final stop on the NMBS race schedule....and doubled the population there. With no vendors except KENDA there, and a only a small selection of team trucks/trailers, it looked more like a ghost town than the final race of the biggest series in North America. I hope you don't need any help with that 1000 dollar FOX fork you bought, because this weekend, you are on your own. Going to these races is very expensive, and for those who have to pay for everything...the chance to get your unobtanium suspension/drivetrain stuff worked on is the only silver lining to the cash-cloud.
Thank GOD Jim still brings the KENDA truck and trailer to the events. Without Jim, the trip is a sure waste of time. Tom Wehe and Roger are currently working with Jim in the trailer while Vanessa pre-rides the 11,500' race course. It's a Friday at 4 o'clock, and that place SHOULD be awash with bikes and people and industry trappings. It's not, and it wasn't last year either. The people in the now extinct village had no idea that race was even coming to town last year. So.....with such a poor turnout and NO industry support, what next? Do wait for a huge and faceless team to buy their way in? Do we just scrap the whole thing and start over? Well, I for one am going to grill up a steak tonight and have some beers. But after this year, we are going to see some HUGE freaking changes in the NMBS series...or it will die. Which will it be?
