Show Vernal Express Wednesday, August 7, 1996 19 Dinotrax- continued from page 18 Most riders loved the location and layout of the course, but battled the conditions, mainly due to a hard rain which washed lots of rock and debri onto the course the night before be-fore the race. Despite the challenging conditions, condi-tions, nobody in any of the categories cate-gories was seriously injured, although al-though there were plenty of rashes, bumps and bruises displayed when the race had ended. Even these were displayed as badges of courage rather than pain. As for the race itself, pro rider Cris Fox out of Salt Lake City garnered gar-nered first place honors with a time of 1 :47.38 over the 27 mile course. Vernal riders had their best and most numerous showing yet. Six local lo-cal riders competed in this year's race with Fallon having the best showing in the Master Men Beginner with a first place time of 1:49.38. Tom Pick had the next best finish with a time of 1:38.46, good for fifth in the Master Sport Men. Day Delahunt finished seventh in the same division despite three broken bro-ken chains during the race. Delahunt recorded a 1:52.12. Dean Sedlachek placed eighth in the Sport Men, 19-26 with a time of 1:28.39 while Dustin Pye placed 12th in the Sport Jr. Men 16-18 with a time of 1:33.25. Pye's time would have been quicker if he had not stopped to help another rider who had broken down and had no tools, consistent with the attitude of most riders competing. Cory Harrison placed 12th in the Sr. Beginner Men with a time of 2:07.44. The downhill race Sunday on Ute Mountain attracted a different breed of competitor. Most of these boyr (and girls) came equipped with full body armor and a "let it all hang out" attitude. Of course, that demeanor was for those watching. Inside, these racers are actually quite calculating and careful. Most if not all rode the single sin-gle track at least a couple times before be-fore their run, mapping out in their minds where the most tricky and dangerous sections were and how they would handle it when their turn came. Again the race featured many classes and ages of competitors. The winning pro time of 4:09.66, turned in by Fredrick Poulin out of Quebec, Canada, revealed an aver- Local rider Day Delahunt (left) passes a couple of factory riders who could not negotiate this technical part of the course. The bridge over Skull Creek followed a steep and rocky decline and then led to a steep and technical tech-nical section which gave many of the top riders not to mention everyone else fits! age speed of almost 30 miles an hour through the twisting, rocky and tree lined course. "I really enjoyed en-joyed the layout. It is very different from most if not all downhills I have raced on," the Canadian racer said, "the only part I don't like is having to walk back up the mountain moun-tain for my second run. In Canada and several U.S. courses, you ride the chair lifts back up to the top." Despite the Canadians dislike for walking, the majority consensus was again positive. "Ron (Lindley) does a great job of organizing and running an event. His races always come off without a hitch, including this one," one anonymous female downhiller said. In spite of the break-neck speeds and seemingly reckless abandon Of the competitors, competi-tors, nobody was seriously injured, another testament to good equipment equip-ment and good judgement. At the conclusion of both events, cash and merchandise were awarded award-ed the winners. Another successful Dinotrax Festival in the books.
