Or crash fest 2008.  I made it down to Mears Park tonight to watch the men’s race and oh what a race it was.  I was at the corner of 5th and Broadway, right outside of MarketHouse.  I thought that might be a good corner to watch – it was if you like crashes.  It seemed like every time the pack came by, someone slipped up on the wet street.  The race was eventually called off – just not the right conditions for racing.  After nearly a dozen crashes and an official dumping his motorcycle, I’m pretty sure they made the right call.  The prize money was all donated to the Children’s Hospital, which I thought was pretty cool.  After the race was called off, I walked out to the spot where everone was going down.  IT WAS SLICK!  I almost wonder if someone spilled something there, very strange.

Here's a few links to some vides I took with the camera as well
