Last stop on the Team Vesrah Brakes tour for 2009 would be the 12 hour of Blue Mounds race. This years race coarse proved vastly different than in years past. The coarse had some really excellent smooth rolling trails...lots of deadly ups still, with much fewer deadly jagged rocks lining the coarse, some, not tons.
With a good showing at Blue Mounds Team Vesrah Brakes energized by Roaring Lion could win their 3rd Championship in a row.
The conditions at the onset of the race were a bit damp and muddy. No one better in the mud and congestion of the start than Kenny Melville. Ken flew through the first lap keepin it on two wheels to come around in 2nd place overall. Team No Worries Mon had about a 2 minute 30 second lead. Mike Laney next to go slopped around and gained a minute on the overall leaders. Now just a minute and half down to the overall lead Team Vesrah Brakes sent Jason Ano out on coarse. Jason absolutely blistered the coarse. The overall lead was snatched during his ride as Team No Worries Mon could not match Team Vesrah Brakes energy levels. That would be a big thank you to Roaring Lion Energy Drinks. Jason handed Mark McCrimmon a huge advantage for his lap. Mark also flew through his first lap furthering Team Vesrah Brakes lead. As the day went on conditions dried up. This just played into Team Vesrah Brakes hand as lap times came down for the entire team. The lead just grew the rest of the day.
Team Vesrah Brakes ended up 2 laps or about 2 hours ahead of 2nd as they went on to win their 4th race of the year and capture their 3rd 12 Hour Open Team Championship in as many years.
Team Vesrah Brakes would like to acknowledge some very important people in our lives.
