2005 Race Results

Here are my results for 2005. I had some aggressive goals and although I did not meet them all I feel generally pretty good about my season. I ended up with over 350 hours which is about 100 more than I had in 2004. Highlights of the season were 12 Hours of Razorback, TransIowa, 24 Hours of Big Bear, Millcreek Crit, and Blossom Crit. Also really enjoyed the progress the team (www.snakebiteracing.com) made in our team strategy and tactics. We should be ready for bigger results next year.
