Maybe he has been reading Ecomodder to learn some "tricky riding".
Alan mentioned to me that the weather and road conditions were pretty ideal for the competition. Calm winds, gentle rolling roads, and only about 10 miles of freeway at 70-75 mph. The competition in Wendover, NV will be different with higher altitude, most likely winds, and higher speeds so I'm sure everyone's mileage will suffer somewhat.

Alan said that Craig Vetter will be adding the Ohio competition to his web page. www.craigvetter.com
