I vaguely remember partying at his place in CO. after the '03 NORBA National Champs. It was all a blur but I think there was a last call beer run across state lines involved....

Back in the day I did a race in Sqaw Valley where I started at 40# of tire pressure and double flatted, went to 50# and double flatted and then raced on 60# successfully. They had a timing gun on the fastest bit of the fire road and In my memory I did 54 and Miles did 63. Ever since I've wondered if that was MPH or KPH. With him saying 60+ at Mammoth I now choose to believe that it was MPH on 60# IRC's braking hard into the single track that led to the finish.

In my entire racing career I never didn't do a full lap unless I crashed or had a mechanical. Why waste practice time? Do runs son! I never got to do an endurance DH race, but I think I would have done well.
