SDDRL # 35 “The Stand”

November 13, 2011. The crew met up for another SDDRL (San Diego downhill racing league) Outlaw race. The race was scheduled to start at 12 with about 30 minutes of practice but these things are never on time. Over an hour later after everyone showed up the we caravaned to the hill and started racing right away.

The hill was a steep drop which flattened out for about 100 ft then dropped again to the finish line. The radar guns had the open riders topped out at 48 m.p.h and the groms topped out at 43 m.p.h according to a radar gun at the bottom of the hill.

Heats were run one after the other and the actual race part didn’t take too much time. The racing was close with tight packs and some close finishes. We ran the final heat 10 minutes before San Diego’s finest showed up to let us know we were not welcome back ever.

We then moved to another hill to BBQ and do the podium. Our new police officer friends showed up again to our new location kicking us out, this time off of a public street. So we were able to complete the race minutes before the cops came.

After our first BBQ was shut down we moved it to the bottom of a long driveway belonging to friends of SDDRL. The driveway known as Hamburger Hill featured several hairpin turns, leading up to a few enormous houses at the top. This hill was rad and had a super gnarly off camber left hairpin turn near the bottom.
