It's anybody's race. If they can win it, we can win it. It's that close. One mistake in a turn can cost you the race.

As the race evolved, we wanted to highlight all the great miles of trails in Durango. As more and more people came to us and said, 'Hey, we want to do both races,' we decided to create the special awards and went so far as to change the name of the race. We're really marketing the double this year.

There may be something. But I'm not aware of another race that's still pending out there.

I see this as the gun that kind of starts the race each year. I look at our mission statement and constitution as the year goes by, and a lot of what I do during the year is directly related to what's written there.

You're going to have to go race those guys and beat them if you're going to get in the Chase and win races.

We were up for this race weeks over 2005.
