could never make the pass. At one point
on the white-flag lap, Krause fell about
five bike lengths back because of tappers. Fortunately for Krause, Musgrave
had his own problem with lappers.
"Over in the mud bogs, there are
only a few lines and if people get stuck
in them, you're screwed," Krause said.
"Willy got bottled up just like I did in
the Vet race and I just went around him.
Then it was my tum to battle lappers."
Lapped traffic was not the only thing
Krause had to battle. Musgrave caught
up to Krause's rear wheel before the
checkered flag, but this time Krause
used the lappers to his advantage by
putting other riders between him and
Musgrave. At the finish, it was Krause
taking the checkered flag.
uWe're even now/' exclaimed
Krause, who had nothing but praise for'
the race. "The course was awesome,
great traction for Carlsbad. There was
traction everywhere."
Most riders had the same reaction as
Krause. Even the guy dressed as Santa
Claus, who looked like someone had
used his beard for traction, was all jollies.
