As far as we were concerned, making the 16 was all we needed. Winning anything after that was gravy! What did you throw down for money on your race?

I wish I could have been there. I had to work both Friday and Saturday even though I asked for the days off. Ryan gets major props for making the final 8. It was funny when Jason and Ryan were talking about what they'd do if they won the event. Then, Ryan goes and makes the final 8.

From what I've been told he threw down $500 on each race. He won the first giving him $1500. Then, lost the second by getting treed leaving him with a $1000. Which is absolutely nothing to complain about.
