Fresh Ink for the winners. The rules are simple: show up. Race. Have a good time. If you win, you are not officially recognized as the winner until you get inked. Failure to step up will relegate you to first loser status vs life long bragging rights. Big thanks to Papa Tong for the on sight art work application.
This event was capped at 600. But that didn't mean an automatic entry into the SSCXWC. Oh no. To make the cut, riders had to qualify in a time trial format with only the top seven male and female riders from each heat securing an arm bracelet entry into the main event. Fail to qualify, though, and not all was lost.
Racers had 3 other ways to qualify: this is the "hole shot challenge": a dead sprint across a boggy infield in an effort to be the first one to knock over the traffic cone.
