I watched your run many times and if you had hooked up you would have put more than 12 feet on me.

It surely felt good turning 4k, but with too much pressure I couldn't get it to bite and over powered it. Hoping to not have that issue saturday and be able to stay a little closer than 50' from the winner

Wow, that sucks! I don't think I have ever seen both ends of the shaft break before, that must have taken some real skill
