I looked at mine to see if I missed a turn too.

Anyone who knows Norm or Utah would know that if either did infact cut the course it was not intentional. No need to throw any accusations around or demand they fess up, I'm sure this will get resolved shortly.
Looking at the layout in the GPS file it seems like this would have been an easy piece of course to miss if it wasn't marked well enough- you wouldn't hit wrong way arrows.

How does that make it obvious he cut the course?
Ive been in many lap-based races in which the guys doing the team category finish their laps minutes ahead of the top solo elite riders who are doing the full distance race and have adjusted their pacing accordingly.

I think there was a better way of handling this... maybe by PMing Norm directly or contacting DH.
I know there were a few spots where I almost went off course. Like at the last turn, the arrows were gone by the time I got there. I almost went right until I realized there was no trail there. Shit happens, and clearly it was a mistake. Sucks to hear

Because I knew guys that came in after him that f*ckin' motor no matter how many laps they're doing. Everyone has their own opinion and to mine it was pretty obvious. No biggie, I could actually care less. If it meant that much to me I would have said something yesterday at the race.

I think they won by like half an hour no? How long was that section? 1/4 mile? Sucks that it happened. When I went out to take my pictures I got to an intersection after the left out of Major Mike's and I had no idea where to go. I found the sign had fallen over in the weeds and I put it back up the best I could. I was nervous the whole time that it had fallen over again. I couldn't get the post into the ground for the life of me. I was banging on it with a rock for like 5 minutes. Stewart is so hard to mark, there are like 9 billion intersections.

We at Darkhorse were aware of this.
Norm was honest with us and showed me his gps.
as it was he was off the front from the start and the gap that they built was much larger than the short piece he missed.
I made the call and let their result stand.
no one needs to fess up or do anything different.
it was my call and I made it.

i don't know the facts, but i assume if norm and utah are in the wrong, i am 110% confident they will make it right. i'm sure they're deep in txtversation right now, furiously tapping pudgy fingers on small, rectangular devices.
dude, don't say you don't care. you do. it's blatantly obvious in this post.

But Mike, I do think the $75,000 prize money needs to be pulled back, as well as the National Stewart Championship standings adjusted. They would have only won by 20 minutes, and that's just way too thin of a margin for error in the grand scheme of things, this being the Rio 2016 qualifier and all that.
Thanks for the post Mike. It's appreciated.
Thanks also to those of you who stood up for me/us and not assuming the worst. It's appreciated tremendously.
The rest of you who have doubts about my honesty will have voodoo dolls constructed in your honor. Please send me a locket of your hair and a saliva sample.
Thanks.
