Up the Road: This is the End, SoCalCross Finale

"This is the end..."

When those guitar chords kick in, after those vague sounds of whirling helicopter blades, and then Jim Morrison laments that "this is the end," I always think of Vietnam, or at least the Apocalypse Now version of Vietnam. What ever end, among the many theories, Morrison was yelling about is not the end that awaits up the road this weekend. This end is the finale of the 2023/24 SoCalCross Prestige Series which calls it a wrap out at Pierce College in Woodland Hills on Saturday and Sunday.

I took a peek at the current series standings and noticed that some of the category placings are not yet settled, meaning the competition in those races should be very finale-like, fast and tight from start to finish.
