There was better light down low, when the fog lifted just long enough to get the race off. It must have been nerve-wracking to stand around the start waiting to see if conditions would improve enough - after a 90 minute wait - to send people out of the start gate.

For me, the bump at the bottom provided a lot of entertainment, but the camera sometimes lost racers as they approached the bump. Shot from below, only the tops of racers were visible as they got close to the jump. Which meant the camera had only a few hundredths to acquire and lock on racers when they passed between the red panels on the jump and launched off the edge. Sometimes the camera did not lock on the racers, and picked up the spruce trees in the background. That resulted in some serious focus problems. But when it all worked, the result was good action.
