Interested to hear more about this pic... they don't look like they are racing to me - too relaxed, sitting up looking around... I could be wrong.

In addition to a possible over-stand situation, I have seen the first pack around the top mark really heat it up as the leader heats up to defend and the rest heat up to attack.

But I still kinda feel like they're on vacation in that shot. <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" />
