:Interestingly, a few racers introduced themselves as original Kickstarter backers, still loving their lights.
:Martin covered 514.8 miles at 21.6mph average for 23 hours 56 minutes. An early hours surge in daylight by one conventional and one recumbent rider left Martin in third place by about 20 minutes. After full darkness took hold, Martin gained time each lap til he took the lead around 3:00AM, and held on through the daylight for the win. Second place was 510 miles in 23 hours 50 minutes at 21.4mph, less than three miles back. That's an average difference of only 220 yards per hour over 24 hours.
:Oculus was the official onsite lighting sales and support for the World Championships. As a result of the event and glowing praise from an increasing number of well known distance racers and RAAM winners, Oculus will be the official headlight of RAAM and its related races for 2018.
