Jesus, both of them snapped? 
Holy ----, what kind of axles were they? Time for a stage 5 upgrade.

That sucks you couldn't get at least a few runs in. 
Jeff called me as you were leaving because he was wondering if I was down there today, I figured since it rained all weekend it would be raining today, but I guess not. I have been checking the weather everyday this week too and it said rain.
I ended up driving home from portland and back to woodburn, I got there a little before 3pm and since they normally close around 5pm I thought I could get a few runs in, but everybody was packed up and gone.

how many good runs have you gotten.
where you live, is it year round racing or is the race season about to fall off...
