Tuesday, May 27 Race Results

Your enjoyment at the track depends on your expectations and the experience that you are having out there. Michael’s Friday Night promoting is HOT right now because he is offering a great experience and a lot of fun. Tuesday night racing provides an opportunity to practice your endurance racing in a safe and friendly environment. But, let there be no bones about it, track racing is hard work. Once again it was my pleasure to watch people suffer out there, er, I mean it is always great to watch riders attack and sprint for points, and chocolate brownie primes. Thank you all for supporting this series.

Next Tuesday and for every Tuesday in June we return to scratch racing. Please check out the rulebook when you get a chance so that you understand why a rider is holding you up at the rail with two to go ;-)

Yet another thank you goes out to Marc and Jen for the Chocolate Brownie primes and to Dash, Amy and Liam for flipping lap cards. Marc also typed up the race results so a big thank you for doing that Marc!

We can always use more volunteers at the track so please let us know how you can help!

It is such a pleasure for me to watch riders improve. Most improvements with cycling come in small doses and I would like to pass along a “congratulations” to all the riders that have improved over this series. Whether you’ve improved your sprint speed, your relaxing in the pack, your sense of timing or all of them this promoter has enjoyed the show. As we get closer to the big races of the summer I wish you all continued success, and luck in your perseverance towards your goals

Tuesday, May 6 Race Results

Points Races are so much fun to watch. I had a blast out there tonight. Not only was there great racing but there were also some great efforts, including some notable rider improvements.

Eleven women showed up and ruled the first race of the night. Wow, was that fun to watch as Beth, Sabine, Alison and the gang played out their tactics. First class racing. Beth raced two Cs events and then placed 5th in the Bs event to fill her night. Sabine rode an impressively tactical race. Congrats to all.

The Bs racing is almost always the most competitive event of the evening. Check out how many riders scored points and were in contention! Very competitive.

And, finally the As race had a competitive event. I say this because the As usually have a few ringers show up and dominate, but not tonight as there was a full field of ringers. Yes, we are off to the races for 2008!

Thank you to Gerry for the Aussie Pies and to Marc and Jen for the Chocolate Brownies, which made for some great sprinting!
