Tuesday June 24 race results

Tuesday, June 24 Race Results

Training races are almost always interesting and Tuesday night racing was no exception. A relatively low turnout but all three categories were racing hard. I’d like to give a special nod of appreciation to Derek Dixon who has been commuting regularly from Sacramento to make this series, to stretch his legs and to earn, in the true sense of the word, his upgrade scratch. Way to go Derek!

12 year old Dylan Drummond continues to spin his little heart out. He and his father Glenn have been regulars at this series and both have improved their speed, skills and sprints.

Finally, if I get a Hi-Ball vote I’d have to submit Sabine Dukes as my top choice. She is also a regular of the Tuesday nights and has progressed from pack rider to aggressor/ attacker. Look out when she starts working on her sprint!

Tuesday, June 17 Race Results

James Badia put in an impressive effort around 15 laps to go in the final race leaving everyone in awe...Obree style, just out there battling the pain and everyone else watching his stuggle. He tried to put over a lap, but the battered field still had enough strength to fight for pride. We did have a single crash inthe B's, and it was the fruity kind with huge raspberries and strawberries, though it had nothing to do with Giant Strawberry rider Keith Miller. Glen K spent most of the night sweeping the apron and half hopeful each time a brownie prime was rung, that he might run through the finish line broom in hand to claim his own prime. I hope there was enough for him to get one.

Thanks to Brian Peterson for running the races, for Kelyn showing up for a celebrity appearance before AVC and for all the riders who turned cards and rung bells including Jen and Dash. Just one note on lapping/getting lapped, please think ahead. If you are down and suddenly riders are there, stay down... riders will go over. It's alwasy nice if lapped riders move up, just not at the last minute! And if you are lapping riders, please yell stay so that people know you're coming.
