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!
