Tuesday, August 12 Race Results

31 starters for the A-B 84 lap points race! Super 70 degree temps.

The beauty of A, B, C racing is that you seed yourself. Want a great workout? Jump into the As and try to win. Slap on bigger gears or lighten em up. Work on skills instead of fitness. So many possibilities with the Tuesday night races.

Points Racing continues at the track through September 23 (excluding September 2 for masters track nationals). Five Tuesdays remain in 2008. Come out and race under the lights (something that neither Oakland or San Jose twilights have!)

Brownie primes were provided once again by Dash, Jen and Marc. Thank you!
