Tuesday, September 23 Race Results (final 2008 races)

As we close out the 2008 Tuesday night track racing series I wanted to thank everyone that helped to make this series a success.

Twenty nine weeks ago we started this routine. Three weeks of open track training, twenty two weeks of racing, one rain out, one brown out, and a week off for masters track nationals.

901 riders helped to raise $7874 for our velodrome. 37% of the riders self selected the C category, 40% went into the Bs races and 23% came out for the A races. 17 percent of the riders were female, and 5% of the turnout was of junior age (and juniors always race for free). A huge heaping thank you goes out to Ella Benkowski, Jen Coler and Marc Franklin for the brownie and cookie primes. Thank you also to the SJBC for the nice bottle of wine!

I hope folks take the time to provide their feedback so that we can continue to improve this series.
