Tuesday, May 5 Race Results

My friend Joe Fineman and me at the Dunc Gray velofrome in Sydney, October 2008

Hours before his crash on the track April 4 Joe Fineman stopped by my house to drop off some Clif Bars to be awarded at these Tuesday night races. He also arranged for some Peet’s gift certificates. Joe has been a driving force behind the track sponsorship for years! Thank you Joe! Thank you Clif Bar and Peet’s.

If you haven’t already done so, please drop Joe a line onto his blog www.joefineman/blogspot.com Sandy is reading every note to Joe as he regains his strength. This was a very serious accident and we need to look out for each other.

What rain? We enjoyed warm weather and some great racing. Another $400 was raised for the track! ($1,020 in 3 races)

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.

Top two riders with an even number of points scored a brownie…
