What another great night of racing it was. I have a little
more of a recap from the last track night so here it goes. All results are at the bottom of this post (all that I have anyway).
There were a total of 31 riders, eleven of which was their
first time out at the track this season. There were two new juniors but Eva
Berger was absent because her school was singing the National Anthem at the
ballpark that evening. We did have two junior-only races during the evening.
There were four women racing.
Hey, During the time before we race the track always needs
at least some sweeping and remember I offer $5.00 off of registration fee to
those willing to work a broom for about fifteen minutes. There is no
requirement to sweep but if the track is not sweep before each night then there
will be more mishaps (flat, etc.). Please help out with the sweeping and more importantly
if there is someone on the track with a broom please give him or her some
courtesy and safety and do not ride hard or fast right by them. I really need
some improvement with this issue, the alternative is that the track will be
closed to all riders until all of the sweeping is done. Warning, I might just
employ this at some time especially if the track is such a mess as it was on
the 17th.
The highlights of the evening were mainly in round two. In
the A snowball race Kevin Weyman took a flyer and quickly collected the first
three sprints and held on for second place on the next sprint. That effort
awarded him enough points (9) to hold on to fifth place overall in the race.
Zachery Slavens followed Kevin’s example in the B’s snowball and did the same
but one better, he took all four of the first sprints (10) and he too held onto
fifth overall. Both were edged out of fourth place in the round due to placing
on the final lap. Good job gentlemen!
The Women’s points race was together for all of the sprints.
No rider went up or down a lap. It was quite a different story in the Men’s A
points race. That event blew wide apart and was a bit of a challenge to score.
I apologize to my officials; I should have given you more assistance in judging
that race. I will do so in the future any time we run another points race.
There was not enough time to run points races for the B’s
and the C’s and each deserve their own event so combining them was not fair
either. So we came to a decision to run Miss & Out races for the last two
groups. In the B event Dave Stone took the flyer but the group worked to chase
him down while still trying not to get eliminated them. In the C Miss & Out
Kurt Schenk showed four riders exactly how to do it. He was well behind in each
of the first four laps only to make sure he was not boxed in and accelerated
just enough not to be the last rear wheel to cross the line. Textbook execution!
We did get a little scare during the junior chariot race.
Maddie was riding faster and faster as the night went on. She had the save of
the night in turn three when she lost her footing on the flat pedals but she
did not crash. She stayed upright, finished the race and handled the incident
like a seasoned track rider. Good job girl.
That is about it for my recap. Keep posted about next week
though, the extended forecast states there is a chance of thunderstorms on the
31st. As always I will broadcast track conditions when the weather
threatens through the usual outlets (stlbiking forum and twitter). Also I need
to be in Chicago mid-day on Friday for three days of racing up north. Thanks as
always to everyone who is involved, to all of those who lend a hand with
running things, to my officials doing their best to score, and to everyone else
interested no matter how little that is.
