Recap... sorta

Gah! I think that mentioning the heat will soon be like telling someone that they have no hair, when they don't. Obvious and unnecessary. Welcome to the midwest! It's what we live in. So okay, another hot one (can you tell that the heat is annoying me?)
We yet again had an excellent turnout of 23, despite the nasty haze that hangs over Mr. Bumpy.

Caitlin Silovsky officially gets the furthest traveled award for this season, as she journeyed from Topeka Kansas just to race with the lot of us. She then made the trek home after a pretty tough night - a 4+ hour drive! Thanks for coming out Caitlin!

Many familiar faces joined us for the first time this year including Devlin McDonough, Nick Chevalley, and Dave Smith. Kate Hrubes jumped back in before heading off to Colorado next week and Ms. Soli is back and stronger than ever!

Missin some folks who are trading weeks with the Dirt Crit series! Too bad two awesome types of racing are happening on the same night. For some pretty solid hilarious updates on Dirt Crittdom check out the Team Seagal Blog.


We had some fun races to watch like when Andrew Petty sprinted from the line in the scratch race and staved off the field taking first place in the A's! Dave Stone had some solid wins and I am convinced that the points race is his event. During the C scratch race Todd Nowlin had a very good lead and held it and held it until Caitlin's legs exploded with power and she came from half a lap back to take the win.
I usually know its especially good when I have trouble staying off the track during a race. When things get really good I tend to make my way as close as possible to the edge of the track, as if it's going to help me see better. Last night was like that.


Thanks as always to those who get there early, stay late, and do what they can to help out!

Keep an eye out on the Facebook jazz to get info about our 50th anniversary party!
