Today Randy got a 6th in his points race. Rich qualified third in his sprints but had a lot of back pain so was going to scratch but decided go ahead and ride for the team points (you know we have won 7 of the 8 last national team championship titles!!). he got points with his fourth place finish. The big fun of the evening was watching Deborah Kidd (our Hammer from NM) attack in the 30-39 points race (the one I chose to skip this year) with 20 (of 30) laps to go and she basically TT'ed off the front until the final two laps. These other chicks just could not or did not organize and Deb pushed her 93 inch gear around to win the race. Pretty cool for her 7th race ever on the track! This year they broke down the womens sprints into 5 yr categories (usually they stick all of the 40+ women together) which put Jan in 3rd for her age group. The big excitement was watching Donna Smith take Annette Hanson in two rides for the 45+ sprint. You really have to know these folks to get it, but for those who do, it was very cool!
I'll post some pix tomorrow. Time for bed here. I gotta sprint tomorrow.
