Well everybody there are just two more weeks of official racing, this one and the next. I will be back next week. I am planning on holding practice nights on the 30th of August and 6th of September.

Until then here is what's on tap for this week...

Schedule for August 16th

Round One Scratch races
Women 5 Laps   Laps may be changed longer or shorter by each group.
Men A’s 7 Laps
Men B’s 6 Laps

Round Two Miss n Out
Women Single or double elimination TBD at start.
Men A’s All groups will be reduced to the last 2 riders.

Round Three Unknown Distance
Women All races in this round will be between 8 and 22 laps
Men A’s

Gang,

There is a high probability of rain tomorrow afternoon. Racing may have to be cancelled early even if the track is dry to ride on. This is because Aaro is the CR and I don't want to make him drive all that way with it being so iffy. The weather report has thunderstorms in the three o-clock hour and we all know how reliable that is.

The best option is to try to hold an easy night with only Vickie there or just have a freebie practice night. We have been rather lucky with only one partial rain out Thursday.

Stay tuned,

@swikles

I SAY CANCELLED. Sorry! I am sitting here and hail is raining down on my house. Not track weather. SORRY GUYS!!!!!!

Take tonight and do some crunches, roll them legs, watch prime time tv.... whatever. See you next week!
