2009 Schedule of Events

The Dirt Derby returns Tuesday, September 1

Final, final results are up

We’ve updated and reposted the season standings, a couple of the individual race pages still need to be reposted.

Party on Tuesday at Mellow Johnny’s - RSVP on Facebook 

Party at Mellow Johnny’s 1/20

The end of a season, well almost

Just because it was our last race of the year didn’t mean that it was too late to mix things up a bit, or perhaps get rained on a bit. In the most interesting event of the night, Eardie Curry snapped his fork Hincapie-style in the Velodrome Chariot race. Knowing what he can do to a steerer tube, it’s best not to cross him.

Results are up, and the final standings for the second series can be found here.

We’ve got next week off, but then the week after that it’s our shindig at MJs. Prizes will be awarded, a keg might show up and you’ll be amazed at how much fun you can have below LT. The 20th, Mellow Johnny’s, in the basement, sometime ‘after work’.

We’ll see you then. It’ll be bittersweet in a sweet way.

We are still racing tonight

So far, so good. There has been less than a half inch of rain, and the sun is coming out. So pack up your stuff and get on out there, because its your last chance to hit the Derby until autumn

Series Totals

Series Totals may be found here

Will Noah Godsey fend off a surging Will Irby?

Will Daniel Grillo win both B MTB and C CX?

Will Jacob Dodson manage to move himself into last in B CX?

Come out tommorow and see!

Series Totals Forthcoming

Due to some technical whatnots, series totals should be posted tomorrow night. Plus, you’re too busy aching from the State races to worry about striving for that Dirt Derby crown just now. Tomorrow night though, you’ll be well rested and ready to hit the dirt - and the two will coincide. It’ll be cosmic.

No New Years Race, Results

Sadly, New Years shan’t be ringed in with burning thighs deep in Del Valle. We will ring in January 6th with a cross race, which goes down well with a weekend of state championships. We’ll be figuring out our own Dirt Derby Second Season Champions after next week as well, expect tabulated season standings over the weekend. Expect a sweet schwag-filled shindig on the 20th as well.

Results are posted. In something befitting of poetic finality, the last race for our season will be our first in the New Year. It’s 2009, it’s our last race, it’s a good reason to dish out all the pain you can.

Yes, we did race tonight

It was holyidaytastic. Santa was there. Well, at least what I imagine Santa would look like if he moved to Austin and took up MTBing. He’d lose some weight and shave the beard because it would get caught in twigs while tearing up the trail, but since he spends his money on bikes now, he doesn’t have the change to refit his old large clothes. That kind of Santa.

Next week will be New Yearsalicious. You can race well and really end the year right. Or you can do poorly and give yourself some motivation for the ‘oh niner.

Someone left behind a red Hind vest tonight, if that was you, please tell us.

Results have been posted. Have yourselves some merry holidays, and we’ll see you New Year’s Eve’s Eve.

Yes, we are racing tonight

Quit yer whining and get your butt out to Del Valle. There has been less than 1/10″ of rain in the last 48, and its actually warming up, so expect some fast, dust-free racing.
