Last night was gorgeous, with some stiff competition from some of the ringers we have not seen in a while. Scott Henry threw down and just annihilated an A Short Track field that featured luminaries including Scott Wetherald and last year’s series champion Sean Sindt. The top ‘crossers with David Golden, Kevin Farley, and Mark Wiggans, promoter of the Wurstcross Memorial in 2 weeks. The Bs were a predictably giant field, with some of the state’s fastest roadie youth showing up to throw down Single Speeds, and the sprint of the night going to Cat 5 State Champ Eardie Curry who ran a 4.4 40 from the barriers to the finish line. Thanks for coming out – hope to see you Saturday at AustinCross!

Week two results and special thanks
Week two of the Dirt Derby brought dozens of area racers to Del Valle to fill 74 entries in 10 events. Highlights included several close races and our very own Stack being pipped at the line by Zak Moore in the Men’s A CX race.
BIG thanks to all who brought food to help the Capital Area Food Bank
20 people brought food last night to get a lower entry fee, thanks to our partners at Stalelife and Adomatica. We were all shocked at the amount of donations and humbled to know that our racing brethren are so generous.
If you couldn’t make the Derby, but you’d still like to donate, several Austin-based cyclists will gladly pick up at your house on Saturday. To schedule a donation, please email HAMup@stalelife.com.
You don’t need to be home, just leave the food out. They’re starting north, moving south and stopping along the way. More details can be found here.

The Dirt Derby is underway! We had 55 racers out tearing up the new and improved course, including a great bunch of kids, Longhorns, and women racers. Sol Frost (AustinBikes) dominated most of the night, with C.A.B.A.L. henchman “Keirin” Sikdar stomping the ‘cross field then RIDING BACK TO AUSTIN.
