Its 10:30 AM and the weather is looking hit-or-miss. So far there has been NO rain at the airport, which is only about 2 miles from the track, and looking at the radar it seems like the storm bands have passed. So at this point WE ARE RACING. However, we’ll check back in at about 3PM for an update, and then Diesel Dom will inspect the track at 4:45 for the final word.
Oh, and here is a little something one of the C.A.B.A.L. indoctrinates stumbled across:
It is looking like conditions will be perfect for the Dirt Derby this week. With the road season pretty much over and a big mountain bike race coming up, we are expecting big turn out.
Starting this week, there will be free HEED sports drink on tap, courtesy of our good friends at Hammer Nutrition. Use the extra juice to power your way through a second race: the Oakley Velodrome races are a blast. This week the heats will be as follows:
Match Sprints – Heat 1
A Point-a-lap
B Unknown Distance
Sprint Finals
A&B combined Madison
Also, don’t forget that the Dirt Derby goes on a grand scale in a little more than 2 weeks, with the launch of the Lonestar Cyclocross Series at the Second Annual Pflugerville Grand Prix. Mountain bikers can rejoice as well, as the following week at the TMBRA Power Pedal race, we’ll be hosting AggieCross and the first Texas Short Track race. Registration is now open at BikeReg.com.
