WEEK 3

Week 3. Pressure cooker. Unexpected slick course led some to rise to the occasion while others fell. Random barrier pick up points were on course, but race win would be the real prize. Deeter's, grabbing the holeshot into Smuggler's Run got right to work ripping legs off. Things appeared to be playing out as expected until the strapper's were told to work for it. Biscuit seized the opportunity and went out on a fury flyer, gaining almost a half lap on the field. The fire would not burn bright for the duration, Deathblow's headlight was closing in. The catch happened at lap 13, but Biscuit had no response. Deeter's maintains Cyan Jawn, Deathblow, Biscuit and Sprints McAntwin fill out the podium.

Mid packer news coming in as well. With the Steel Donkey taking the night off, it was only Surfnbee and Jflats to battle for mid pack bragging rights. Surfnbee decided to pace himself, instead of taking a massive holeshot and exploding gloriously after the first lap like last week. Jflats jumped right out of his truck and toed the starting line with no warm up because of a late meeting. I can only imagine what his coworkers were thinking when he was sitting in that meeting, with his kit on, looking at his watch every 30 seconds, impatiently waiting to leave. Surfnbee and Jflats shared the pace making duties for the first 6 laps, then on lap 7, Surfnbee ran into a problem. Double lung failure forced him to ease off the gas and go into the pits. Good thing there were oxygen masks next to the neutral support wheels. In the end, Jflats opened up too big of a gap and that is the way they would finish for the night.

Sid Vicious’ night was almost over before it began. A massive endo on the pallets sent him to the infirmary 5 minutes before the start. After a blood transfusion and non invasive surgery he was able to make it back for the start.

Celery Stalks was coming around on his second race of the season. Although he almost didn’t finish because the last lap over the barrier he came down and experienced the dreaded double calf failure. This forced him to crawl through the green tunnel. This just proves the length people will go through for Cyan Glory.

Random bits to tie things up. I am nominating Fashion Sweater for 25 bonus points for riding sans light and Jedi’ing the course on her first race. The Little Monster proved its worth as a suck factor. Pit bikes?? What happened here? Fog machine failure. Mastadon motivation!!! Grizzle, thanks for being our only and most motivational spectator. Always be pedalin'!!!!!!! What does the quest for cyan taste like? Apparently a roll of pennies.
