WEEK 4

Despite low turnout, SCCX still managed to pulled a slugfest out of the hat. With a full moon in the sky, finish line not defined, and a new course layout, the fangs were sure to show themselves. This time the split barriers (one of them occurring on a right hand turn) and the grinder climb up the Comly Curve would induce racer separation. This new territory on our pirated land led to a couple of conservative opening laps, but that would all change on the third go-around. Biscuit's impatience showed through with his first attack and pull on the front. Deeter's and Deathblow kept it contained, until it was Deeter's turn to jump on or around lap 7. Meanwhile, textbook, 2 to go Deathblow was just waiting in the wings, but making his presence felt with a couple of jabs and elbows with his fellow competitors. Smells like some negative points are being cooked up in the SCCX cafe as we speak. Everything aside, as far as winning a cyclocross race, Deathblow pulled that technique straight out of user manual. Deeter's and Biscuit were left to duke it out for second. It was all coming down to a sprint finish, but the lack of a clearly defined finish line would lead to the decision to call it a draw. Combine points from second and third, split it in half, Overlord has spoken. Mid-pack, get out there, lots of you guys are tied up. Let's see some fireworks! No Bueno, RDiaz, and Farichild making their SCCX debut. Nice work out there. Keep fightin'! Rumor has it that there will be a spectator contingency next week complete with the time-honored tradition of the dollar bill hand-up. Get it!!
