WEEK 7

Week 7. Deathblow continues to tighten his stranglehold on the Cyan Jawn. Another stage victory for our vunderboy (German accent). Closing in the half lap lead Deeter's and Biscuit had on him for 11 laps. After his hot sprint warm ups, Deeter's was feeling spicy and ready to rip some legs off. He kept it running hot for about 8 laps with Biscuit on his heels and Deathblow nowhere to be found. Was he caught up in the new course feature The Birdnest / The Crunchies / The Mosh Pit? It did gain a bit of a chameleon reputation with the tall reeds re-orienting themselves on every lap as riders came to terms with riding it at race pace. While this obstacle was shaking everyone up, an old friend was back in town and was staying around the pit area just outside the Green Tunnel. That's right, the Pallets of Pain were back, helping Biscuit in his quest for Deeter separation and Deathblow hold-off. It somewhat worked, but 2 to go did what he does best, putting in the hard work and making his presence know around lap 11. After an attempt Deeters and Biscuit made to box him in after the Comly Curve, he broke though right after the barriers. It seemed he would ride clear from there on out until the familiar crackle of rider distress in the Birdnest rang throughout the SCCX realm. Seems like there was a little tangle up with the reeds and Celery Stalks, who caught a bar end and got pitched sideways. Biscuit, fast approaching, only saw two sideways bikes and hoped the boys would right the situation in time. Deathblow managed to break free at the last minute, maintain his lead, and work to open the gap on the switchbacks. Biscuit had no response to the attack on the Comly Curve and Deeters was dead in the ditch. Wrap him up in Cyan, Deathblow is the man to beat right now.

Word from the grass arena news wire reports that Legal Tender and Fashion Sweater traded dukes for 4th position. Fashion Sweater rode free and gets awarded with jump of the week in the standings, 12th up to 8th! More shake up in the standings with the mid-packers taking the week off. Hopefully you'll get charged up and make your presence felt next week. Be sure to vote on the racer poll over there in the sidebar, our new baby needs a name. Bleed Cyan!!! Bitches.
