WEEK 9

Week 9 of SCCX deals a crippling blow to Deeters. With six to go, he's out, done, finished! He went out with some hot legs and showed everyone good final charge on the leadout laps. Deathblow and Biscuit were willing to let him go and react if a situation developed later in the race. The attack really strung out the 7 rider field, with Deathblow and Biscuit marking each others wheel for stage victory. The mud pit forming at the bottom of the Comly Curve is becoming the Achilles heel. Pick a good line, keep your speed. Go into it with doubt, die in the mud, grind it all the way to the barriers. This is where Deathblow would make his first pivotal move on lap 12. Biscuit was able to respond, but didn't have anything for the second small charge. Those vegan legs carry Deathblow to another stage victory.

Rounding out the SCCX Week 9 recap. The beers, just like the barriers and rebar, went missing, so no extra points for the racers rolling the dice with their digestive system. Jflats gets awarded with the jump of the week, now tied with Ivy Meister for fifth! The battle for the last SCCX podium spot could get hot. Legal Tender also crawling his way up there with solid race participation and on course attack points. 50 points for putting in a surge and getting back on the front after the leaders lapped him. Love it. All of the racers are starting to fatigue, especially with the lack of dry racing conditions that really haven't made their return from the earlier weeks. This is the point in the season where true grit will have a role in the final stamp on the standings. Keep in mind, it only takes 4 people to have the race, the SCCX golden rule. 6 more races to go, let's see it through to the end!
