WEEK 4
New players to the game, new defensive tactics, and points scattering around like cockroaches when the light flips on. This is WEEK 4 of SCCX. Ivey Meister and Huffy Tuffy made their first appearance for Season 2 of SCCX, but it was Sippy Cup getting out there for his first CX race ever, showing true cross barrier form late in the game. Keep the bike high and always be pedalin'. The charge for the front was led by Electric Marinara and Deathblow. Marinara rewrote the PUCX governing body rulebook by using his bike as a weapon over the barriers for the advantage. Deathblow responded with a revenge pass which led to a glorious crash. It was a tight race out there, but Deathblow would find that extra ounce of rage to drive home the win. Biggest jump of the week goes to Monkey Fist who has clawed up to 4th in the cyan quest. Many contenders also double-dipping into race and fan standings. Mr. Gentleman and Legal Tender both making their mark as SCCX's best fan, but Snakehawk is here for the win, bringing home another 6 pts for lap counting. Just as you though things were getting comfortable in the SCCX arena, we're bringing out the heavy artillery. Demolition derby figure 8 cross up. Keep you heads up and work on your verbal warning system. Me, I'm going for the Raven, "caaaaa caaaaww!!!"

WEEK 3
Elusive holeshot points, two way traffic, and darkness setting in way too early. Highlights from week 3 of SCCX. Deathblow continues his streak of wins. NJ State Champ, despite going off course and breaking the tape trying to snatch up some holeshot points, still pulls out a podium spot with third. CrApsTaChE nestles himself in the middle bringing home second. Shake up in the standings. Electric Marinara squeaks around Monkey Fist, but Monkey Fist returns moving a notch above Deeters.

WEEK 2
The cyan sauce is at a low simmer. Like a sourdough starter, you got to give it time, let it rise. Week 2 saw a shakeup in the front pack with the edition of the NJ state champ. What tactics would he employ? It turns out he is a classic "surge then idle" crosser. A move that was used against cRaPsTaChE and Deathblow in the mid laps, but 15 is a long way to go. After lap 12 the plug was pulled leaving cRaPsTaChE and Deathblow to engage in the battle as old as the ages. While Deathblow stayed true to his name, jumping with 2 to go, the gap to 2nd was not as large. Deathblow keeps his tight grip on Cyan, with cRaPsTaChE in 2nd, and NJ State Champ in 3rd.
Sooooooooo close to giving out hole shot points, but you gotta keep the power up for at least a lap before gloriously exploding. Legal Tender, I'm posting in your direction, but I do give you credit for most combative when riders inch up on your wheel. Snakehawk scoopin' up all the fan points, she might just run away with this title. Next week should be interesting, with Iron Cross still lurking in the legs of the leaders, anything can happen on the slippery cyan slopes!
