Thanks to all of you who came out this Tuesday for our first week of the 2009 Dirt Derby. We had an excellent turnout and hope everyone had as fun a night as we did!

We had over 100 racers this week, a Dirt Derby record! And now, we’re excited to tell you about an even better reason to keep coming out each week: 40% off a Redline cyclocross bike from Hammerhead Bicycles!

That’s right, Hammerhead Bicycles is offering a coupon redeemable for 40% off any Redline Cyclocross bicycle/frame! Any racer who attends all 4 weeks of a 4-week Cyclocross Series at the Dirt Derby gets a coupon.

Did we say Dirt Derby? What we meant to say is, the Hammerhead Bicycles Dirt Derby featuring True Fabrication. Here’s the full detail on how Hammerhead Bicycles and True Fabrication are supporting you, our racers:

– Free Custom True Fabrication Frame! At the end of the season, Austin’s own True Fabrication will be raffling a free custom bicycle frame to one lucky Dirt Derby racer. To qualify, any racer who races in all 4 weeks of a 4-week Series gets one raffle entry. There are four 4-week Series this year, so perfect attendance all season would give you 4 times the chances of winning a one-off True Fab custom frame! The more you come out and race, the more chances you can have to win your own custom steel bicycle. www.truefabricationbicycles.com
