Results up, how prizes work, New Years day

After much delay, we’ve got the results from last week posted. We will post the “Second Season” standings after this week’s races. Speaking of which, the percipitation this past weekend should have packed things down nicely. Unfortunately, we are pulling the plug on the race we had planned for New Years Day, however plan on racing on both Tuesday December 23 and Tuesday December 30.

Here is a quick breakdown of how we gonna award prizes:

Results are posted

Last night was gorgeous, with some stiff competition from some of the ringers we have not seen in a while. Scott Henry threw down and just annihilated an A Short Track field that featured luminaries including Scott Wetherald and last year’s series champion Sean Sindt. The top ‘crossers with David Golden, Kevin Farley, and Mark Wiggans, promoter of the Wurstcross Memorial in 2 weeks. The Bs were a predictably giant field, with some of the state’s fastest roadie youth showing up to throw down Single Speeds, and the sprint of the night going to Cat 5 State Champ Eardie Curry who ran a 4.4 40 from the barriers to the finish line. Thanks for coming out – hope to see you Saturday at AustinCross!
