Elk Grove bumper bikes contest
So one might think that cat 1’s and Pro’s can get along? Well with in about 3 laps of the Saturday Elk Grove race over half the field had been taken out due to ?????? Well actually I do not really know why? It seems that some guys just cannot seem to relax enough to let the race get going? Having typed this, I will most likely be one of the first victims in next weeks race, but it I do I will make sure to do just what a couple guys did this week and take out nearly half the pack with me. Dave Z. did not even have a chance in Saturdays race, he was down and out before he could even say it is good to be back in USA racing…..which I doubt he stated! For some reason when a race has big money on the line….or even any money on the line, racers are willing to risk loosing the left….shifter hood….to come close to winning. Because most likely these guys or guy will not actually contest the real sprint win, but they will for sure affect the outcome of the race because of their willingness to show how big there…..chair rings are?
Luckly I won the hot spot sprints points standing and took home some sweet cash, but I was totally paying for the early efforts in the final sprint, as I could not even get out of my own way.
