Dixie Crit Version 2
Another race is in the books at Dixie Fairgrounds. Whit and I toed up along with one of my PRP teammates, Alex. There were around 15 or so in the field tonight, probably mostly due to the weather earlier in the day (cold, rainy). The race was for the most part pretty tame, by about halfway through the field dwindled to around 9 or 10 of us on the lead lap. Whit was taking some really long pulls on the front, and each time he tried to pull off, the Benisimo guy behind him refused to pull through and would swerve over behind Whit to not allow him to drop back. Awesome. On one of these rotations, I tried to head out around the outside to take a pull but the wind was so strong on the straights that by the time I wound up towards the front I had already expended quite a bit of energy and couldn't really help out. Alex took a turn on the front then with about three or so laps left and upped the ante a bit. We were all snaking through the turns and on the last lap the sprint finish (racing for nothing) I was able to take third and Whit fourth. Cool.
In the 4 race, Duane and Mitch rode extremely well finishing 3rd ($) and 7th respectively, most impressive guys!
