August 22, 2000

Race Format - Regular - A and B group Combined.

This was the fastest race we have had with an average lap time of 1 minute and 40 seconds: typically a good lap for the past races. It was great to see the lead pack with most of the riders, which made the race intense. Primes did nothing to split the field and the ten primes were well divided through the riders. Jere Hu won the 5th prime by inching past Kirk Schmiedge. Kirk may have been distracted by the challenge because 3 minutes later, he lost traction in the second corner from unevenness in the pavement. Wade Wallace challenged Dave Jetz for the last prime though Dave had reserve to look back to see how close Wade was.
