Competition is strong after a successful day of racing at Baylor.  Racers are trading off wins with no dominate racer running away with all the wins.  The team competition for 2nd and beyond is also fierce as Amarillo ISD’s balanced attack of multiple racers in each of the three high school categories is paying off with a large lead in the team standings.   Be sure to click over to our ‘race series’ tab to see the results.

As for the MSU races we will have a RR on Saturday and a Crit on Sunday as usual but instead of a TT Saturday afternoon there will be Street Sprints on the MSU campus.   These will be done in heats with the top racers from each heat advancing ultimately to the final heat for that category while the others will go on to a ‘consolation heat’ These will be done from a standing start with a holder much like a TT start but the distance will only be something like 200-300 meters.   This is sure to be fun and exciting as MSU promises plenty of spectators in a cool atmosphere, plus sprinting is fun anyways.   Saturday and Sunday, April 17th and 18th hosted by MSU in Wichita Falls.  For any and all questions or information please download the race flyer available at the “race series” tab of this website.

So, be sure to practice your sprint technique and sprinting from a stand still or near stand still.  Remember…go fast…but go in a straight line.

See you in Wichita Falls!
