Week 3 is on! The Tensegrity Short Track Races are going great, people love the course and the racing has been fast and furious!

A couple changes this week;

We will be using the OBRA road numbers, we tried to get new number plates but couldn't pull it off. There are temporary numbers if you don't have one at the race.

The course? it is changing this week.... same amount of climbing, same distance, just different for week 3. It is going to be fun!

Current Series standings are very competitive.

Cat 2 Men - Patrick Waters���, Mark Lipchick���, Dirk Siverts���, Ken Rodgers��� & Phil Randall��� are all within 5 points of each other with Pat at 27 & Phil at 22.

Cat 2 Women - Julia Fudge��� is at 28 points with Deb Bauer��� and Katy Giombolini��� tied for 2nd with 15. I hear there is a Ice Bucket Challenge happening on this race!

Cat 3 Men - Greg Shepherd is at 29 points with Jason Nelson at 24, the next rider is Henrik Morseth who won the race last week. Michael Wisth��� is sitting in 4th, who will show up and earn the points to give Greg a run for his money, you never know what can happen in the race.

Cat 3 Women - Danielle Curran is sitting 2 points up on Virginia Xing��� at 30 points, can Virgina pass her with 2 weeks to go? Kelly Sandow��� is sitting in 3rd and can pull back some points if she comes out and races this week.

Elite Men - I hear that there is some more competition coming out this week! and Adam Oliver��� says he is racing his cross bike.... Brent Mattison is sitting in 1st with 28 points, Richard Sweet��� sitting in 2nd with 24 points, but Adam is only 1 point behind in 3rd. Maybe with out a rolled tire I can hold Adam off, but on a CX bike it might be a race! Pretty sure that Ryan Garner��� will come out again and try to win it again this week. If Brent can keep his chain on, Ryan makes it, I keep my tires on, and Adam is on a CX bike, wow!

Elite Women - Meg Hamilton��� has been the only one, will Jaini Van Scholten-crawford��� make an appearance? try out those cross legs for the upcoming season? anyone else?

Junior Boys 10-14 - Max Ritzow has a commanding lead, lets see if any other juniors will give him a race! Brendan Sheerin and Rowan Boutette are tied for 2nd, with the other 3 juniors only 2 points down.

Junior Boys 15-18 - Leif Kytola��� - you are being called out! time to step up and race with the big boys. buff said!

Singlespeed! - How I miss racing this category! Taylor Bushnell��� is sitting 2 points up on Spencer Ardt��� so at least Tensegrity is crushing it! last week though Brian T. Cannon��� and Dan Sheerin came out and gave Spencer a challenge. If Taylor doesn't miss a race and keeps racing strong it will be hard to beat him, but there always Sal Collura���, he won the CX race on Monday, wonder if he is man enough to race in Eugene again....

A lot of fun and fast racing still to be had, come out and race and heckle everyone.

Join us at Tacovore after the race this week again for beer and taco's, next week is the awards handouts and the DOD Pints for a Cause. We are making it mandatory to get the best prizes as it will be a first come first pick basis, plus we want to support our sponsors and the DOD.
