Hello, fellow OBRA racers!

For those of you how didn't receive the email blast I sent out this morning, here are a couple updates I like to pass along ahead of tonight's races and next week's Series Grand Finale:

1) Tonight is Kids & Family Night!
Tonight we're putting our Short Track families & kids in the spotlight. As usual, our kids race sponsor Islabikes will put on 3 super-fun, FREE Kids Races. After finishing their race, all kids will get treated on ice-cold lemonade and get entered in a free raffle of some great prizes, including Bike Gallery gift certificates and Short Track T-shirts, hats and lemonade glassses. In addition, junior racers will enjoy $5 off the regular day-of-race fee, so bring out those young ones for another great summer night of family race fun!

2) Results & Series Standings.
- Results of last Monday's race: http://obra.org/events/23599/results
- Series standings after six races: http://obra.org/events/24111/results
- Team standings: http://obra.org/events/24114/results
Best 7 races (out of 8) will count towards the final series standings, so a lot can still change!

3) Photos, Video & Winners of last week's Cyclepath Holeshot Night.
Last week's Holeshot Night delivered big time with some wild and close "holeshot sprints", and we have the photos and video to proof it!
Also check out the honor list of Holeshot Winners in each category, who all rode home with a $20 Cyclepath gift certificate, a super-cool, stainless steel Niner pint glass, and a good measure of extra bragging rights!

4) Calling all teams for next week's Ultra Short Track Team Relay!
Make sure to mark your calendar for next week's Short Track Grand Finale, which promises to be another fun night you don't want to miss out on! We still have 12 slots left for our ever-popular "Ultra Short Track" Team Relay, so if you and your team mates or friends like to partake in the craziness, you should hurry up, drop by the info desk tonight, and get your name on the list!
Note: you don't have to be an official OBRA team, just find 10 willing racers (including at least 2 women or junior racers) who are willing to give it their all during less than 5 minutes of ultimate short track race bliss!

5) Newly arrived: Short Track hats!
Right in the footsteps of our popular new Short Track Tees, we just received delivery of a limited batch of sweet-looking Short Track hats, featuring the classy embroidered Short Track logo on a colorful mesh trucker-style cap, which makes it an instant must-have summer accessory. You will find them for sale tonight - and next week - at the Info Desk (right next to registration) for just $10.

6) Another night of Short Track, another round of weekly raffle winners!
Every time you come race short track, you get a chance to win some cool prizes, courtesy of our generous sponsors. So if you raced last Monday, go to http://www.portlandracing.com/weekly-raffle.html to find out if you are among this week's lucky winners!

That's it... we're looking forward to seeing you out at PIR tonight for another great night of short track fun!
