Comments: We as a team tried to be much more tactical this time and it paid off. We got good positions on the start line and took control of the lead group right from the get go, first couple of corners were sporty with the rain in the pack but everyone settled down pretty quick. VeloTek was riding our wheel the entire time and would not come up so we pulled it back to around 17-18 mph, way way easy and they were happy to just stay there. BL - Total tactical race vs the hammer fest last time. Sprint lap I was in 6th when the bell went off, little farther back than I wanted to be but OK. Around turn 2 went to the front and sat in 3rd, turn 3 still 3rd around last turn Mark came flying out of know where and we were off...Brent and I took off and I stayed on his wheel for 2nd on the sprint (same team and he did the same for me last time). Right back to the easy cruise with the velo tek dudes not wanting to pull. Brent and I got our legs back way fast and we got the team back together and got the same game plan. Actually got the velo tek dudes out front with 4 laps to go. At 1.5 laps to go, looked over at Brent and said lets go, off we went to the inside before turn 3. Out of turn 4 was looking pretty good and Nukes (our team) comes to the inside out of no where and takes the lead to pull for Santa Fe!!! I hopped on his wheel until the 1st turn then he is spent but Jason comes along and pulls until turn 2 like a mad man, he totally dropped the hammer and pull me and Brent out of the pack. With a 1/2 lap to go I dropped the hammer and took off, Brent was late to go with me and I kept the lead from then on!! First win and it was an AWESOME team win for Santa Fe. What would you do differently?: Nothing, we executed a great tactical race, especially for a group of dudes who just raced for the 2nd time together!!! Post race
Warm down: Cool down laps then had to bolt. Last updated: 2006-03-04 12:00 AM
