BVC Friday Racing - playing with the A's again

Three races with the A's tonight... 

First was an Elimination... I don't really mind getting spit out the back in an Elimination... but not even being able to get to the back to get spit out... that's embarassing... Mind you they where going 58km/h... :-)

Next was a 20 Lap Tempo race... I somehow, by mistake, got to the front, third wheel.. And after about 5 laps managed to even get over top of Jeff Ain who after being second wheel for 3 laps had taken 2 at the front... Managed to even stay there for 2 laps!!!!!! At 51km/h... After that I was toast and off the back doing laps at 45km/h... Kirk Obee and (I think) Mike Roethengatter caught me with 2.5 laps to go. Bruce Denis and Mike Laxdale with 2. And the rest of the field (started with 10) all three of them... caught me in the bell lap...

The last race was an Unknown Distance... I was bagged and just hung in at the back... and tried to at least stay reasonably close (on the same straight away) as the finisher's sprinted ... I managed to get up to 61km/h following Julian Base's wheel... but that just got me around the corner and on to the straight away... 

I think next week I'll retire, defeated, and slink back into the B's where I belong for the last two nights of the Winter series..

I have to admit it has been fun...
