Again! -- NWS Crit 5/19</DIV>

<DIV
style="FONT-FAMILY: times new roman, new york, times, serif; FONT-SIZE: 12pt">
<DIV>Last week, we headed back up to the historic North Wilkesboro Speedway
for another go at the Wednesday night crit series, only this time we rolled in
with 6 Central Carolina riders - me, Brad, Houston, Dave, Matt, and Dustin.
The weather was perfect once again and the turnout was solid. Brad and
Houston's families came out to lend their support (thanks, Richard, Casey, and
Theresa!).</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>With 6 riders, we had enough to talk strategy before the race. Brad
and Houston were placed on "break patrol" and had full power to make something
happen off the front of the race if they could stay clear, or at least chase
down any breaks that looked dangerous. Since we knew from his win at Rock Hill
that Dustin can hold his own in a sprint, the rest of us were tasked with
making sure Dustin got to the line safely and in a position to take it. With
Matt and Dave's mad time trial skills, we felt confident we could pull
together a solid leadout train on the last lap.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Turned out our plan worked perfectly! Brad and Houston launched attack
after attack off the front during the race, continuously causing some of the
stronger riders to bridge up and expend a lot of extra energy. None of the
breaks stayed clear, but by wearing riders down, Brad and Houston played key
roles in what went down at the end. With 2 laps to go, I made my way to
to the outside with Matt in tow. A line quickly formed behind us with Dustin
on Dave's wheel about 5 riders back from me. At the start of the last lap, I
took off around the outside as hard as I could go and pulled off coming out of
the first corner. Then Matt pulled through and off, leaving a couple of riders
in front of Dave and Dustin. By this time, our train had already
surprised the pack and was quickly rolling up the outside to the front of
the race. Dave recognized it was time to get around the riders in front of him
and he made a brilliant and quick move pulling Dustin straight up to the
front of the pack going into the last turn. If you haven't seen Dave time
trial, it's pretty amazing...he made it impossible for anyone to come around
him and Dustin until coming out of the last turn -- and that's when Dustin
poured it on. Timed perfectly, Dustin jumped off Dave's wheel coming out of
the last turn and blazed a trail straight to the finish line! I'm pretty sure
I saw some flames coming from Dustin's bottom bracket...</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Congratulations to Dustin and the team for working so well
together!</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>We actually have a picture this time -- attached.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>So far this year, our team now has:</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Three 1st places</DIV>
<DIV>One 3rd</DIV>
<DIV>One 4th</DIV>
<DIV>One 5th</DIV>
<DIV>and a few top 15s.</DIV>
