stumptown:
He even had no shortage of aero wheels on his person as the whole thing went down. Double Tri-Spokes IIRC. Dude put the entire Mashaframa crew to shame!
Naw, he had a spoked wheel on the back when it happened. Everyone was amazed that he kept it upright through the whole thing. The whole infield was clapping. He left a serious patch on the track. We were all in agreement that it was probably the most epic skid we've ever seen.

I still dont know if it was as good as Ritchy's at AVC last year. He didnt get it all the way to a stop, but he was going way faster, had a rolled tire (vs a broken chain) and started in turn 2.
You can even see it at about 1:20 in the AVC vid

Kevin, you were too much for your guys in the Olympic sprint, you left them in the dust :P

yeah...sort of bitter about that. Travis Smith (one of the guys who broke the mens record) hooked me up with those guys after I did a team sprint with him last year. He was putting a lot of friendly pressure on me to "not let his boys down." You have to understand that the ATF team was made to sculpt future Olympians. So I figured these guys were pretty quick. I even over-geared myself for them. And neither of them got the wheel. I missed having the fastest 1st lap by .2 seconds. Second only to the ride that broke the record.
Just sort of irritating to be just as fast as most of the top guys in the country, but not have the reputation to ride with the top guys.
Just sort of bitter

Don't worry about it man. There's plenty of time to win more big races, and we were all pretty psyched on watching you explode off the line.

Thanks a lot guys. Really means a lot. Hope someone took notice! One one hand, its sort of awesome being the only guy that did a 200/sprints today that wasn't on a team. But on the other hand, it'd be nice to have someone helping out :D
Really appreciate it guys :)

Jeremy: According to Candi, I'm still a 3. But the USAC and the UCI calls me a 2. So I have no idea what cat I'll end up riding. As a sprinter only, there is no real way for me to upgrade. I've been trying to get my 1 so I can go play out a t-town next year. But apparently getting 2 podium finishes in the 2 top west coast races isnt enough to get me out of the 3s.

You need to stop riding in the open categories. ;) The 3s this year have been thick, though. Anyone would have a tough time upgrading in that crowd.
You should write Kenji and figure out how many points you have. You should be pretty close to the 25 points you need, just from looking at the results on OBRA.

CommentAuthorTHOR4LIFE
- CommentTimeAug 21st 2009
Kenji doesn't do track upgrades. Candi does. And from my math, I have over 30 points from the my AVC results and my 2 state champs. I think I'd have over 40 points including my results from FSA.
So I really dont get it

brent is tryin to get his upgrade out of the 3s... not sure if itll happen yet, hopefully though. figuring out the points thing is pretty confusing,.. there's a nice chart explaining it for road racing, and very little explanation of the points scale for track racing due to the smaller fields and shorter races i don't quite understand how it works.
