Asheville Training Series

Asheville, July 15, 2003

A real good night

It had to happen sooner or later... that it would not rain that is.Installment number seven of the series resumed with larger than usual fields in the youth events, due to the participation of kids from the community-at-large added to the usual suspects of racer’s progeny. In particular, a field of eight in the under 10 years old produced a blanket finish in their one-lapper.

The Fixed Gear enthusiasts continue to swell in ranks, and a milestone was reached whereby the field was split into A and B classes. Both halves of the draw preferred the resulting conditions, and the lower half in particular enjoyed not chasing around the Fletcher Arrow. Doug Graul won the new class followed by Scott Rousseau and the True B herself, Janet ‘Wild Side’ Trubey. In the A group, Kyle Valenta joined the fray as new track record holder for the flying one lap. He animated the racing all night, but The Arrow and Frodo assumed their usual positions at the top while Kyle finished third on points after the three events.

Nancy Daigler lapped the field again in the Women’s event, and Wes Dickson notched another win over the B Grade guys and gals. In the distaff, The Dagger was accompanied by teammate Tanya Nestvogel, and Robin Pace patrolled the field for a sweep by Team Prestige Subaru. Dickson did his work single-handedly, as has been the custom all season.

In the Masters, Slim Shady ran the show. Clark Hollins scored another fine second place and Paul Wood was third. And now, (drum roll) in the absence of threatening weather, the A racers were sent off with expectations of completing all 60 laps (30 km). Gentleman Joe Coddington wears the number one, and he made things interesting by sitting out the first third of the race. Garrett Wonders amassed an early lead, and kept scoring well, even after Joey turned on the gas. This produced quite a tussle as the Cane Creek team nudged Joey into the lead prior to the final sprint. Everything was up for grabs until Darby Harris spoiled the script by slipping away at the end. By taking the ten points out of circulation, he insured Coddington’s well-deserved win. Wonders finished second and Jacob McGahey quietly rode to the show spot.
