Biggest turn-out to date for local fixed-gear races

The latest installment of this biweekly fixture produced the biggest race card to date. The Youth Race kicked off a beautiful evening at the French Broad River Park as ten riders pushed their limits around the oval. The Women's Race returned to the meeting with a full field that included Junior National Champion, Jessie Karriker. Allison Hardy kept control of the points race throughout to hold off Patricia Pinner and previous winner Jennifer Petosa.

The absence of Brian Pierce in the B Race entries left things wide open, and Patrick Britain made his trip from Boone, NC well worthwhile as he topped Eric White and David Fortner in the points classification. The Fixed Gear Omnium also seemed to have several aspirants to the throne. However, Todd Tamplin had all the answers on this night and swept the three races comprising the competition. Marc Mullinax and Herb Young put in good rides to grab the lower placings.

The Masters Race was the first to produce a familiar result as Joey Coddington strengthened his hold on that season-long competition with another victory. T-Bone Taylor took home the second prize and Paul Mittelstadt, on holiday from Washington, DC, stepped up to round out the podium. The A Race also crowned a former winner. Randy Parker of Raleigh put on a devastating performance as he first lapped the field in tandem with Darby Harris, and then left his erstwhile partner for dead as he rode away to another half-lap gain for a solo victory. Harris and Coddington finished tied on points for second place, but the latter was a lap down and finished third in the race.

The facility continues to put smiles on the faces of the riders and a great thanks is due to the Asheville Parks and Recreation Department. I must also thank the indispensable volunteers that make all this possible.
