Rumble On The River #3 - Asheville, North Carolina, June 1, 2005

Ernst Breaks Through

After two weeks of runner-up status, Chris Ernst stated before race #3 that he was ready to go from the gun. As advertised, the Hearn's rider shot off the front on lap one. He took good company for a long breakaway in the form of Kent Williams, David Forkner, and, for a while, Greg Jones. The principal protagonists gained nearly a lap on two occasions, and salted away enough points during their 35 laps on the lam to rest easy when the A Grade Points Race for roadies came back together with 25 laps remaining. From there on, Ernst resisted the efforts of Joey Coddington (Cane Creek) to climb back into the race. And, he was doubly assisted by teammate Randy Parker who twice took maximum points near the end, at the expense of anyone with ideas of removing Ernst from the top spot.

By contrast, the lower division for roadies was again decided on the double points finale of the 30 lapper. After several lead changes, relegations, and demonstrations by Will Sagar that he is faster at 50 than most 25 year olds, it was up to Dennis Kelton to win the last sprint and vault past three riders for the victory. In his wake were, Peter Dickson, Ben Blitch, and…Mr. Sagar.

The trackies put on a display akin to jamming at Roller Derby night. The freshmen class produced the usual blanket finish in the opening Scratch Race. Aaron Renner wrested the top spot after some door banging in the final turn, and this was enough for Cara MacCauley to switch tactics. Although Youngblood Haske guessed perfectly on the Unknown Distance and held off the field, Mme. Lazybones MacCauley outran the field to reach Haske's front wheel at the line. She then eschewed any more rough play and gained a lap in the Points Race en route to the evening's victory.

The A Grade trackies put on the best show of the evening. Sandwiched between Kurt Begemann's win in the Scratch Race and Joey Coddington's massacre in the Points Race was the Miss and Out. Seventeen riders started the race and the middle of the track was not for the faint of heart. Pacemaker Andy Applegate had the shovels out and poured on the coals each lap. In his tire tracks were many machines with the fenders caved in before the Devil took them away one by one. Joey Cujo Coddington bested everyone in this race and recorded a clear victory for the evening.

Next race at The Mellowdrome at Carrier Park will be June 14.
