miss-n-out with 24 people sounds like hell. good luck there, we'd be there all night in the cold.

win-n-out

EnLaCalle

I think win-n-out could actually be really interesting. Like if it went 4 back, those finishes would be cool. I don't think coach monsterlegs will go for that, though.

Mr Monster Legs

why wouldn't i go for that? i'm always willing to try new races. in fact, i think win n out or miss n out could be a lot of fun

johnnyred

i got a motorscooter and would love to see two paced laps and then an all-out 3rd lap. but i ain't driving... i be racing next week

EnLaCalle

good . I wan't hating or anything. It just seems like you and Tad have thought out stuff pretty thoroughly and that a win n' out might mess up the system or something.

wangster

While we're at it, might as well do a madison, that could be interesting, not much help though since it's meant for sprints. We should do all kinds of new races just to spice things up. Oh and the hammer is right, it's a win-n-out, which would suck, I don't wanna and can't do 24laps or if we go 4 deep, 6 laps.

Pardon my ignorance, but what are:

Miss and out
Win and out
Madison

"Miss-And-Out:

Another variation of the Mass Start race that's sometimes called "Devil Take The Hindmost," because the last rider to cross the line after each (or every other) lap is taken out of the race. The field diminishes rapidly, until there are only a few riders left to contest the final sprint."



"Win’N’ Out:

This is the opposite of a Miss’N’Out race. After a designated number of laps a whistle is blown for the first sprint. The winner of the first sprint is deemed the winner of the race and allowed to carefully withdraw from the race. Each proceeding lap sprint will produce the consecutive places from 2nd to 4th. Tip if you go for a sprint make sure you win it."


"Madison:

Named for the famed Madison Square Garden in New York City, and known as the 'American' race in Europe, this most prestigious of track events is a race for teams of two or three riders, and can last anywhere from six hours to six days!! All riders start at the same time, and the winner is the team covering the most laps in the time allotted. Each team has only one rider in the race at any given time. After covering one or two laps at top speed, that rider drops out of the race so that another member of the team can come in and ride for a while. During the changeovers, the rider coming off the track literally throws the second rider into the race- either with a handsling, or by grabbing onto a special handle sewn into the rear pocket of their teammate's racing shorts. The Madison is considered to be the ultimate event in bicycle track racing, not only because of the length of the race, but also because of its incredible combined demands of speed, endurance, teamwork and tactics."

Quarters Mostly

Here's a pic of the winners of the 9/29 race and their pizes. Cash, cookies, and Star Trek 4! Ya'll better show up to win some of these prizes. I don't think we've seen the last of Star Trek 4....

Here are a few of the pictures I took before my camera batteries died:

wangster

the pictures are a little misleading. There were quite a few people there, just can't tell from the pics, does someone have a pic with all the bikes lay on the grass? Why is msngr so grumpy in that picture?

chOmbO, where were you yesterday? thought you were gonna finally make it out.

Devotion

How come you look so sad, Msngr?

FixednotBroken

i just took the final times. there were way to many people to try to look at the time and write it down successfully. hopefully before next weeks race i will have a new stop watch that will have better functions that will allow for more accurate timing. sorry about that.
