Myles in the Jr points race.
Nate in the points race.


Last night was a great night of racing at the track as Myles and Mitch joined Nate for some racing. The races were the Chariot which is a 500 meter standing sprint. Nate took a 2nd place, Myles and 4th and Mitch a 5th. Then the guys lined up again for the Sr categories. Nate took a 3rd place int he cat 3. Mitch took a 2nd in the cat 4 and Myles a 3rd in the Cat 5. Then it was a the Madison and Lionel wanted to race and Nate was sitting there so they teamed up. They had never did any exchanges before but they were up for the race. After the first half of the race they figured out that they needed to stop in the turns before the exchanges. After that they began to make up ground and finished 7th place 1 out of the money. Next time I think they will do better. After the Madison it was time to line up for the points races and Nate finished 3rd in the Jr and 3rd in the cat 3. Myles finished in the field in the Jr and 3rd in the cat 5 points race. Mitch finished 5th in the Jr and in the field in the cat 4 points race. Then Myles and Mitch raced the consultation which was a 20 lap scratch race. Myles stayed safe in the front of the race and kept it at a brisk pace to keep anyone from getting off the front and then Mitch took off on the bell lap and and won the race and Myles finished in the field. I was a great night of racing and now we are getting ready for the trip to Colorado. Must finish packing. Later..
