Thursday night track results for August 23, 2007
I am so thankful for the good rider turnout. Sure, it could be better but we have Wednesday and Friday track racing as well as the Cal Cup events on the road. Hopefully in the remaining five nights of Thursday Night racing we will see even greater numbers? With racing like last night we can only hope so.
Seventy degrees at nine oclock only felt chilly because we had ninety degree weather as the riders warmed up. There are so many things you could all be doing in our golden state so that makes me doubly happy that you chose to come out to the track and race. The racing was hot too as riders attacked each other and pushed themselves to forge ahead or seek out a good draft. That is the beauty of Thursday Night track racing in that you can get what you want out of the racing.
Thanks again to Joe Fineman for rounding up the Peets and Clif Bar prizes. Thanks to everyone for coming out to race!
C Group Results- 12 starters, 70 laps in 39:17 averaging 22.4mph
Highlights- Seven riders staying in contention during this slugfest. The race was up for grabs going into the final sprint. Ryan Williams came out on top after earning 4 sprint victories including the final sprint to seal the deal. Amanda came on strong at the end and is looking to be in fine form for collegiate track nationals next month.

B Group Results- 15 starters, 70 laps with no recorded time or average
Highlights- Speaking of collegiate track nationals, Brian Percival (Stanford) has won the last three weeks and looks ready to race with the A group. The field shattered during the night and made for one confusing race, but I think I have the scoring correct.

A Group Results- 12 starters, 80 laps in 39:28 minutes is a 25.2 mile per hour average
Highlights- Congratulations to all the riders that put up a good fight against Priority Healths Ben Jacques Maynes. We (including his wife and two kids who cam out to cheer) are all rooting for Ben to go far with track cycling, but I mostly appreciate the focus that the other riders have to go to battle with Ben. That takes courage!
1st - 55 points- Ben Jacques-Maynes (Priority Health)- 7 sprints
2nd - 15 points- Tyler Dibble (DBC)- 2 sprints
3rd - 12 points- Don Langley (Morgan Stanley)
4th - 10 points- Jesse-Andy Mendonca (BPG)

Thursday night track results for August 16, 2007
What a night for racing! Short sleeved weather and a strong wind to keep the riders honest. Thanks go out again to Joe Fineman for rounding up the Clif Bar Product and Peets certificates. Now that I have 5 weeks worth of prizes we know that we have Peets certificates for the first three riders in all three races and enough Clif Bar product for all riders. Thanks to Jen Coler for making the brownies! Enough for the top three places in each of the three groups. Thanks to Marc Franklin and Mike McDonald for flipping cards tonight. Thanks to Billy Innes for donating the quart of Bushmill Irish Whiskey. Thanks to Ben Jacques-Mayne for trading it for more Peets certificates because the whiskey ended up with the AMD-Discovery Channel team (how did that happen? read more below)
As always at the Hellyer Track juniors race for free! Two juniors and six women in total tonight with Jen Coler storming to 2nd in the Cs and Shelley Olds claiming 3rd in the Bs. Good news in that we have a volunteer promoter for August 30 while I am playing at Masters Nationals. So, we are good for every Thursday through September 27. That's 7 more weeks of Thursday Night Racing!
Miscellany- average miles per hour is not a good indicator of sprint speeds and lulls in the race, it is simply an average of the whole race. Duh. I tend to keep track of these things so that I know how we are doing on time. Thanks to everyone for coming out to race! Lastly, a green tool bag was left at the track and is in the container.
C Group Results- 11 starters, 70 laps in 37:00 for a rapid 23.6mph average
Highlights- Darryl Smith (ICCC), Jen Coler (Trumer Pils) and Tim Bisson (FFBC) were the class of the field as they sprinted for points, took laps and duked it out for the overall.
1st - 31 points- Darryl Smith (ICCC) - 5 victories
2nd - 12 points- Jen Coler (Trumer Pils)
3rd- 0 points- Ron Clementi (Summit Windows) 2 victories and then lost a lap right at the end of the race
Also- Mike McDonald (4 points)(Jaeger), Vance Sprock (5 points)(LGBRC), Beth Newell (3 points)(unattached), Jonathan Racine (2points)(SJBC), Clare Sprock (LGBRC), Ron Clementi (unattached), Sabine Dukes (Velobella-Kona). Taylor Meilahn (ICCC)
B Group Results- 12 starters, 70 laps in 34:00 for a quick 25.8mph average
Highlights- This was the race of the evening! With this rapid pace no one took a lap and 4 different riders took sprints so we had a close race right to the end. But, it was a bold move by Stanfords Brian Percival made a bold move with 15 laps to go and soloed away to victory. Very nice bit of riding there.
1st - 23 points- Brian Percival (Stanford) - 3 victories
2nd - 19 points- Andrew Nevitt (Safeway)- 2 victories
3rd- 13 points- Shelley Olds (Proman)- 1 victory
4th - 11 points- Blake Anton (Davis Bike Club)- 1 victory
5th - 5 points- Dan Adkins (Metromint)

Also- David Puglia (LGBRC), Sean Gabiorek (Team Tailwinds), Grant Foster (unattached), Kelly Silbenberg (Spine)
A Group Results- 12 starters, 100 laps in 48 minutes is a 26.1 mile per hour average
Highlights- Motor pacing with local professional and NRC points chaser Ben Jacques Maynes! Fun to watch, for sure! Painful for the riders, you bet! (repeat headline from last week)
1st - 41 points- Ben Jacques-Maynes (Priority Health)- 7 sprints
2nd - 20 points- Dave Bailey (AMD-Discovery Channel Masters)- 2 sprints
3rd - 19 points- Billy Innes (AMD-Discovery Channel Masters)

Thursday night track results for August 9, 2007
We had great weather and great racing so let me get to the stories and results. Thanks again to Joe Fineman for rounding up the Clif Bar and Peets. Thanks also to Joe and Alden Tanaka for helping flip cards and pick riders last night.
Last night we had 5 women and juniors so we did not break up the C group. I would like to see the women and juniors race separately so please talk amongst yourselves and pick a date to come out en force. We will be points racing August 16, 23 (sprints ever 10 laps) and then again September 6, 13, 20 and 27 (sprints every 5 laps). As always at the Hellyer Track juniors race for free!
Miscellany- 1) the warm-up pacelines looked good! Thanks for organizing those. 2) not that anyone asked me but I always found it helpful to have a goal with the workout before stepping onto the track. For instance, if one is having a tough time finishing the race strong then not going gonzo on the first few sprints might be the ticket. Follow wheels at the beginning of the race and heap the benefits of drafting. That sort of stuff.
C Group Results- 15 starters, 60 laps in 31:17 for a screaming 23.9mph average
Highlights- fellow USAC official Steven Mielich (SJBC) dominated this race, taking 5 sprints and a lap. Behind him we had an exciting race with seven riders swapping out sprint points.
1st - 48 points- Steven Mielich (SJBC) - 5 victories and a lap
2nd - 10 points- Tom Luttrell (Zteam)
3rd- 9 points- Jen Coler (Trumer Pils)- 1 victory
4th - 7 points- Rob Weinstock (ICCC)
Also- Vance Sprock (LGBRC), Clare Sprock (LGBRC), Bill Fallis (Pen Velo), Taylor Layton (Roaring Mouse), Ron Clementi (unattached), Anna Erickson (UCSB Cyclng), Sabine Dukes (Velobella-Kona), Jonathan Racine (SJBC), Sam Shaffer (unattached), Julie Nevitt (SJBC, Neil Bliss (Alto Velo),
B Group Results- 14 starters, 70 laps in 34.36 for a quick 25.5mph average
Highlights- This was the race of the night. What an exciting race to watch. Mark Patten (VOS) took the first 4 sprints but then got little help when Brian Percival (Stanford), Bob Parker (Alto Velo) and David Anthony (EMC2) broke away in the 2nd half of the race and eventually lapped the field.
1st - 33 points- Brian Percival (Stanford) - 1 victory and a lap
2nd - 32 points- Bob Parker (Alto Velo)- 1 victory and a lap
3rd- 31 points- David Anthony (EMC)- 1 victory and a lap
4th - 20 points- Mark Patten (VOS)- 4 victories
5th - 12 points- Joel Shaffer (AMD-Discovery Channel Juniors)
6th - 5 points- Ken Sato (Santa Cruz)
7th - 3 points- David Allbut (Team Bicycle Business)
8th- 2 points- Dan Adkins (Metromint)
Also- David Puglia (LGBRC), Paul Debacker (Alto Velo), Chris Lollini (Roaring Mouse), Randy Armstrong (unattached), Nole Studley (Roaring Mouse), Mike Flynn (SJBC)
A Group Results- 10 starters, 100 laps in 46 minutes is a 27.2 mile per hour average
Highlights- Motor pacing with local professional and NRC points chaser ben Jacques Maynes! Fun to watch, for sure! Painful for the riders, you bet!
1st - 101 points- Ben Jacques-Maynes (Priority Health)- 9 sprints and 3 laps
2nd - 25 points- Andy-Jesse Mendonca (RH Villa)- 1 victory
3rd - 17 points- Michael Hernadez (Safeway)
4th - -15 points- Keith Miller (Giant Strawberry)
Also- Andrew Nevitt (Safeway), Eliot Logan (Alto Velo), Devon Vigus (Giant Strawberry), Giovanni Rey (BPG), George Meilahn (ICCC), and our NCVA President John Simmons (Shaws)

Thursday night track results for August 2, 2007
34 riders for the first of eight 2007 Thursday Night races. Same Points Race format as in 2005 and 2006 but this year we’re putting up the # of laps at the start versus racing for time. We also had prizes last night from Clif Bar and Peets coffee. We will have more next week. Thank you Joe! Please also note that if we have 10 or more juniors and women at 6:45pm we plan to start them off on their own. As always at the Hellyer Track juniors race for free! First races start at 7pm.
The racers sprinted every 10 laps last night and we will continue that format through August, take a one week break for masters nationals (me, maybe not you) and return in September (6, 13, 20 and 27) with sprints every 5 laps to get riders ready for elite districts (San Jose- Sept. 8-9) and elite nationals (Carson- Oct. 3-7). Personally I think that this format, added with a big dose of competition (like we had last night) helps prepare our riders for the big races. Please do what you can to encourage your teammates and friends to come on out. Another benefit to this series is that Bs can warm up behind the Cs, Cs can cool down behind the Bs, As can warm up behind the Bs and Bs can cool down behind the As. Trust me, if works (but I am strict about staying together and being safe!).
Miscellany- 1) I blew a call last night when 4 leaders were coming up on their sprint lap but caught the pack right before the line and I rang the bell. Officially, the lone rider behind the original leaders became the leader on the road so I should have waited to give her the bell and then the pack would have received the bell. I scored it right but messed up the bell. See, this is tricky stuff. 2) and, it would be great to see a paceline warm-up before the Cs race!
C Group Results- 11 starters, 60 laps in 30:50 for a smooth 24.5mph average
Highlights- Chris Miller went on the attack early, gained the first sprint and proceeded to take a lap. So, he had earned 25 points but Julie Granshaw, Beth Newell, Andrew Lanier and Nole Studley worked together to not only lap the field but to hang out there long enough to take more points than Chris. Eventually, Chris, Julie, Andrew and Nole had two laps on the field.
1st - 57 points- Nole Studley (Roaring Mouse)- 2 victories and 2 laps
2nd - 55 points- Andrew Lanier (SJBC)- 1 victory and 2 laps
3rd- 50 points- Julie Granshaw (Morgan Stanley)- 2 victories and 2 laps
4th - 49 points- Chris Miller (RH Villa)- 1 victory and 2 laps
5th - 31 points- Beth Newell (unattached)-1 victory and 1 lap
Also- Bill Fallis (Pen Velo), Mike McDonald (Jaeger), Joe Fineman (Penn State), Taylor Layton, Ron Clemti, Anna Erickson, Robin Horwitz (Alto Velo)
B Group Results- 8 starters, 70 laps in 40:00 for a jerky 21.9mph average
Highlights- 2007 Masters 40-44 time trial and criterium National Champion Michael Hutchinson was the class of this field. Relatively new to the track Michael could not decide if he wanted to take laps or sprint with the field so he tried both. In the end Michael took 4 laps and 2 victories. Stan Terusaki took 2 laps and 2 victories. Eugene Beyer took 1 laps and 2 sprint victories.
1st - 102 points- Michael Hutchinson (Spine)- 2 victories and 4 laps
2nd - 62 points- Stan Terusaki (Morgan Stanley)- 2 victories and 2 laps
3rd- 31 points- Eugene Beyer (ICCC) 2 victories and 1 lap
4th - 4 points- David Allbut (Team Bicycle Business)
5th - 3 points- Randy Armstrong
Also- Jeff Pallin (Pen Velo), Ryan Williams
A Group Results- 15 starters, 68 laps at a smoking pace until the crash (race stopped)
Lowlights- Pat Dunnaway, Tim Granshaw, and Gio Rey hit the pavement with 12 laps to go in what was a very exciting race. Check out the scoring and you can see how close this race was!
1st - 46 points- Andy-Jesse Mendonca (RH Villa)- 3 victories and a lap
2nd - 33 points- Roman Kilun (Health Net)-1 victory and a lap
3rd- 31 points- Tim Granshaw (Morgan Stanley)- 1 victory and a lap
4th - 25 points- Billy Innes (AMD-Discovery Channel)- plus a lap
5th - 24 points- Pat Dunaway (Giant Strawberry)- plus a lap
6th - 6 points- Steve Reaney (Giant Strawberry)
7th- 3 points- Gio Rey (RH Villa)
Also- Andrew Nevitt (Safeway), Alden Tanaka, Richard Brockie (FFBC), Mark Patten (VOS), Eliot Logan (Alto Velo), Jim Ryan (LGBRC), Mary Maroon (VeloBella), Sassan Golafshan (Form Fitness), Warren Geissert (Alto Velo)
