This afternoon, the civic centre was a hive of activity as per usual. Here Paula Tomera is loading up Seiran to show off at the high school. She is hoping to recruit a local rider so that they can have a team for next year. This was the bike that was built for local girl Teagan Patterson several years ago.
Hans is working his magic on a Michelin radial so that it runs true in Velox XS.
Velina getting some practice in Bluenose. She is going to qualify tomorrow morning.
Joyce told me that Larry can find stickers of anything on the internet.
This evening was a mixed bag, with some fast runs, some crashes, and no wind legal runs. Here at timing, Mary is standing in her magic radio spot.
Ellen going fast in Velox XS.
Greg improves his time from the 2.5 mile run this morning.
Adam doing his first five mile run.
As the evening wore on, we were behind on our schedule and the last heat was run after sunset.
Here is Andrea going just a bit slower than his personal best. This run was his fastest in Taurus thus far.
This evening’s results.
Here Andrea tells us that he saw an antelope pass about 15 m ahead of him, and then the second one made his camera screen go black.
Calvin and Mattias compare notes on their crashes. Both of the flatted their front tires, Calvin’s at 70 mph.
Just a little road rash on the left side of both bikes.
The revised start order for tomorrow. IUT Annecy is going to qualify two riders in Altair 6.
Jennifer Breek’s (wind non legal) run made her briefly the 5th fastest female ever (til Lieke’s run later in evening). Lieke De Cook (wind non legal) became the 3rd fastest female ever. Greg Cantori (wind non legal) set a new Personal best. Adam Ince went just slower than his personal best set in morning qualifying.
