REPORT
The first race for 2008 saw 80 riders register for
racing under the restructured grading system. We have abandoned the concept of A Open and A
club. There are now 4 grades staggered about the track at 4pm,
A, B C & D grades.
A grade action and Nathan "Rollo"
Rollason drives the 8 strong grade.
Not happy with the pace, Rollo
attacks on the pimple.
Richard Lang got across to Rollo and the two worked together to try
and hold off the chasers.
Three chasers were relegated
to the spectators bench whilst Dave Walton, Matthew Yaxley and
Steve Walton worked hard to try and pull back Rollo and Richard
Lang. |

whilst Steven Walton could not hold on, Yax and Dave
Walton eventually got across and contested the sprint.
Richard Lang was a clear winner with very little
separating the three sprinting for second place. |

B grade action as
the peleton enters the Netball Court area. |

 |
|
Andrew Duggan broke away from B grade
bunch and took victory by a country mile. |
Meanwhile back at the peleton, Sean
Bloch miles too fast for the rest of the bunch takes out
the bunch sprint and in so doing takes second place to
Andrew. |

 |
| C Grade
action and Bazza seemed to be always at the front or
attacking but coincidentally only in the immediate area
of the cameraman. |

Brendan Ingram takes out the D grade
sprint. |
Greg Fisher takes out the E grade
sprit. |

F grade sprint and Sandie Mackey

Frank Fortuna's new retro Colnago
Extreme Power drew plenty of attention. |

A racing casualty as Tony Caruana
brings back a bird that he collided with during the
race. It was very thoughtful of you Tony, but
Rocky doesn't look at anything under Turkey size.
Now if you had hit a cow !!! |
