REPORT

We have been talking about it for a long time but today we implemented the Grade Captain concept in each grade.  The grade captains all finished and reported back to the Commissaire.  A very successful inaugural implementation. 

A grade on the Start line

A Open having caught A Club, charge home in the final laps.

The A grade sprint and the King, Anthony Spurgeon takes it from Matty Lucas.

B grade on the Start line

Victory in B grade and RBCC's Hendrik van Calcar made it look easy.  Hendrik will probably upset A grade next week.	Bazza & Bucko upped their B grade performance and managed better than last weeks effort of 1 lap.  Both were there in the sprint finish.
Dave "Knuckles" Crampton showed off his new Colnago but apparently he didn't want to stress it too much because he went OTA in B grade in about 5 laps	Knuckles isn't the only one with a brand new Colnago.  To see more you will have to click here and check out the Thurs night Track results.
C grade on the start line	C grade Sprint and Tim McMillan takes it out
D grade on the Start line	D grade sprint and welcome to C grade Kendall Costa.
E grade on the start line	Jeff Worthington takes victory in the E grade event.
