Race results are posted at NashvilleCyclist.com for the first race in the ten race series. Harpeth Racing made a good showing in last night’s race, earning more than 50 team omnium points and starting off the series in third place as a team. These races are a perfect opportunity for someone new to racing to get their feet wet, as first time crit racer and D-Squad member John Scott can attest.
Brian Rejack and Chuck Byrge finished in the top 10 in the Cat 5 race, with Brian taking second place. His paperwork wasn’t quite official enough to let him race as a Category 4, but it will be by next week. The Cat 5s on on the team are sorry to lose him, but the Cat 4s are glad to pick up another hard hitter. Fair warning to the rest of the Cat 4s – Brian Rejack is coming for you!
Mark Horne and Greg Colby raced strong races in the Cat 4 race. Not only did they (along with Brad Wormer and Todd Essig) race almost the entire race in a strong rain, but they put in quite a performance. Greg Colby pulled off the front of the main field early in the race and held them off for several laps. Mark held tight to the main group of around 8 racers and matched every effort they put out. Both finished in the top 10.
