Racer's Guild: July 19 Results and Write-Up

Results are posted!

The English summer strikes again, turning what was an almost perfect CDL timing track in the morning into a sloppy, slimy, gooey mess that even Nickelodean would be proud off. The track started to get a little bit faster through the afternoon, just in time for another downpour before the finish. No matter to some though, over 60 steely tough riders thrashed their bikes down the rooty, flat corners of CDL for a good laugh.

This is actually not a jump, but when you're going that fast you've got no option but lift off. Unfortunately, Andy H suffered a very high speed impaler before timing started. He was white as a sheet from the pain before the medics gassed him up. He's recovering now, with some internal bruising around his kidneys, and finding it hard to do the simplest things. Our best get well wishes go out to you Andy! From July 20, 2009

Ben Worrall, on a new bike - one of Bryceland's old V10s. He slowly worked out how to turn it on, finally breaking the 1 minute barrier with a 58 second run, 3rd fastest on the day. From July 20, 2009

Kyle Dixon, back from who knows where, and faster than we remember him! From July 20, 2009

Wicked angle on a tricky corner compression combo. The top 5 was hotly contested for young and old. James Hopkins was closer than ever to that top spot, finally finishing with the 4th fastest time. Photo by Kitman. From July 20, 2009

We all love the young rippers, like Declan Whyte. They want it as much as anyone, and it will come if they just keep at it! From July 20, 2009

Colby Watts in the U16s entering the lower atmosphere from CDL's one gap jump. Keeping it low and tight for speed! From July 20, 2009

Tom Austerberry set the fastest time for a hardtail with a 1:07, and with a lot of style. And he's only 13! If his little bro Jack takes after him, they will be a force to be reckoned with. Ginger power! (I hope that's not rude.) From July 20, 2009
