   The 'C' race was fast and furious tonight. There was a four man break in the second lap that eventually got reeled back in minus one. Some guy proceeded to lap the field SOLO. I was just trying to hang on as folks reeled in the break so I missed the fact someone was off the front. He came around on the inside about 12 minutes in yelling 'inside' and flying by. He got back on the front but couldn't shake the field the second time. Nonetheless, he stayed on the front for most of the rest of the race. The field averaged 25.1 mph. Who knows how much the winner averaged? Jim Caragol and I finished with the field somewhere in the top 10, but humbled.

   Randy Smith was at the 'B' race and will have to give you details for it.

   Greg,

   Thanks for the report. That was a fast race indeed.

   In the B, a group of 4, including "Fast Frank" Mullins, lapped the field fairly early, and then it was all over but the shouting.

   In the last-lap sprint I was about 10th in line on the back stretch. Couple of guys on the inside were slowing considerably and I actually had to dive inside the white line to get around them otherwise bog down. Believe I was 8th in the field sprint, this 12th overall.

   Just a further clarification about the C race. Greg rode the Assault on Mt. Mitchell on Monday. He would have been at the front of the pack if he had fresh legs!
