FIRST WIN OF 2010!!
Paul, Sal, and Eddie drove down to race FBF yesterday and Sal, Thomas, and Eddie did the 40+ race. FBF because is great because it’s always windy, and a hard race because of it. Brooklyn
Velo Force and Deno’s Wonder Wheels were the teams to watch, and it was 12 laps at 2.2 miles a lap. From the gun, Sal took the first flyer right into the head wind followed by Thomas, and the team kept trading attacks. Right before the 8th lap, Eddie countered with 4 to go, and was off alone hoping someone would join him. The laps ticked down though and nobody came to help, and nobody caught him either. A chase group containing teammate Thomas Pennell formed behind, but never came within 30 secs. of Eddie, allowing Thomas to stay fresh enough to out-sprint his rivals and take second making it a 1/2 for the team.
It was an excellent day for the team as everyone got some hard racing in their legs.
