Back in the mid 80's Detroit rocker The Rythim Corp had the hit Common Grounds, I dont think anyone had that in mind on a hot breezy afternoon in mid July at our states capital. The fields were a bit down this past weekend, July is a tough time for alot racers, mid summer burnout plagues many, outside races draw many out to battle elsewhere, leaving the opening for new faces in the mix. but no matter what the shuffle is, the podiums seems to contain the usual suspects.
This is great venue and deserves a better turnout. Downtown crits are a TMS favorite. The Cat1/2 field was one such group missing some of the watts it normaly contains, but that didnt stop DocSAVAGE form takin the heads off the rest of the field. PH boys and Lathrup tried to diassemble the pack in a break that got too big for its own good, but when it came down to the end the Savage took it with PH Dwitte and the 455 Riveria hot on him. the top 15 contained some surprise finishers. Brandon Lyon, the Fleein Koreon, and Fabulous Fred Anderson all scored points.
Cat 3, got combined with the 4's and had what has got to be the best finish we have witnessed in that class scince this roll has been goin, a slight stack up took out a few... but still kept the field together, Brendan Benson got it by a hair with Kyle Lake snakin 2nd. Amy Staufer won the Cat 1/2/3 womens field.
Masters 35+ had PAPPA T doin it to it like Pruit used to do it to it. Rob Iser saved his head and held onto 2nd.
Its almost sick were half way through the 2007 season, The courses and turnouts in our opinion are the best they have been in years. with guys like Christian, The Howard brothers and Jake the Snake tearin it up outta state, Not To mention always a Scener Mark Heckman winning Tour Ohio, shit The BLACK ACE with double podium spots at gNAts, and over 70% of the 1/2 field being a master, it gives the riders comin through the ranks some drive, the state is tough and does have the ability to produce some good talent we should all be thankfull we got guys like this, and the teams we have, supporting the events around the state.
