The Streets of Dexter.


Who ever thought it was a good idea to move theThe State Crit Championship from Ada to Dexter, should be........applauded, Not scince the old Midland course has this race been this selective, Yes ADA is a fine course no doubt, but this years event made alot of riders on the wire, no sleepin at the wheel here just flat tough crit racing.
Nice weather again for the umpteenth week in a row! can you believe it!
BIG RAY DYBOWSKI let it all hang out, and made it 2 State Titles in less than week, winning Masters 45+ in solo Fashion. Fabulous Fred Anderson snuck in for second. Pappa T took advantage of a run away pony and got in its draft to get a second behind outta towner Jerry Whitim in masters 35+ .
Cat 3 had a strong field that stayed together and set up for a mean field sprint the towns people got to see Joe Shraad win it with Saturn/Shells Paul Eddleston second. West Coaster Nate williams came home for 3rd.
Cat 1/2 was stacked with nearly 60 of Michigans finest PH had DWitte, Allen park winner Derek Grahm, Whitehead, TWT had Stark, Lockley and crew, WCMR brough them all The ever fast and last years race winner, Ben Renkema is comin off a couple fine rides at tour Ohio, Strong Man and new 2007 State Time Trial champion Greg Christain, 2007 Road State champion Shoberg , Hard man JasonS, 2004 road State Champion Brant Hendler, Riddle, Robinson, Lathrup, well ..the team is as stacked as well as WM with full house of sprinters including 2004 winner Brian the EAGLE Adams, and last years winner of this race quiet Jeff Hamilton, SunLYon had Shugnight, the Fleein Koreon, and crew. Saturn of Toldeo was missin the BlackAce and the CYBORG, but still had Foshag, Regan and Jeff Crawford to the deed. Blair Dudley looked good in the make wish kit, Wolverine were without Finlestien but had super aggresor DANNYK and cool hand Luke with all the blog banter and bulliten board bullshit on the line, it was gonna be a bloddfeast for those that showed. The race broke up almost from the gun with many guys takin a soil sample in the tricky first corner, By midway the field was splinterd into a bloody lactic mess. breaks would come and some would go, but it wasnt until the near end when the decsion was made and 5 got away to battle it out, The Crafty one JasonS, 2 Lathrups MINIME, The quiet Jeff, and and Hard chargin Derek Grahm. Roundin the last corner it was heads up as Grahm posted yet another win in a great season of fine rides. seconds later the what was left of the field saw a tough 5-7 rider sprint containing Renkema Docsavage, Riveria, Foshag and crew.
Big News in the the pre college set was Chris brinkman or the Giant KILLER DIDNT win , he was second to PH's Zach Mcbride. Ms woodring did as expected and took the womens 1/2/3 were finaly seeing a good turnout in that class. Team Venom got revenge and creamed the Cat4 field with Bryon Boyer wreckin it. Peggy Herron from the Michigan Sports and Fitness magazine won womens Cat4 in fine style.
All in all It was a perfect day, a tough corse and good turnout only added to the it.Thanks Dexter and all those that made it happen we cant wait till next year.

Ridin with heart award goes out to: Matt Prygowski covering everything that moved
most agressive: Rich Stark goin for it all day, only to end it with a crash.
best showin by a team: DRAW. Lathrup and West Coast puttin 3 guys in the top 10
sweetest win: BIG RAYS
strangest sighting: Grant Kidd in a vintage Extang Uniform or Max Finbiener in a Makewish kit

It is so nice of someone to notice Blair Dudley looked good in his Make a wish kit. To bad he was 10th and nobody and saw him including the camera and the officials. It is not the first time I have seen these guys jack up the results.

if this is true, who ever is fucking this up should not be allowed to go even near the end of the race. Its pathetic that this keeps happening. Jack entry fee's up 5-7$..Pay for chip timing and be done with it! its 99% of the time acurate DONE.

Dan Klein was super-aggressive too. What was that old nintendo game where you could pick up pick up "Nitros" and shoot ahead of the competition? I think Danny was was packing about 20 of them suckers!

How about someone ask Blair "WHY?" the officials removed him from 10th place. If you hung out long enough to check your placing with the rest of us, you'd know there was another story to that......

good point

SO LET ME GUESS THAT HE WAS LAPPED. MAYBE HE TOOK A FREE LAP WHEN HE CRASHED ON THE SECOND LAP.IF THAT IS THE CASE I GUESS HE SHOULD HAVE STAYED OUT OF THE SPRINT AND LET THE GUYS THAT WERE ALL ON THE SAME LAP HAVE AT IT.

Anonymous said...

from what i gather, that was a big issue on saturday, crashing or gettin dropped and rollin around to catch back on.. doesnt constitute a FREE lap, like a number of guys pulled in the 35+ field

Anonymous said...

GOT IT. ACTUALLY THERE PROBABLY WERE A FEW OF US THAT WOULD HAVE PAID FOR A FREE LAP THAT COURSE WAS TOUGH. NICE TO SEE ALL THE GUYS ON THE BACK SIDE WATCHING THE REST SUFFER. I KNOW HE WON THE 45+ RACE BUT I THINK I SAW A FIRST ON SATURDAY RAY D NEVER DROPS OUT HE MAY FINISH 15 MINUTES AFTER THE FIELD BUT DROP OUT THATS A TOUGH COURSE.

Wow, nice to see rules enforced sometimes, these days.

Well, it was the state crit, serious business.

someone needs to TURN THEIR CAPS OFF!

stop shouting.

sounds like blair cheated, and thought he would get away with it. officials have eyes in the back of their heads, ya know.

That was a great race, great course! Great mix of riders, and a cliff-hanger finish for the 1-2's.

Nice job to the promoters and riders.

Can anyone tell me how a bunch of guys went down in the second lap in our race (1-2s)?

Regarding the Blair incident, from what I saw Ben Whitehead went through the turn around too wide with Blair on his wheel. Ben went up and over the curb on the sidewalk and straight back in the field. Blair didn't he stopped short in front of the curb and then took a free lap, he also not only took an illegal free lap, but also jumped into the break which formed on the backside during his free lap. So technically he did two things wrong. That was what I saw of the situation. Maybe Blair didn't realize that he was jumping into the break maybe he did??

Who's Grant Kidd?
And what's an EXTANG?

Anonymous said...

Grant Kidd/Extang? well, extang is Lathrup or lathrup is Extang, the Extang team morphed into Ford no boundries who morphed Fod/giant, who grew to Lathrup....Extang had guys like Dave Oniel, Nick Durrie, Blair dudley, Super Dave, Grant was one of the early/mid 90's ragers.

There was some serious garbage in the masters 30/35/40+ race too. At least one rider who was involved in an early crash sitting out HALF THE RACE, then getting back in the lead group for a top 5 place. Meanwhile several others caught behing the crash chased there balls off for most the race - most didn't reconnect.
