Roasted.






Without going into a long drug out race report, Most all are well aware of the awesome weekend of crit racing The Metro area had going this past Labor Day. So in brief The Texas Roadhouse MULTI...national champion roasted the 1/2 field at Erie street and the revolving Debates race. Well fuck it its gonna be drug out so if your short on time, check back as you can see it in brief via a youtube video.

Saturday had alot riders feeling the effects of short course in Windsor, as only about 12 riders made the 1/2 cut. Kelly Benefits Ryan Roth took that one.

With the small of garlic, Channel #5, or maybe Winsong perfume, stale Cigarette smoke, and sweaty racers in the air, we must be at Erie st. YUP always the best crit of the year, we compare it to the INDY 500, Fast and smooth. Masters 35+ got mixed with the 3's and saw mass CHAOS, as DannyK went solo with 5 to go only to be REELED in on the last 1/2 lap Team Race Dan Leferbe former Jet fueler got the win. 45+ was shear confusion as well getting lumped with the CAT4, James Brooks another Canuck beat out some tough comp.
Pro 1/2 was stacked, with Jet Fuel, Texas Roadies, All the Lathrup boys, The PH posse, and the imfamous DARKO only a few notibles were MIA. When the gun went off it was game on and wasnt long before a few favorites got off in a break of Paul Martin, DARKO, and Sven, or is it Steve Howard, they kept the gap of 15-30 seconds all the way to the line, but only finished seconds ahead of the chasing field. As they toyed with each other and nearly got nabbed. by a hard chargin Ben Renkema, right now this very minute this guy is the king of field sprints in MI..WHEW
Monday, labor Day , a day of cookouts beer and lawn dwrats., yea.. The annual Caduiex cafe crit, well its another year and another venue. This one although it lacked the flavor and spectators of the years past it still was a race for the strong. Merril Collins won the Elite womens field 2 wins within 24 hrs she's HOT.
Masters 35+ got a shake up with alot 1/2 doin the 2 for one, throw in Jon the ACE Card, Paulo Eugine PH's Jeff koch, DANNYK, etc.. The race blew apart half way with Jeff Koch takin a solo win. masters 45+ got treated by Saturn of Toledo Jim Regan, man is he really that old? Cat3 was dominated by canadians as they took the top 8 spots. THE MIGHTY.Bruce Camancho took out Frank the MAN Kistler of saturn of Toledo, the 55+ field.
and what about the 1/2 field if you see half of the 1/2 miscners ask them, as they served a cookout of punishment from some Texas Roadhouse dude again. riders would come off lap after lap and than at the 1 hour or so mark Texas Roadie strongman lapped the field and decimated those that werent breathing with half a lung. a dismal field of about 12 clung to life near the end, and when it was said and done Renkema grabbed another field sprint. Jon Card got 7th DOCSAVAGE railed in for 8th just ahead of the 455 Riveria.
DAM whatta weekend for racing great weather, decent turnouts and and lotsa happy people, hats off to the 02 crew! see next year!
