Summer Time Trial Series Wrap Up!

Posted in

Good morning everyone, I want to start out by thanking all of the participants in the Summer Time Trial Series. Overall, we raised $205 for the club, gave out $60 in lottery winnings – thank you so much to those that donated your winnings back to the club. Last night was our 5th and final night of the time trial series, we had 10 riders to participate, and we also have a new member to Cape Fear SORBA – Mike Ross, Welcome aboard Mike!

Overall the time trial series was very successful, we met our goal of the money we hoped to raise, got a few new members, but most of all we had a lot of fun. Before I get to the times, I’d like to thank Greg for helping setup and break down every night, Austin for helping me keep information posted, and all of you that came out and took part.

Ok… now for the times…

Barry Wray: 22.56
Tom Condon: 23.02
Steve Mangiacapre: 23.48
Greg Brinson: 24.00
Marshall Brown: 24.33
Jere Dearing: 24.54
Mike Ross: 27.01
Brannon Thompson: 27.24
Corey Curtis: 28.08
Kirsten Jones: 36.34

We had so much fun doing these events, we are thinking about having a couple in July, August, and maybe September… Stay tuned for more information.

See you at the trails,

Jay

Time Trial Update Week #4: New winner and fast time!

Posted in

With the clouds rolling in and distant rumbles of thunder, we were barely able to hold this week’s time trial before the thunderstorms rolled through Brunswick County. We had another good turnout, 10 riders with a few more new faces coming out to participate. The night’s lottery winner was new comer Gary Coates – Congratulations Gary! Also, we saw Barry Wray set a new fastest lap time of 22.46 – GREAT JOB Barry!!

In addition! We have decided that we will run one final time trial next week at the Brunswick Nature Park due to the popularity of the series this summer! So come on out to the 5th and final week and see if you have the speed to win! And if you don’t you could still walk out with half of the money raised that day!

Posted in ,

*Austin’s Note: Sorry for getting this up a bit late, been a rough end to the week and playing catch up! Hope to have even more people come out next week for the 4th time trial in the series! There has been discussion about doing the Time Trial a 5th time on the last Thursday of the month due to popular demand. Stay tuned for that. Anyway, here is the wrap up!*

Wow, another great night at Brunswick Nature Park! We had 12 riders show up to participate, and this week there was one second between the fastest, second fastest, and third fastest times. Jere Dearing won tonight’s lottery and chose to donate his winnings back to the club – Thanks Jere!

Well, here’s what you are all are waiting to see….the times.

Thanks again to everyone that’s been coming out and taking part the last three weeks. Steve has won yet again, but its clear that the competition to take him down is getting fierce! Both Bill Sessoms and Armando Sanchez where hot on his heels! Can they take him down next week? Only time will tell!

I also want to give a big thank you to Marshall and Spencer from the Waccamaw Trailblazers that have made the drive down from Myrtle Beach each week to take part, Thanks guys!

Time Trial Reminder for June 16th

Posted in ,

Just wanted to remind everyone that we will be holding our third time trial in our 2011 Summer Time Trial series this coming Thursday night at 6:30pm. Last week we had a total of 13 riders participate, so our goal is to have at least 10 more this week.

Can anyone beat the seemingly unbeatable Steve? That is the question! Come out and see if you have the legs to stop him from winning for the third consecutive week!

Also, currently the event is expected to be a go but the weather report is calling for a 60% chance of scattered Thunderstorms. We will ride if the rain has been light or is light, however if it has rained hard alot that day or is raining hard at the start of the time trial the event will be canceled and made up on the last Thursday of the month. We do not want to damage the trail or the riders!

If the event is canceled early in the day an email will be sent out by Secretary Jay Pearce letting everyone know!

Come on out to Brunswick Nature Park and take part, or just come out and cheer the others on! Remember you don’t have to win to receive half of the entry fee money! Its a random raffle! All you have to do is show up and ride!

Hope to see you there,

Austin Fenwick
