Last night was the first race of a weekly race series at a car racing track called Pacific Raceways. There are a number of options for race courses on the track, but last night was a flat course. There was a reasonable field in cat 4/5 (I'd say 30-40 riders) considering it was pretty wet, although the rain stayed away. The pace was kept fairly high through the race, not least by team mates Ryan and Joe working very well off the front. But the flats are all about sprinting. There are 2 prime laps (in about a 8/9 lap race) and then the finish. I won the 2 primes comfortably, probably due to people being hesitant in the first race of the season. At the finish, my positioning was poor, and I found myself at the front waiting for others to make their move - and they did! I competed well, and it was a tight finish with less than a wheel length between first and third - I got third.
A good start to the series for me, and a good chance to get some proper sprints in.
