Ya, the Tuesday night crit seems to be it's own worst problem. Somewhere along the way, it became way to serious for it's own good. Probably around the time when it started being "scored". I did similar practice crits in SoCal for years, with bigger name pros than here showing up weekly, lap counters, corner marshalls, ect..... and they they were never scored.
I saw the same issues at the training races in Cleveland when I was there. I was worried about this happening when Chris and I first discussed keeping track of points but we decided to go forward and see what happens . It's also the reason we never made the results public. For most people points don't change the way they race but there's always going to be those people who don't get the training concept and race as if it's for $10,000 bucks. So my hope is that people mellow out and we can finish out the last 6 weeks and then see what next year brings. I plan on keeping points again but we may have to make some points clear from the beginning. By the way....it's cool, wet, probably muddy, I bet your thinking cross. Not yet for me, Tour of KC, Gateway Cup, and a few MTB races before it's time to roll out the cross bike.
Like I tell my team, it is above all else, a training race. Fight hard, pull your fair share, sit out if you have to. But enjoy it for what it is. Laugh. tease, etc.. I kinda got scared there about a month or so ago when the police were really making their presence known, and even worse case scenario shutting us down. That is out of our indirect control, but "policing" ourselves and the understanding of etiquette within the training session, all will be good. I can't believe there are only 6 more left...CROSS!
tom,
