The Bryant Tucker 100 HPRA HPV race  - Northbrook, IL July 17th,1999
and the
Cheddar Cheese Challenge HPRA HPV race - Kenosha. WI July 18th 1999

RACE RESULTS:

Northbrook race Commentary 50 Lap - 100 Lap
Kenosha race Commentary - 33 lap -  23 lap - 200 Meter Sprint - Last Man Out

The morning of the Northbrook races was rainy. We waited around at the Northbrook velodrome and finally got a break around noon, and the track dried out soon after that. We canceled the 200 meter sprints, and got right to the 50 and 100 lap races, as the clouds were threatening. The 50 lap race for the stock, tandem, and super stock racers was exciting as usual, with a large number of racers all battling for position. Shean Bjoralt kept Sean Costin honest, and drove him to a finishing time two minutes faster than last year (26:32.83). The 100 lap race for modified and super-modified racers started soon thereafter, and we were able to complete 73 of the 100 laps before rain forced us to stop. It was my first time racing the Barracuda in Modified class, and at first it was scary fast, with speeds around the corners at 35mph. I slowed down to about 32mph by the end of the race.

Thanks to race directors Sean Costin and Bill Murphy for organizing this event, and to all the other individuals who helped officiate, time, and record this event. Thanks to you all it was another great success!

Sunday morning in Kenosha was overcast and a bit foggy, close to 100% humidity, but in the mid 80s, which was cooler than Saturday. The Kenosha velodrome, even though it is the oldest operating velodrome in the United States, was in better condition than the Northbrook Velodrome. The races started a little late, which was not a surprise. The first race was an "Indeterminate Length" race, which means the racers only knew that it would be between 10 and 40 laps for faired classes, and between 10 and 30 laps for the unfaired classes. I started in the back of the pack, and it took nearly 10 laps to catch Jim Curry, who was cruising in excess of 30MPH, and had gotten a very good lead on me early in the race. Thom Ollinger was also running quite well, and gave me a hard time when I went by him. At 33 laps we got the checkered flag. The Stock race was exciting as well, with Sean Costin, and Shean Bjoralt battling it out to the end. Next was the 200 Meter Sprint, the winner of which was awarded the prized cheese head hat. Sean Costin beat me out by half a second, which is remarkable since I was faired, and he was not... The last races of the day were the "miss and out" or "devil takes the highmost" or "last man out" or whatever you want to call it. The stock race was exciting once again, with the two S(h)eans battling for 1st place.
