Sun Nearly Set on Thursday Night Lights

Turnout was light on a cool night at the track in Blaine.  The women’s field had some of the best racing of the night with most of the big names in attendance.  Brian Crosby was in control in the Men’s 1/2 action, Dan Casper continued to shine in the Cat 3 field, and relative newcomer Dan Frederick of Team Aloe Up dominated the Cat 4/5 field.

In the highlight event of the night Tim Mulrooney took on Doug Swanson in the 3k Pursuit Grudge Match.  Swanson, riding a road TT bike got off to a fast start and closed early on Mulrooney and eventually came within a straightaway.  Swanson fatigued late and could not close the margin but hung on for a blistering time of 3:31. 

The last night of racing in Blaine is next Thursday.  The final night of racing is always and entertaining night, be there.
