VCQ #1 April 8th

Thank you to all who took time away from your families on Easter Sunday to come out and race. We had two good sized groups lined up to contend from bragging rites for the first Velodrome Challenge Qualifier. The Keirins were hotly contested in both groups through the qualifying heats and all the way to the final. Sam "Maximus"Milroy dominated the A group finale by coming from the back  and riding clear to the finish line with only Dave McCook able to stay on his wheel. Unfortunately Alen V. and Alex Farioletti brushed elbows coming to the finish line and Alen's front wheel came off the ground just a few inches causing him to take his tumble. Neither rider did anything wrong, just a result of both riders driving hard to the line with elbows out and heads down. Best wishes for a speedy recovery Alen.  In the A group scratch race Dave McCook remained calm and in control by attacking early, but then being reeled in. He waited until the final lap to chase down the breakaway and come around for the win. Zachary Scott also set himself up as the man to beat in the B/C group scratch race by attacking, chasing and finally winning from the front. The A group points race was exciting and challenging with Rob Evans edging out Martin Acosta by one point for the win. All sprints were fiercely contested with numerous riders scoring points. The B/C group also rode hard to try and score points but our man Zachary still came away with the win. In the A group miss&out two riders attempted to a breakaway early on but could not hold off a fast moving field. Dave McCook and teammate Martin Acosta controlled and dominated in the end to take the top two places. Once again Zachary Scott showed that his other wins of the day were not just pure luck, by finishing ahead of every one else for the final B/C race.
