Race Report - Week 6 (10/17/07)
HOUSTON, TX – Yes Virginia, there is a YettiClause, as he dispensed goodness and joy to the YettiCross Nation with near perfect weather and a course loved by all. Our ever-growing group of spectators again enjoyed searing hot racing action. In fact our very own King of Clean Tony Phongsy became a spectator this week as his bike rested comfortably at home. He was seen enthusiastically ringing the bell for the final lap for those willing to step into the ring of battle. We hope that his bike is well rested for this upcoming weekends cross action.
Chris “Please Cat me up” Trevelise again came down from Austin and put it to the H-Town boys in the C Class. Could it be karma kicking in as he was seen discussing the finer points of driving with Houston’s finest? Newcomer Maurie Wilson rode a solid race and finished second, with West End Bicycles Scott Minard taking third. A much more contrite Tony Dehore was quoted after the race “
Veni, vedi, vici, is how Damen Sistrunk described his race this past Wednesday, as he was seen mid pack in the A Class. And this was after a 15 second start gap no less. We hope he enjoys his field promotion to the big leagues as it’s coming in Week 7. Jeff Sechelsih put in a strong effort taking second place. Holt Harlan broke out the shiny new Yeti Arc-X rig and it delivered him a third place podium spot.
Nate Winkelman brought his “A Game” for the main event as he again pushed the pace with his wicked fast fad 29er. It was a classic YettiCross between Wink and Mitch “The Mauler” Comardo, as they duked it out for top honors. In the end Wink had just a bit more in the tank and took The Mauler down on the last lap. Leonard Gremillion had one of his best efforts of the season placing a respectable third. Word on the street has it that Brandon Cowart’s bike suffers from the rare disease Automysophobia which is a fear of getting dirty. May we have a moment of silence for this crippling killer.
The epic battle between Lisa Gibson and Catherine Marchah did not materialize this week, as Catherine was taking a well-deserved break after her outstanding ride in Mexico at the Chupacabra race. Lisa gladly accepted the first place schwag this past week.
Team YettiCross would again like to recognize all those who help make this series such a pleasure to produce. Without y’all the poor Yetti would be lost. Thank you for helping him to retain some semblance of sanity.
