Look at Brian in picture from last post. Tranquilly contemplating his 35+ win. While the p1/2 had less crashes than the 35+ (I think I heard at least four there), they made up for it with how spectacular the final lap was.
To set it up: a five man break was up the road for the last 20 minutes or so with two Rocks, Bissel, Reaney, and Justin (BPG). They weren't coming back, though we did bring it down to 15 seconds or so. Last lap CalGiant sets up a train which derailed into turn two. Sounds like Dibble went down first, taking out two teammates or so, Bosch, Henning (broken collarbone), McCook (broken wrist). Kind of blew up all the guys racing for the last twenty money spots (25th was still good for $65!). John held on for 15th. I had to brake some for the crash but got 22nd.
Eric got that last $65 spot. Those three spots were stil worth almost $300 combined. Great to have a payday race like that once in a while. Shell giving back some of that money I've spent driving to the Central Valley for the last two months.
Anyway, Brian isn't doing too bad: more skin gone, and no more bikes to ride, but looks to be back for Madera.

you racked up a bit this weekend, always good racing w/against you. Your a true gentleman on the bike anyway.
Yeah, you know I was in the money for all four races this w/e.
Though for SC p1/2 race that meant I sprinted against Mathis and Neuman for 20th place and a T-shirt. Still officially in the money!
Being 'in the money' sounds better than saying I finished 22nd and 20th!
