Wheels on Willy Race Report

From Darin;

Too early for a race; 9:00am. It was sunny but cold (low 40's), and windy. The course was pretty fun but with a lot of stuff to run into on the sides of the road. There were more mattresses around the course than in the Bunny Ranch in Nevada (Editor's note: I'm not quite sure how Darin would know this. But I need to find out!). The pace was fast with some breaks and primes. Russ and I stayed in the middle of the 50+ pack for most of the race. I moved up with three laps to go and finished at the back of the bunch sprint. Russ was in the second group sprint. There was a crash right before the last turn that took a couple of guys out. Just like the Whitnall Park crash; they ran out of road and hit the curb.

(Editor's note #2: Darin failed to mention anything about the sleeping arrangements the night before the race. It is the editor's understanding that he and Russ shacked up in Madison after the Circuit of Sauk race. I think the readers would find the Saturday night activities much more entertaining than Sunday morning's.)
