Friday Night Winter Track Racing

Dunc Gray Velodrome, Sydney, August 12, 2005

By Paul Craft

Friday night was a night of records; firstly it was the record coldest night in 20 years. Secondly it was the record lowest turn out of riders for 2005 with 65 entrants. Were the two records related?

The feature race of the night was the Veloflex Tyres 1km wheel race for div 1. Even before this race had begun all interest was directed towards Canberra's Kial Stewart who had the prestigious starting mark of -30m. That's 30m behind scratch. This is the equivalent to a Hors category climb. Hors meaning outside categorisation

The race itself turned into the Kial Stewart show. From the start Kial quickly crossed the 40m gap to Patty Bolan and then he found his position in the long train of riders that by the end of lap two were almost all together. On the bell lap Kial had positioned himself within striking distance of the lead and with 150m to go he hit the front turning on the speed that we have come to expect from the ACT flash to take a clear victory. Current duel Master's World champion David Willmott came home for second with Grant Fraser third.

Felice from Cycling Projects is the Australian distributor for Veloflex Tyres, ZeroRh+ sunglasses and Campagnolo componantry. Cycling Projects is the major sponsor of FNWTR. Cycling Projects Veloflex makes the best tubulars and clincher tyres for competitive racing. Veloflex tyres are handmade with selected raw materials, one by one. Visit Veloflex at www.veloflex.it
Along with the Veloflex prizes Kial was also presented with an A4 portrait of the winning moment, presented to him by David Birss from Epson Rd Studios. Check out the excellent photos of the night David has on the website. www.epsomrdstudios.com.au

Kierins are always exciting and FNWTR's didn't disappoint. Many thanks to Kevin Young, who did a fantastic job riding the derny for the rider's enjoyment.
Enjoyment was not a word that Laura Meisel-Dennis was keen to use after she took a nasty fall in the final lap of her Kierin heat. In fact she did use a lot of interesting words to describe her thoughts but enjoyment was not one of them. Poor Laura actually landed on her chest and slid a good 40m collecting Walter Marchado along the way. Walter seemed ok however, his front wheel was not (see photo)

The other great race of the night was the round 4 Miss'n'out point score, which is a race that combines endurance, speed and calculative tactics. This race starts as a Miss'n'Out but as the riders are eliminated they actually drop behind the motor bike which is riding 100m behind. When all riders are eliminated the motor bike sets the pace for 3 more laps before pulling off, leaving a mass Kierin style finish. The winner is determined by the amount of accumulated points over the two sections. The smartest rider of the night was clearly James Schneider who placed high in the elimination section than won the Kierin to take first place.

A big reminder to all patrons, that next FNWTR will not run due to a DGV prior booking. FNWTR will recommence in a fortnights time August 26.
