Norfolk Race Series
The Norfolk Race Series saw its largest field of entries to date on August 16 as several team members made their way from the OMaha and Lincoln areas to race and enjoy a post-race get together.
In the Women’s B/C race, Whitney Porn demolished the field while Jill Vernon put in a strong performance for a decisive second place finish. Chris Ingram and Glenda Skiba battled for third with Chris taking the last podium spot. Christine Zorad pedaled her way in for her first ever crit race finish.
Shane Vernon soloed in for the Mens C race.
In Juniors, the grudge match of the year took place between Clayton and Benjamin Spray. The pre-race trash talk fueled an inspired performance by Clayton to take the win over a hard-charging Benjamin.
The Mens A?B race was the largest and fastest field of the night, and its size rivaled that of many weekend races in the area. Off the line a group formed that was eventually pared down to four; Dan Spray, Rich Anderson, Joe Savoie, and Steve Cross. The group resisted attempts by hard-chargers Craig Harding, Dan Zieg, and Colby Turpin to catch on and finished in a bunch sprint with Steve Cross taking the win. Joe Savoie, Dan Spray, and Rich Anderson followed in that order.
Following the race, most of the riders retired to TJ’s Sports Bar for dinner and drinks.
The next race in the NRS is a time trial August 30.
