Drag Race Summary

The August b.r.alley cat (Drag Race) went very well and was enjoyed by all!!! As you read the route, keep in mind we were exploring the many facets of the word "drag"

The Route:
Begin at Parkview Park (Airline near Goodwood)

at 6:30 when registration began, clothes were available for everyone to dress in drag.

drag race the length of Florida Blvd from Airline all the way to the levee. (7 mi)

At the levee, drag down an entire cigarette (or for those who don't smoke, drag your bike up and down the steps at the levee for 2 minutes)

ride to Dalrymple near Washington. Here, the racers were to drag pallets that had concrete on them 20 or 30 feet. Each pallet weighed 70 or 80 lbs easy...

then, race to Chelsea's where you had to think of something that was a total drag.

the overall route was about 10 miles, along with some pretty intense physical action.

The Results:

Dave ------- DFL!!!!!!!!!
?????? -------- 3rd (was it Keith or Jason? I forgot....)
Clay --------- 2nd
Weeber -------- 1st

Thanks to all 14 racers for coming out. Keep spreading the word to your friends. September 11th is the next race, and will be called the Physical Challenge. Dave and Travis are organizing it. 6:30 registration, 7PM race, clock tower.

b.r.alley cat this Friday!

August 14, 2009 is the 'Drag' Race. We will be exploring the many facets of the word 'drag' so be prepared for 'drag' in all its glory.

6:30 PM registration at Parkview Park (on Airline across from Woman's Hospital between Goodwood and Airline)
7:00 PM race begins

FINISH LINE is at Chelsea's, so only park at the Park if you plan to get back there after Chelsea's.

Helmets are highly recommended as the race does take place on some busier streets. Lights are also highly recommended.

As always, $5, split pot to winners.
