This past weekend was the annual ACA Award Party to wrap up the 2009 season. Mix1 was very well represented in the 35 Plus and 45 Plus categories. Jimi Gibson took the top step in the 45 Plus Best All Around Rider (BAR) competition, with Matt Vawter not far behind in 2nd place. In fact the 45 Plus team dominated the entire year with 3 riders in the top 5 (Chris Leggere was 5th) and if the competition was not concerned yet, we also recruited the 4th place rider in Peter Ismert. As a result of their domination the 45 Plus team also ran away with the Best All Around Team (BAT) completion. Congratulation to all the 45 Plus guys. On the 35 Plus side Matt Segur nailed down 3rd in the BAR award with a strong top 5 in the last race of the year. Marc Holbet managed to place in the top 10, despite racing less then most of the other contenders. The 35 Plus team made a valiant effort to win the BAT title as well (with some help from the ageless wonder Jimi Gibson), but came up 7 points short. None the less a fine 2nd place in the 35 Plus BAT.
The bar has been set very high from 2009. The team is busy training for 2010 and the first races are about a month away. Hopefully the entire Mix1 team can build on a great 2009 and take that into 2010!
