Wheels Of Thunder

Marcel, CJ, Pete and LT lined up for the Wheels of Thunder race this year. There was no 45 Plus race at this event, so the field was a bit of a combination of 35's and 45's. Race day dawned sunny, but cold and very windy. This race is know as the dash for cash, with significant cash primes on every lap. Marcel rang the cash register early by taking a prime. CJ was the next to go and got away for a couple of laps. Eventually Pete got up the road with 2 riders from Rio and the bridged to a solo rider off the front. That was it, as the winning break was gone. Behind CJ and Marcel rode at the front and were diligent with the ever shifting cross winds. Pete ended up taking 3rd, as the 2 Rio riders worked him over and got the win. Marcel took 6th and CJ 11th. Not a bad showing.
