Solon CX 2012 Results

Results can be found here:  Solon CX 2012 results

Sorry for any team names that did not get recorded!  Please see USAC website later tonight for the results there with team names for those with USAC license.  I tried to make up for it by adding AVG lap times to see comparisons between fields.

Check back later tonight for the podium pictures.

Anyone with links to other pictures/video, please email me @ chris.nicula on gmail and I will post the links here as well.

Course update

1.45 miles, ground is solid over most of the course.  Few muddy sections but nothing significant.  Death spiral is back, start is slight uphill straight (same as last year), new off camber added, and prickers are cleared well.  See you tomorrow!

Solon CX update


What to expect:

We will be using electronic results system, same as last year, so results will be posted here and uploaded to USAC within 36 hours.


Plan to get heckled!  In addition to the normal hecklers we will also have a professional DJ loaded to call out everyone possible.


Good weather!  We historically have had great weather for this weekend and forecast is 60+ and dry.


Plenty of beer and food available!  SOHO kitchen and bar will be providing a keg and  the Rolling Pig BBQ food truck will be present.


Hope to see you out there, riding or watching the fun.
