Wells Fargo Tuesday Night Crit Series Kickoff

It was a great evening at balloon fiesta park with over 100 local racers ready to engage in that all American race - The Crit!
In the B race SSMTC had a strong showing with 7 riders. Immediately they were active in the break and in the peloton. In the finale Dax Kastrin took 2nd after being in a two-man break for most of the race; and Jason Quenzler took the field sprint and 3rd on the podium - a great showing for the first race of crit season.
In the A race there were 5 SSMTC jerseys (several of the B racers wanted more) and once again the race was active from the gun. Damian Calvert and Jason Katz (our Specialized sponsor) managed to get away and the two of them worked well together into the final laps - stretching their lead to 1/2 lap for most of the race. Damian managed to get away from Jason with an attack in the last laps and won the race. One of the only times it was OK to beat up on a sponsor! Katz rode a strong race and scored a great 2nd place with little to no racing under his belt this year.
On the infield three shops were represented: Sport Systems was their with the van and trailer; Kickstand had a tent, and the men of Bikeworks were grillin’ and chillin’. Thanks to Wells Fargo and all the event sponsors. When the community comes together a good time can be had by all and judging by the smile factors these are only going to get better, 1 down 7 to go.
