Time Trial Results - August 1, 2022
A Spaghetti Western Saga
The Man with No Name entered the parking lot with a quiet, cool confidence. Neither boisterous nor boastful, the one time State Time Trial Champion needed to prove nothing. Having already achieved a fistful of dollars, he was merely looking for a few dollars more. But what he found was the Good, the Bad, and the Ugly. Even though Angel Eyes gave him a good test of his mettle, The Man with No Name was still fastest in the land. But he wasn't the recipient of the Good this night. He and Angel Eyes were bested by the Italian Enigma. A stranger in an even stranger land, the Italian Enigma swept the desert in a mighty dust storm to best the previously fastest female ever in the land. History was made, but not for The Man with No Name nor Angel Eyes. Their future glory would have to wait another day.
The cast of this Sergio Leone tale:
The Man with No Name Tom Burke (Set the fastest time of the year for anyone in 2022 at 31:39)
Angel Eyes Ralph Buckingham (In a record attempt, set the second fastest time of anyone this year at 31:46. The Men's record is still held by Jason Swiatlowski in 1996 of 30:27)
The Italian Enigma Claudia Ferreira (Broke the Amateur and Professional Women's records with a 34:28. Marie Dersham's record of 34:53 was set in 2016. That's on chip seal folks. She's national caliber, this Italian Enigma)
The Bad, and The Ugly The Wind and the Chip Seal
