Another good night of racing at Livermore. The crowd was still fairly small, but every one present had a good time.
Some excellent races, with plenty of overtaking. The field was a bit short of riders. We are hoping this is due to the fact that many of them are saving themselves and their equipment for the Auburn Track Championship next Friday, after which we expect a full turn out. Promoter Jesse Ochoa even got out and rode himself, after a 6 year retirement.

Again, I emphasise that these are not the official results. They were what I managed to scribble down. This week's excuse for errors is that I got conscripted as turn 3 flagman, 5 minutes before the first race. Its difficult trying to concentrate on finishing positions when watching for people falling down all around me, then trying to fill in the program in the SHORT DURATION BETWEEN RACES. I probably wont get asked to do it again because in the process of watering the track I managed to soak another flagman and the promoter (through his open truck window!)
