Category 1-2-3

- Russ Walker and Shawn Casey broke away from the main field halfway thru this 60-minute race. Shawn won both of the first two primes offered with Gordon Konrad of GNO taking a pack prime later in the race from Joe Otero and Kendrick Perry (generally agreed to be the best sprint seen the entire day). In the final 3/10's mile finish to the line, Russ moved away from Shawn to win by 4 seconds. The main pack came in 2:44 later.
