Beer Runner @ Draft Magazine

Draft Magazine is a publication dedicated to fine spirits, and ales, and those who drink them. Check out KC Sprint's blurb. I'm afraid Corky may never live down that photo.

Long live George Wendt!. Happy Friday, y'all.

Humble beginnings


Below is an article from a free local Kansas City publication called INK Magazine about us. Issue came out last year in April in the midst of our opening season about our very first race. As you can see from the photos we were running sprints off of a tiny box with 4 lights up each side, had no way of stabilizing the rollers. Races were limited to 250 meters. Live and learn, live and learn....
Big thanks to Landon, Verb, and Susan of the MPLS Coldsprints crew for showing us what the system could become and giving us a few ideas to improve. Below is a little press from The Pitch we were able to get when they came through back in March '09

Time to get rowdy MPLS style

Springfield photos....

Finally getting around to posting photos. Short race that lasted about an hour and a half, but it was a rough hour and a half for those who were riding. People were maybe taking a break for a round at a time and then hopping back up into the saddle for more.
 
 

 
 


We ended the night with a good ol' beer race. Winner is one who finishes the sprint and downs a beer before their component.


This vomit session happened  right after he won. We gave him a bottle of vodka for it.

 If I can say one thing about the folks in Springfield, they are masochists. Great job to everyone who rode and thanks to everyone who braved the rainstorm and came out to support.

You can find all the photos I took from our trip to Springfield HERE. If you know of anymore floating around out there on the interwebs send me a link at:  kcsprints@gmail.com . We'll be sure to get them posted.

Thanks again for coming out
hugs and pinches

Race Results

Progress at this point is slightly grim.
Springfield was fun though and even with the torrential rain and last minute venue change we had a resonable turnout. James got the big win for the night taking home the trophy, giro sunglasses (which promptly fell off) and other fun prizes to be identified when jones posts the photos. Thanks to all who came out, sorry I'm a klutz and your times are trapped in a headless netbook with an encrypted ssd drive.

oops...


I will have the Springfield results posted when I solve this little problem.

Thanks for the good times Lincoln

Ok here we go....

All our photos from Lincoln are now posted on my flickr and Zeke's flickr. Here are a few of my favorites...






In short, Lincoln kicks ass. Thanks to CVO, Mark from Specialized, and Cornbread for putting the whole thing together and giving us a place to crash. By far the best race we've done to date and we're ready to go back for more. Thank you to all those who came out and participated. You guys sure do know how to have a good time.

All is set and ready to go in Lincoln. System testing before the weekend went well and I got all of my laundry done at the same time

Notice the wet pile of clothes in the midst of all the electronics.


Also received a new flier for the weekend. Same info but brand new look. Lincoln, we're a comin to steal your girlfriends.


And finally, if ANYBODY knows where we are supposed to be in Springfield next weekend it would be great if they could shoot us an email at kcsprints@gmail.com. Venue got changed last minute and I can't get a hold of a contact to get the information. fun fun fun. help is appreciated. i'm getting ahead of myself. one weekend at a time, one weekend at a time.

Before I forget, if you're in the west Des Moines area and looking for some good ol' sprints action, be sure to keep an eye out on goldsprintsfx

System is being tested and races should be starting soon.

Springfield venu change

We will no longer be at the Outland Ballroom on Jan. 23rd. The venue has changed to another bar in Springfield on the same night. We will be in the bar with one or two bands playing. I will have the flier up as soon as the bar sends it over. Slight change but it still will be a damn good time. more to come.......

Open Sprints Stats

I'm working on getting the stats from the last race loaded to the national opensprints tracking page, however the entire system just had a major overhaul (zero level drive rewrite). So it'll happen when it happens, for now take a look at the scene around the country. As always cordially yours and I'm not your fucking mommy go cry to someone else.
