Cal State Season Opener At Bonelli Park

The Cal State season opener popped it's lid yesterday at Smelli Bonelli Park in San Dimas, California. For those of you who don't know, San Dimas is the place where that Hollywood gem "Bill And Ted's Excellent Adventure" was filmed, and the town motto is "Hey, I can see the 10 Freeway from here!" Weather was perfect, and the Backbone Team Pit Area was the first one up..again....as usual. Open for business by 8am, teammmates begin piling in to the brand new XPEDO ez up and preparing their machines for the days work. Vegas Bob, Vanessa, Roger, Heidi, Darter, Bert, Ryan, Randy, Christine, Michelle, Dawn, Fuzzy, Abel, and everyone else looked happy to race.
Darter, Heidi and Vanessa, recently avowed to race Expert, TOTALLY had great races. Heidi took first, Venessa took third (only to Joy D., who would have had the THIRD FASTEST PRO TIME!) , and Darter broke out the Pythons to have a great Expert finish. Vegas Bob wanted to kill his class after months of training and had a great race. He went out too hard on lap one, but we will see that he chills a bit more next time, right? Bert and Ryan were wearing the coveted Nat. Champ Jerseys that Bert earned in Sonoma last year, and Ryan finished THIRD!
The coolest thing EVER was ROGER who frikkin' ROQUED the Clydesdale class! great job Roger, you killed out there!
Dawn Lyons came by to hellp feed and pre-ride, and looked great her new team kit. Even ABEL VACA came by, just twenty-four hours after landing in Burbank from a year in China! That's team spirit!
Thanks to ALL of you for coming out to race, scream, yell, and support the team. It was great to see so many of you out so early in the season.
