[NCNCA] "Oh yeh baby"?

[Jonathan Lee]

I think you can look at it two ways...more with aggressive and attacking
styles of racing can come faster and usually safer races.

Or constant attacking and jockey-ing for position might lend to sketchier
racing.

My thoughts are it is good for racing in general to motivate folks to push
the pace and themselves... not only does it "separate the wheat from the
chaff" more but it usually also keeps the pace up...slower crits seem to be
the more dangerous ones..

Just my take on it...i m for it myself.

Let's hope this is a parody, intended to call out idiot behavior and
bike-handling -- not motivate or reward it.  

We hardly need any more inducements to bad judgment than good racing already
provides.

For the 2008 crit racing season, Cycles Gladiator Wine and the
V.O.S. Gladiator Racing Team will proudly present the First
Annual 'Uninhibited Racer Awards' for the most "aggressive" racers in
each of the eight major categories at participating criteriums in the
Northern California region. (Pro/1/2, E3, E4, W1/2/3, W4, 35+ 1/2/3, 35+
4/5, 45+)

Throughout the 2008 racing season, Cycles Gladiator Wine and V.O.S.
will offer a bottle of fine vintage wine for each of eight
categories of participating criterium races to the rider whose
performance in that race best exemplified the vivacious, uninhibited
style of a true "Cycles Gladiator."

The winners will be judged by criteria to be set by the individual race
promoters. The wine will be awarded at or near the conclusion of the race.
All
racers may compete for the title, but only racers 21 years of age or
older are eligible for the wine prize.

The winners' names will be recorded on a special web page devoted to the
competition, hopefully with some pictures of the Gladiators in "combat."

At the conclusion of the season, Cycles Gladiator Wine and VOS will
award the title of "Uninhibited Racer" to the individuals who were the
most aggressive Gladiators in each of the eight categories.

The following crits have already decided to participate:
  Cherry Pie
  Norlund Crit (Santa Rosa)
  Tri-Flow Menlo Park
  Albany Crit
  Benicia Crit
  Chico Crit

Teams and promoters who wish to have their event included in the 2008
competition should contact Zebraman at jraphael at co.napa.ca.us. There is
neither cost nor obligation to have the awards for your event.

Dedicated to having MORE FUN ... oh yeh, baby..... V.O.S. Racing Team and
Cycles
Gladiator Wine!
