Ironclad Criterium and Street Sprints 2011

The time has come once again to come to what we feel are the best one-day events on the OBRA Calendar, our Street Sprints (now dubbed SPEED NEVER SLEEPS) and our Criterium in downtown Hillsboro.

WHAT ARE STREET SPRINTS? Simple: 4 riders across, held starts (meaning you’re clipped in, someone’s holding you up). Straight line sprints, no drafting. 250ish meters. Top 2 go on, bottom 2 go home. Although this year we’re going to seed an A and a B bracket out of all the starting racers, so EVERYONE is guaranteed 2 heats at a minimum, for a measly $12. Show up, go straight.

WHERE ARE THE STREET SPRINTS?: This year the course sits one block longer to the north, so we’ll place the start line on NW 13th just at NW Raleigh, and we’ll end just before NW OVERTON so we’re angling about a 275 meter sprint. The return will be on the east side of Nw 13th only, A little more sprint, and a lot more stopping distance than last year.

WHAT CAN’T I DO? You can’t draft, you can’t come off your line, you can’t race with aerobars.

WHAT CAN I DO? You can race the funkiest race in Obra, in the “tunnel of sound” of spectators, have a blast, win stuff, look cool, and then go get beers at Bridgeport.

Last year’s success is what we’re building on, and we promise a big prize list and lots of cash. Remember last year? Top 3 got PAID, yo, none of this namby pamby stuff for winnings. We’re talking cool merchandise and cool cash, and lots of  both.

RACE REGISTRATION  IS OPEN, GET ON IT!

    Hey Dave. Question for you on the criterium? Is there any cash primes? Also, do you know what the payout is going to be and how deep? Thanx. Matt

    [...] Ironclad Twilight Street Sprints: The Twilight Street Sprints on NW 13th will be a 3.5 block straight up “Cutting heads” sprint with an assisted start and a lottery draw. Anyone can race anyone, the only separation will be girls will race girls, and boys will race boys. There will be a separate fixed-gear class men/women. No drafting. Top two go on, bottom two are done. Racing for cash, pride and fun, since we can’t classify this as a crit, tt, or track event. [...]

    “Four girls enter, two girls leave”, eh?
    People should adopt nicknames like in roller derby.

    I vote for a cargo bike class next year. My Big Dummy and I will be there with racing slicks on.

    Well, it looks like I didn’t get my wish.
