Caravan
Race Series #1, June 29-2002
Baysox
Stadium, Bowie, Maryland
The
Race Series and Course: Caravan Skate Shop in
Beltsville, Maryland brought back their much appreciated race
series for the sixth consecutive year. Intermediate and
Advanced categories skate 10K races, with 2K races for the 12
and under group. Seven more races follow this season and
the awards are better than ever, along with a great new course
this year. Bowie Baysox stadium lot provides 4 left and 1
right turn per lap-- 14 laps per 10K-- fast and mostly flat.
The
Advanced Category Men's Races: We had Capital
Racing, Caravan Race Team, Tour/Labeda (Stephen Carter), WOW,
SOS, Team Fast Forward and others. Last week at the Empire
race at Grant's Tomb, Carter skating solo beat a field of
12 Empire Speed skaters . So, having three Capital Racing
skaters team against him was not a new experience. Carter
seized an opportune moment to break on the final lap when
Capital Racing's Juan Gomez was boxed in, and Carter quickly got
a good gap on the pack. Gomez gave chase and took second
to Carter by a skate length. Capital Racing's Jose Escobar
took third, SOS in fourth and Capital Racing's Eric Lisica in
fifth. With two new age groups in the advanced category
this year (40-49 and 50+), Capital Racing's Michael Dyas took
first in the 40 - 49 masters group despite several doses of
Nyquil multi-symptom cold and flu relief taken the night before.
