Thank you to whoever signed me up without my knowing! I hated you for that at first, whoever you are...
But in the end I had a great time! GREAT TIME! Looking forward to the next one, and thank you for the gift certificate for spinning classes!!!
RBI don't worry I have an animated god coming your way that I think you may find useful in the future.

Awesome night, I hope that the Oven and Flying Pigeon LA were able to raise some help some funds for you guys! Team Midnight RIdazz puts in a lot of work.
Tonights Goldsprints was very cool and something I never would have dreamed of having in my shop a few months ago. Do a show anytime! We should have a goldsprints series around LA, with a finals in the parking lot of Pioneer Chicken on Echo Park and Sunset.

Maybe it was the fastest times taken from the finals to determine the winners?
RBI didn't you get your fastest time on your first or second round? Your third you went back to back with your 2nd round race, which made your final round time jump up considerably after two sub-20second times in rounds 1 & 2. Everyone else had a chance to catch their breath before the finals round.
Yeti, RBI- what time did you get in the finals? Maybe they will post all of the results from last night?

20 and change with yetiman. maybe 21. thanks to iain for fucking this up for everyone else by getting there late.

It would be nice if they explained how they got their results at the beginning of a race. I didn't mind not placing since I obviously wasn't the fastest and the only reason I won all 3 races was lucky pairings. It would be nice to see how I did though and not to difficult to run a spreadsheet concurrently with the sprint software.
I actually did a lot of research into getting goldsprint equipment a year ago but as with most things I had no capital. It's nice to see it come to LA.
Coe coe buttaa05.18.09 - 4:19 pm

I forget who it was that told me, but apparently they are looking at making goldsprints a weekly thing at LA Brakeless.

Yeah, with all due to respect to the LB folks (because that was a lot of fun), they really didn't organize the bracketing all that well. I mean, the two fastest racers from the qualifying round should not race each other in the next round. They should be paired with the two slowest racers from the qualifier.
And to switch to single elimination racing for the second round and then have the third round be by time again -- it makes no sense, if for no other reason than a sense of drama. There should be a one-on-one final match, winner take all.
Whatever. We know who won and we know who was fastest. Being able to maintain/gain speed over the night is a skill as well and that is what Lane did. Props.

The only thing I really understood throughout the night over the mic were pedalpedalpedalpedalpedalpedalpedal, So what were the rules?
I also wanted to thank Trickmilla for blasting a few personalized songs while I raced, they got me through, and RBI for buying the Saturday charcoal wool cap off my head off at the end of the night, it was an awesome night.

Plus to add to that, yes this is rare comment coming from me, But i will give some extra props to RBI for racing a race a few seconds before that race, so he was a bit tired. Its like the old NoHo sprints ( RIP ) when one of us would have to race like 3 times in a row.
