KC Sprints Home Opener 4, Saturday!!

I'm a little lagging in getting KC Sprints stuff done this year. I'm not sure why. I think a lot of it has to do with having no events before now. Well unless you count the debacle that was another attempt at having an event in Topeka.
We swear that town is cursed for us.

No worries. There is a chance to redeem ourselves this Saturday at the Buzzard Beach:



If you are a FaceBooker you can get all the details HERE but if you are at all familiar with how KC Sprints works (its pretty much classified as flying by the seat of our pants) you know the drill.

Tournament sign ups and Grudge Matches begin at 8 PM
Tournament racing begins at 9 PM
Tournament racers are racing for the chance to win prizes from our fabulous sponsors:
Twin Six, Surly, Eighth Inch, PBR, Urban Velo, All Hail the Black Market, Giro, Midwest Cyclery, Portland Design Works, and more!

For those of you that don't follow the KC Sprints blog, FB page or even just my stuff you may not know that this season Jones has taken upon himself, in his drunken boredom, to design our posters.
Granted the first one was more due to our "commissioned artist" taking his sweet time to get the poster ready. Jones got a bit anxious and started doodling. This was the result:

 

Realistically, considering the drunken state of the artist (or just the artist), its not too bad.
You can see the inspiration for Jones' creation in all its gruesome glory on his Flickr page.
Blah.
Pretty sure Corky will never live down being our "go to" puker at KC Sprints events.
I think she has puked at every event she has been at.

Example 1
Example 2
Example 3

We love her all the same though. How can we not? She takes our slogan seriously.




See you all Saturday night. Perhaps it will be your chance to use the bucket.

KC Sprints @ The Replay Lounge for the Octoginta

Fall is in the air and its time again for the Octoginta.

What is this Octoginta you ask?
Well, its the annual end of the season road ride in Lawrence, KS and this is its 41st year.
Its a big weekend in the old L-town and this year its only gotten bigger.
Not only is there the actual Octoginta ride, a 40 or 80 mile ride through the beautiful northeast Kansas country side, on Sunday the 10th.
There is also a Time Trial (@7AM), Tour de County (@9:30AM), a Gravel Grinder (also @ 9:30AM), & a swap meet (@ 2PM) all on Saturday the 9th.

But the absolute best part...
as the opening act for the weekend....
yours truly...
KC Sprints!

So, where do you need to be on Friday October 8th?
At the Replay Lounge in Lawrence, KS of course!
The Replay will once again play host to KC Sprints.
This time around the race is a benefit for the lovely ladies of the Women's Free State Racing Team !

So come on out. Cheer your friends, race your enemies, drink some beers and have a good ol' time.

The fine print:
Registration is at 7 p.m. and racing begins at 8. Register for the tournament ($5), grudge matches ($2), or both. Proceeds go to Women's Free State Racing Team. Ages 21 and over.

Use the Bucket...

Thanks for the good times Lincoln
