Points Hound: Cogs sits in 1st, Tamra 11th of 17 Riders

After the first two WMRRA rounds, Cogs’s 3rd and 2nd overall finishes puts him in the point lead with a total of 58.  He has benefitted from some of the top racers’ hard luck, but it’s not all from charity by any means; he’s also raced very cleanly and consistently.  That’s what it takes to finish top 3 at the end of the season. 

“It doesn’t mean much; there are some faster guys that are going to knock me off the top–probably next round–so I’ll enjoy it for now!” 

Tamra is in a 3-way tie for 11th with Simon-Pierre Smith and Shelly Matthews.  We’re hoping for her to maintain a healthy mid-pack position.  As the grid sizes increase, we don’t think it’s going to change her finishes too much, especially at the rate she has improved–it just gives her more racers to beat!
