Here are the SRS Team Trophy standings after the Predator Keirin Classic. Points are awarded to teams rather than individual riders and this is the only accumulative contest over the course of the Summer Race Series. At the end of the series, only the team on top will be awarded the SRS Team Trophy.

The standings haven’t shuffled much since the previous race. Not surprisingly, Predator Cycling is still in the number one spot but this is the first time that the gap between first and second has actually narrowed — though not by much. Could Engine No.11 be getting in shape to catch up? Velo Club La Grange continues to sit in third place while Major Motion leapfrogged Encino Velo to get into fourth place.

The Predator Keirin Classic was probably the most exciting night of the Summer Race Series so far. Clean and fast Keirin racing for a full crowd of spectators who were placing bets on every heat. Unfortunately the finishing sheet for the Ten Mile Scratch race was misplaced but we do know the top three finishers: 1 - Collin Berry (Get Crackin’), 2 - Scott Cohen (LUX) and 3 - Justin Williams (Cashcall). Many thanks to all the riders who raced hard, all the spectators for placing bets and supporting the track scene and to our sponsors for awarding some very generous prizes to the winners.

Half way through the Summer Race Series and the SRS Team Trophy standings are in. Points are awarded to teams based on performance, participation and volunteering. At the end of the series, only the team on top will win the SRS Team Trophy.

Thanks to a top-notch performance in the Sprint Tournament, the unstoppable Predator Cycling team remain in first place with a massive lead — nearly double that of the next team on the list. These guys have a deadly combination of strong participation and powerful performance. Velo Club La Grange gathered up the troops and climbed up to third place, right behind Engine No.11 who still sit in second place. Chubby Boob Nerd Crew fall down to fourth place despite a strong showing and some points for volunteering while Encino Velo moves into fifth place with a very powerful performance from one of their star junior racers in the A-Class Omnium.

Pedaler’s West 500 was another excellent night of track racing in the Summer Race Series. For the first time, we hosted a full field of A-Class racers and they did not disappoint in providing excitement to the crowd. Neither did the B-Class, C-Class or Sprinters for that matter. Many thanks to Pedaler’s West for hosting a great event and awarding some awesome prizes (along with our generous sponsors). Also thanks to all the racers for riding their asses off and the spectators for cheering them on.

These are the standings for the SRS Team Trophy after the first two events. Points are awarded based on performance as well as participation. At the end of the series, the trophy can only be awarded on one team.

Earning points in the A-Class Omnium and the Sprint Tournament, Predator Cycling shows up strong again and extend their lead in the standings. There’s gotta be another team out there who can take these guys on. Engine No.11 and Chubby Boob Nerd Crew remain at odds with each other in 2nd and 3rd place respectively — it’s interesting to note that these are the only two teams who would be ahead of Predator Cycling if their scores were combined. Velo Club La Grange sent in a few powerful riders to move up to 4th place while DTLA Messengers remain in 5th place just with participation points.

Possibly the best night of track racing that I have seen yet. With full fields of racers in each class, the Golden Saddle boys grilling up a storm and cheering fans gathered around the rails, the 2nd annual Golden Saddle Grand Prix was a night not to be missed. Thank you to all the spectators, racers and of course our generous sponsors for contributing to an unforgettable night of bike races.
