What is it about Sprint racing that brings out the grimace? Photos Courtesy of Dennis Curran

After months of preparation the carnival season has finally begun.  Starting in Lake Placid and continuing with a “home” carnival hosted by St. Mike’s at Sleepy Hollow a week ago the season has brought a mixture of highs and lows.  We had some solid individual performances in Lake Placid but the weekend left most of us hungry for better results.  St. Michael’s carnival saw a return to form for many people including a breakthrough performance from Sophomore Alex Howe who came within 11 seconds of the win.  While the results were better our best days are still in front of us.  This past weekend we did a Time Trial with St. Mike’s and Middlebury to test out the classic course at Trapp Family Lodge in Stowe.  The conditions are good and we are excited to be a part of hosting the EISA and NENSA Eastern Cup races this Saturday and Sunday!
