January 3, 2008 – The third night of racing saw Symmetrics hold onto their 2-lap lead over Slipstream Sports, maintain their 3-lap lead over Health Net, and extend their lead to 5 laps over Successful Living. There is also a fight for 5th and 6th position, with local Team Devo losing one lap of their two-lap lead over US National.

Health Net scored two wins tonight, with a win in the first Madison and in the 1-rider Pt-a-Lap race. Symmetrics won the 1-rider Points race, and Slipstream came out on top in the second Madison of the night.

Thursday night will feature a 100-lap Madison and a 200 lap Madison, as well as two 1-rider races. The long 200 lap Madison should provide an opportunity for an extended attack on Symmetrics lead, going into the final nights of racing.
