1181.0. "Panasonic was here." by KRAPPA::ROWLEY () Tue May 23 1989 23:03

    	Did anybody go to the Pittsfield Crit. The Panasonic IME team
    was there. They were fun to watch. They took the race hands down.
    The team took the first three places. I was wondering why they were
    racing in this race. Does anybody have any idea.

1181.1IME is based in MASS.IAMOK::WESTERWed May 24 1989 13:455
    I'm not sure, but I think the IME team is based in Mass.  Also,
    they have two of the "best" Mass. racers in Jeff Slack and Frank
    McCormick(or is it Paul?).  Last year I think they were plain old
    IME - Independant Medical Examinars.  I guess they improved they've
    sponsorship.

Yes, the team is based in Mass.  Yes they have the best THREE racers in
Slack, Frank and Mark McCormack (of Plymouth, not to be confused with Alan
and Paul M. or Ireland).  Oh and yes they have improved their sponsorship
as well.  It must be nice to ride 8-speed Dura-Ace Titanium framed bikes.
(I saw them first hand).

They probably did Pittsfield because the Tour De Lowell is so soon.

You think it's fun watching them, try racing with them.  I did yesterday
and all last year down at the Wompatuck training race.  Talk about getting
a good workout.  Yesterday's race averaged 28mph, no exaggeration.  And
it actually was relatively slow the second half.
