With the 2010 Lucarelli & Castaldi Cup still fresh in the history books, the Kissena Cycling Club is pleased to announce the Law Firm of Lucarelli & Castaldi will once again return as the title sponsor of the 2011 Lucarelli & Castaldi Cup Prospect Park Series and the 2011 Kissena Tuesday Night Race Series at Floyd Bennett Field.
"We’re excited to have Lucarelli & Castaldi return as the title sponsor" says Charlie Issendorf, Race Director of the Kissena Cycling Club. "I’ve been receiving a ton of emails from riders since the 2010 Lucarelli & Castaldi Cup finished just a week ago saying how much they enjoyed the series. We had a record number of riders with every Category 5 race selling out in advance and 6 of the 7 Pro/Category 1-2-3 races also selling out. Without the title sponsorship of Lucarelli & Castaldi the overall series competition would not be possible and as always I encourage everybody to support the companies that support your races".
Phil Castaldi, one of the partners in Lucarelli & Castaldi, continued "2011 will mark our third year sponsoring the Kissena Race Series. This year was our first as title sponsor and we could have not be more pleased. As many New York City racers know, my brothers and I have competed in all the Brooklyn races for most of our lives and this is my way of giving back to the sport".
The 2011 Lucarelli & Castaldi Prospect Park Series dates will be announced this November and the 2011 Kissena Tuesday Night Race Series at Floyd Bennett Field will start May 3, 2011.

This is great to hear – this rider, at least, is grateful. And more importantly, this rider has all but memorized the L&C number for any legal recs that come my way.
Much thanks to L&C!
Having a title sponsor for a series of park races whose entry fees are approaching the point of being excessive is a little weird.
Huge thanks to L&C and to all of the tireless efforts by Charlie I. A fantastic race series that’s sure to become even more popular given the consistency of the events, the promoter and the sponsor! Great job – this racer will be seeing you out there making every conceivable effort to be out front in the break away!! Thanks again
this is great. thank you!
so excessive that the race sold out every week. sure guy.
I’m glad to hear that everyone enjoyed the series. I rode all but one of the races and was truly impressed with the hard work that Charlie puts into the series. Between the sprints, the KOM/hill, and the overall leader’s jersey, it certainly puts some excitement into racing in Prospect Park. I am looking forward to 2011.
My office is always available to anyone who needs our services. I represent a lot of the local racers. We will continue to support the sport and hope that the NYC cycling community continues to support us. The consultation is always free.
We handle personal injury claims and property damage claims. I don’t take a fee on a rider’s property damage claim. If your bike gets totalled in a car accident, I understand that you will probably need the money to purchase a new bike. Everything we recover for your bike goes to you.
