Say it ain't so?

Just got the e-mail with the Southern Classic Series & our hometown race was noticeably absent.  Sad

SO

This is what happens when people stop attending and a fund raiser becomes no longer financially viable.

Plans to do something in 2018, apparently it takes that long to set up. Its my fault.  I was lousy President.

The board had to make a tough call regarding this year's event.  We're working hard to put something new together that will be really awesome.  Do you want to help Cathi?!?  Smiley

None of this Tom.  You da man, and your tenure as President was nothing but positive!!!  Thanks for everything you did, all the projects you got started and finished, and for everything you're still doing!

I would love to see this come back as one big lap race, doing pretty much all the trails (yes even East Main FIRST)... it would be a great singlespeed only race too.... I wish I knew who to talk to about this! 

US National White Water Center Presents Singlespeed-a-palooza
Open SS
Sport SS

East Main > North Main > Figure 8 > North Main > Carpet > South Main > Tower 93 > Wedge > Goat Hill > Toilet Bowl > Weigh Station > Finishes the same way the Weds night races do....

Where do I sign up!?

Do I need to talk to Neal?

You would probably need to talk to usnwc.  It's been years since they brought on any new races that were not part of their in-house race series.  Most races managed by independent promoters at usnwc have been happening annually since before the Whitewater Race Series was conceived, and are sort of "grandfathered in."

There was a big single speed race there in 2011 and 2012, but very few people attended.  It was called NCSSC, and I doubt they'd be terribly interested in reviving it.

There was talk within the Whitewater race series about creating a race that did every trail onsite, which means it would grow in distance over time.  Maybe they'll get that going next year.
