also, not to stir the rumor mill, but I've heard that ALL the teams that were at ProGRT #1 will be there. Can anyone confirm this?

There a a large number of top teams confirmed. The pits will be packed. Definately not thrilled with the Parking lot rules, but we have to fit everyone in and make sure there is room to exit. One of the pro teams rig covers a 30x60 space under tents and we expect several of this size. The top lot pit space is just about sold out.

If you need pit space please contact george@plattekill.com ASAP.

Plattekill asks all our regulars to bear with this as we want to make this an annual event. Events such as this will only help to enhance the park.

old guy... limp up there and take some pics of the track

thanks,

see ya in a few weeks
Sicklines should have a helmet cam run available early next week. Trust me the course is great. Super fast flow to steep tech/drop to pedal section. It has it all. It is super tight on the fast and tech sections.


Also I've been swamped with pit requests in the last hour. don't wait if you want space

Yes I believe so on separate course for Pro/Cat1 and Cat 2/3 - the way the UCI rules work is that if the courses cross there needs to be separated practice times. Platty (I believe) decided to instead run separate courses that don't touch, thus more practice time for all.
