first off, only people from the boston area say "cahhhrs" and i don't drink cwuoofeee 
and i can do a great forest gump impersonation if you want me to sound like i'm from around these parts. I just want to get back on my bike. oh, and here's a course description i found on triangle.
Steep start shoot into hip, into double, into flat grass turn, into double, into flat grass turn, into berm, into flat grass, into step up, into berm, into berm, into double, into berm, into berm, into berm, into double, into double= finish line. whew! i think that is all of it. A good 300+ feet

had a quick question.
don't know if this was covered in the 4-5 other threads.
Saturday August 18th:
DH practice 8:30 to 9:30
DH race starts at 10am
DS Practice 9-12
DS race Qualifying starts at 12:30pm
doesn't seem possible/plausible to do both oh wells...
going to be in asheville for the sorba board meeting and
was hoping to try to dodge out of part of it to show some dh love.
How long of a drive is it from Wolf to Brevard?

no motter what I would have put on the flyer, nothing would have seemed possible...there will be a definite slalom practice window after the DH. Also, as soon as any rider's DH run is complete, they can then do what they like slalom wise- rest, practice the course, what ever.
Any other questions?

Hey thanks. i know scheduling stuff is a bitch.
i was just wondering if there is a definite slalom practice after the DH and it gets pushed back a bit, if I can make it over after the meeting in time to race.
^rhetorical question.
i'll just give it a shot.
at least I'll be there in time to watch the finals.
thanks for putting all this together.

Damn, 85 dollars for both races?!?!, on top of gas and a hotel room. I'm gonna have to sell a kidney just to race.
Thats really not that expensive at all compared to other races these days.
my buddy is racing Sugar and can't get off work. $55.00 to race and a $20.00 lift fee....$75,00 for 1 hour of practice...which is 2 runs max..and a race run.:huh:
Its expensive if you're a poor college student.
it is what it is...but you could be going home with cold hard cash or hundreds of dollars worth of components. prizes include: set of code brakes, 5.1 rims, Pike, truvativ cranks bb chainguide combo, truvativ stem bar combos, tires, full face, cane creek headsets, plus all the usual sub-$50 stuff.
You face the challenge we all have- to struggle to get to a race in hopes of a good return. Btw, the cheapest rooms are in Erwin, TN. I think $60-70 a night with rider discount and it is only 20 mins from the venue.

Ryan, would they let them primitive camp in the parking lots over at the original lodge? They can use the restrooms on the outside of the First Aid building. $3.00 per person is what I charged and no one left a mess.
Clemson Freeride will be there in full effect and yes the Holiday Inn express is the cheapest, with rider discount it is 70/night
I'd like to come help but I'll be making the 600 mile drive down to clemson that day.
Ill post it on our forum, i wont be back in the south until the 17th but there maybe a couple interested. DId you post it up on that yahoo southeast DH group yet?
unless you know a chick that works for Marriott
I'm staying at the marriott in asheville for 40 a night. i win. hahahaha
So where is a good campground that is close?
