Just to clarify on this...
You said "To compete in the series racers will qualify with at least one Downhill race and any 4 other races"
And then said "We will take the six(6) best finishes to determine the overall series winners."
So you need to do at least 5 races (1 DH, 4 of any other) to qualify for the series, but 6 races will be counted? Just trying to figure out if I need to race 5 or 6 races.
Jerzy you kind of answered your own question. We will take your six best finishes from all of the races. You may drop one if you raced 7 seven races and take your six best finishes. It only takes 5 races to qualify however, and yes, one has to be DH. There are 5 DH races, 3 DS, 1 4X, and 1 Super D.
Hope that helps the cause ! THX

Calling all racers and freeriders alike from the Dirty South and Beyond!
First race was a huge success, We've got two more on the way at Hawksnest Resort in Seven Devils, NC (just outside of Boone, NC).
August 21-22: Look for a new Pro course and a new intro/am course, both are shaping up nicely Over $1500 total (1st place men is $500 and 1st women is $300, payouts go 5 deep) Pro purse and it's still growing
October 30-31: Hawkoween costume downhill race. Fun filled relaxed racing weekend at the bird where each costume clad rider gets a time bonus on their race run. Pro purse is over $1500 for this event as well
Both these races are sponsored by some of the finest bike shops in North Carolina (providing product prizes for all amateur classes) as well as Good Health Natural Foods (more free chips at the race than you can imagine). You can find info on our sponsors on our website posted above

I'm excited - this weekend will be my first trip to Plattekill.
Oh boy....lookout!
I kid, I kid! Hey Kona, met you at Massanutten a few years ago - we had the smiley baby. You (and wife) were of course drunk and having a good time in the parking lot. Look for the Elevate Cycles pits - (cracked frame hanging from the EZ up) - I'll bring the beer!
yea right, that will never happen. Jim will just do the usual, wait until I go for a ride and steal it from my cooler
HEY HEY HEY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Hey!yea right, that will never happen. Jim will just do the usual, wait until I go for a ride and steal it from my cooler
I only did that once, and it included the brave act of getting Ragdoll to distract your dawg so's I could get to your cooler!
(PS, I will be bringing beer, but no Labatts...OK, I changed my mind- maybe some!)
Right on - I'll be in a honda element /w thule box on top. Riding Session 88 with Crank Bro wheelset.Oh boy....lookout!
I don't know if I'm going to know anyone there - most of my racing is Snowshoe.
you will by the time you leave
hell yeahyou will by the time you leave
I wish it wasn't on July 4th... why do we have to have races on July 4th all the time..? Some of us would like to party with friends and family..
because it is a very sucessful tradition
and it's not all the time..........just once a year.

and it's not all the time..........just once a year.
This weekend is as close as it gets for me!!! I don't like my "real" family so I have adopted the friendly hearts of Plattekill to fill the void. What a fine job they've done. Rainbows & butterflies.
PS - I'm drunk.
mike can be the uncle who likes to touch too much
