i'm think practice runs thursday/friday, beg/sport race saturday and ex/pro race sunday.
Yeah, sucks becuase there are like 6 days of practice, and you have to buy tickets everyday.
ugh don't remind me of that....
Hey guys - Ever been to a bigtime race where you didn't get as much practice as you wanted/needed? I'm sure we all can think of a few. Well, this is just like that...except the opposite. There are full days of DH practice starting on Wednesday. That doesn't mean you HAVE to start practicing on Wednesday, just that it's available for you (as well as the rest of the mountain) if you'd like.
Pretty sure that lift tix are going to be $15/day.

Yeah, sorry for the negativity, not meant how it sounds.......thanks for the huge amount of practice, I love riding Angel Fire!
Damnit, I want to go!!!! Approx how many racers are expected to be there?? I've been warned it's going to be ginormous...
Also, as one with a complete lack of memory, I've found I do the best in races that have two runs and no practice! I work better on instints than I do remembering what the hell is past the next rock. Hell, each seriously IS like the very first one to me. I even tried wearing a helmet cam on the the first practce days then watching the vid over and over that night...no luck.
Not saying don't have any practice runs...but it would be fun to see how the big names do in something like that!

What course are we running?
I know last year they had around 2 hours of practice a day not sure whats the deal i wish they would post the whole schedule,before there aint rooms left.If they are booked taos isnt to far away.
Hmmm.
Last year Wednesday and Thursday had open practice from 9-4 for all categories, then on Friday and Saturday we split the field's practice time so that Pros/Semis/Experts and JR X had 4 hours to themselves on the track and the rest of the categories had 3 hours. Riders were also allowed to ride the rest of the mountain when their category wasn't practicing (and the lifties gave preference to the riders who were practicing.) Additionally, 4X practice was also available for the guys/girls who were in both events.
This year will be pretty similar, but we've got a few other variables to consider. We'll publish the complete schedule as soon as possible, but for right now the one on the www.racemsc.com website is pretty complete (minus the category breakdowns for Friday-Sunday).

Dunno yet - need to talk with the Can-NATE-ian. It might be a decision that's based upon which course needs the least shoveling.

Can't go this year. Kind of bummed. It's finals week. What bad planning.
Stupid finals planners!
