The race seems to have been a hit! 28 riders and most of them new to dual slalom, and GA residents as well.
A few NC boys in the house, and a couple guys repping FLA.

I "May" be interested in doin a winter series -
My ideas however would be slightlly different from how this race played out prize and money wise.

How about a 4 race series with the 2 middle races being points races with low registration costs
(like $10 to go in the bank for final payout) and no przes just points. Maybe some medals for podium and I would like to
have number plates that rep. current rankings from race to race.
So that would be the reward for the two middle (points races) races.
Then Late winter/early spring have a final which has 25% increase in points.
The first 3 races having equal points. Then best 3 races count.
That would give people "who missed out big time" on the race we just had to still get in the same points by the final.
It is a headache dealing with all the prize stuff. So I just don't want to deal with that at each race.
But, for the final have Super Duper Good prizes! If I work on it all along I think
I can get bike frames, wheels, cranks, bigger expensive prizes for the final
which say entry fees would be 25-30 dollars - Which (if the numbers were good at all races)
would probably raise about a 1000 dollar purse for the money class.
That may bring some pros off the couch!
What do you guys think??????

Yeah Chuck, I like your ideas and think more people will show, heck 4 of the top 6 experts were from Florida and theres a bunch more that will head up! The points/prizes deal sounds good, the medals and plates would be a good touch! Hope to see this come together!

Count me out, I went to the doctor today and I have a torn Ligament in my left foot from that lame crash.

I'm sure a bunch of my guys from the freeride club would be more than willing to make the drive down there for some other races.

In looking at dates I think the best deal may be to just run 2 more races.
Maybe one of the first couple weekends in DEC. and then skip JAN FEB
weather is too bad then. Final race maybe first couple weeks of MAR
any conflicting stuff goin on then?

What about a race or two before the new year and then focus on a 3 race spring series? My 2 cents yall.

December should be clear.
The only thing I can think of in March would be a Dark Mtn. Super D, so you guys can work around that.
Clemson was also talking of a winter series and that would be cool too.

There may be some other possiblities with new courses DS in GA
so spring may have a couple races, one at my place one somewhere else.
Central Park may get a new MTX course, Chicapee still in the works etc.
then couple in the fall to make a few race DS/MTX series.
Probably only going to be able to do one between now and the newyear.
Let me talk to the boss (wife) and see what I can get approved dates.
I will post some prelim dates this weekend... Later

I would love to make it down, but with diesel sitting around $3.20 I will have to limit my winter trips to ones up and down Windrock. :) What about the weekend of the SX in Feb. A bunch of people are already in town. Just a thought.

Good idea it's just the weather can be at it's worst at that time.
