The timing WILL be wrong and until they get it right I don't think we should give them any more money. No point in racing for a false time.
Man, it's getting pretty bad up there. Is the race course built on a burial ground and cursed or something?? At the first race I thought it was just a first of the year timing fluke f-up, what ever. I know I got atleast 30 sec added to my second run, what ever, I got over it, they took off the 30 sec, so I was only a little confused. Then, I missed it, but my friend did the TBB race and they f-ed it up even worse. Moving him from sport to ex (what the f' its only a totally different course, right?!?), then they moved him back in to his correct class but gave him a time of 6:50 down the sp. course....6 f'n 50!?!?!!!? Not even a so. cal' er with a flat tire would take that long!! They eventually sorta corrected his time, but it sucks that for the money, he'll never know how he really did. This is pretty much my 2nd year racing, so I never got why people were always b!tching about the event promoters and timing. Now it's all becoming crystal clear...dhtahoe said:The timing WILL be wrong and until they get it right I don't think we should give them any more money. No point in racing for a false time.

Maybe they'll quit having races now and I can ride there without having runs closed.

why pay someone to time you when you can do it yourself?DLo said:Are all of them crummy? I wanted to race for fun this coming weekend.. I don't really care how I place, but I don't have that much desire to participate in something that isn't really well organized. I've only been to a couple races, and they definitely had their stuff down at GGG
I have no idea on the fees. I'd just like to have some fun with my buddies who do race. I've only raced a couple times, and I don't have a NORBA license anyway. Are these a rip?Acadian said:why pay someone to time you when you can do it yourself?
I don't mind racing GGG because a lot of work and effort goes into making the course. Plus I dont get to ride there all summer. Just the practice alone (shuttles) is worth the price of admission alone. At N* you have you pay for your entry free AND lift ticket dont you?
my $0.02

Very true...one of my concerns is that owners of the new super expensive condos are going to complain about having "rowdy" Mt bikers around bugging them. You know who'd win that battle, I don't think N* would hesitate to drop Mt. biking in order to keep the condo owners happy.ricebowls said:but cash rules everything that happens
