If I could make a suggestion for the event to have a phone#, maybe assign one from Google Voice that can be routed to somebody's cell. And an email address would be great.
Am I the only one who just realized that race season is hauling arse down our throats and coming up quicker than I thought????

Any questions can be sent via email to ride@clemson.edu. We will do our best to stay on top of the emails and reply as quick as possible. Since we are still on break it's tougher keep up with it but once we're back in Clemson we will get rolling again with emails.
A side note: Brado said we will have an official timing system this year. If we can purchase one before then we absolutely will, but as it stands we still don't have one in our possession. That said, if anyone wants to send us some contact info for purchasing or renting a timing system please send that on to the email above.
Thanks so much, see ya'll March 5th!

I priced several systems and got an awesome quote for one that would be great...$6k 
That being said, Reliable Racing used to have a basic, but fantastically simple and accurate one that was wand at the top, CAT 5 cable connection and photocell at the bottom with printout for $1800.00. Google Reliable Racing and call them. Email quotes will drive you insane. I never bothered with it b/c my intent was to get it for my own timing company.
The cost inhibitive part of it was a CAT 5 cable at varying locations. It ain't cheap. But for Clemson, it would be perfect.

In that case...yeah, it will be March 5th.i can't trust the word of a man who doesn't eat bread!
Bread is useless fodder, with only bad nutritional value.
Unnecessary FLUFF!

i only eat bread made from baby seal whiskers and kittens.
I appreciate the info! We are looking for an even cheaper system, if thats possible. As opposed to a start gate I was thinking a simple start clock and 30 second intervals would do at the top. An official could ensure no one jumps the start. This way no cables are needed and we can easily plug in start times to a computer. I think we are just going for a more official gate at the bottom that can more accurately capture the finish times. Know of anyone with a something like that?I priced several systems and got an awesome quote for one that would be great...$6k

Cecil/Matt, you guys need to help me convince Heither to enter. She's still having mental issues overcoming her Snowshoe crash and sugery. But if she could get back to how she was riding then, she'd do OK (short of hitting the new drop... I know she won't do that).
She would have a great time! Great race to introduce someone to the DH sport
That won't work either Butch, she doesn't drink. Funny thing is, she wants to get back in her white water kayak but is still scared over pushing her Demo to what I can do.
