PM ZTH13 he has all knowledge to all these questions........
I would say chances are slim that they will take a credit card... ive never seen it done at a race around here. Cash is your best bet.
Found a Motel8 in Erwin for $40. It's @ 15 miles away heading towards Assville
You can use one to purchase your license but for entry fee it's usually check or cash.
Yeah, I was on that white SX. I rode the DH course afterwards. I worked on the last drop a couple of times then rode the course once more. See ya'll this weekend.
I have not personally checked., however I know of a few who have. Everything under $100 is full on friday. Saturday may be a different story.
I haven't checked the vacancy of the overpasses yet.
Yup, Commencement is May 1 (I just checked the web site...http://infoserv.etsu.edu/cal/academicdates.asp?selectYear=2003-2004&Submit=go )
Anyway, this is the first time I'm going so can anyone tell me where/how to get to the DH & DS/MX courses?
Credit---NO!
The courses are located on both side of Southwest after the RR trussel. Take first left to physical plant warehouse and MX is on left.
Take right at first parking lot and the DH finish is 20 yards up the trail.

How's the DH course in the rain again? Looks like rain. I better bring the Swampthings. 
Maybe Hookworms. 
Maybe Hookworms. I'm planning to do the race on Sunday but might not have a chance to preride the course. Can anyone tell me if there is any significant peddling (uphill) on it? Still trying to decide which bike to bring.
Thanks
Thanks
I built the DH for a place that was technical, but still had a lot of pedalling for trainning. My fastest time is on my full DH rig, but if it rains an XC bike could be dope!
Bike of choice is 4-6" rear travel and there are three flat pedal sections, but none are very long (no uphill).

ztlh13,
Any feel from the local weather peeps about rain this weekend? Sounding like a 30-40% of rain Saturday night through early Sunday morning - but the weather channel is basically saying only a 20% chance on Saturday...Really will be bummed if we get a deluge on Saturday...Although, it doesn't sound like the DH course turns into a mud trough...
Weather "forecasters" - the bane of my existence...Just assume call the Psychic Hotline :eviltongu

I raced that course wet and dry and I prefered it WET. It's not a mud bog but it becomes, entertaining. Just remember that logs are slippery when wet.Originally posted by profro

There won't be much mud on either course. The 4X is so hard we are kinda hoping it rains.
Went riding the big bike today and the courses are looking better than ever! Everyone is going to have a blast on the 4X.

Terry recap us with some Information. What time is the DH start on Sunday? We are gonna be running on the sport course right? The one with the nice sized rock section at the end?
I will see ya'll there on Sunday on my Planet X hardtail!

Not to speak for Terry, but I believe the DH race registration starts at 9:00 a.m. and the race gets underway at 11:00 a.m.
As for the course, it's my understanding that it will be the 'sport course', or the 'good one' as I've heard it called before...Thanks again Terry for all the good info. and helping put this event together...
I'm starting to get jazzed about this race...In fact, I'm opening a Red Seal Ale as I type in anticipation...

I can get the guys to write a receipt for you.
There is a new kid from South Africa that was riding yesterday and he was fast! Herndon's back for the race too so should be a sweet show in the Pro race. Chris was looking really fast as well!

Do I understand that you're going to split the Semi-pro/Pros from the Experts and race them seperately for the MTNx?
I like mud....but....not on courses that require me to pedal in the least
are there separate DS/4X courses? or will it be run on the same course?
I know everyone is bombarding with last minute questions but I think this is a good question.
If its like pouring down rain will the race be cancelled? I doubt b/c of the rain but maybe the lightning...?

No, a race might be delayed by lightning, but we will still race.
We always race, that is what we do.
I think the only reason why that race in Georgia got cancelled last year was because it actually rained so much, it washed the entire course away. You can't do anything about that.
I am looking foward to the DH on Sunday, and really regretting to having a slalom rig for Saturday.
I see you speak the language of "Tool"
Oh goody, I get to try a 888 this weekend. See you SEI guys tomorrow.
actually I got teh race rug pulled out from under me yesterday. I forgot about a "family" commitment I made for Sunday!
Fellas, I'm making an F*&(%ing schedule from here on out. She'll have to pencil in that "family" crap.:angry:
who needs a ride to Massanutten?

I see you speak the language of spineless pantywaste.

My race family.

Butch, are you going to take that like a Frenchman, lying down?
I think that's how he got in the family way in the first place.
ahhh...having a kid is fun for the guy the first few times....after that, you feel like a cow pulling up to the milking machine.
Oh no. I just got all sorts of visuals I didn't need to see.
Does that mean YOU are breast feeding?
