Every time I pop a tube there...a new rock sprouts up. And I've been going there for a very long time.

That link says 2010, my sources tell me that Mass isn't a GE race this year.

Fun track nontheless.

Right, and everything under the red lettering is from last year including the GES logo. I don't think it's a GES race.

Maybe somebody who is in the know can chime in here and clear things up.

??????Trying to plan my summer like everyone else.

 

[Metal Dude]

why would they only release one date? I think Mass. said no GES or USAC this year?

 

[PArider29]

Frankly I'm not surprised we haven't heard from the GES....There were already two threads about the Massanutten Race back in Oct and Nov 2010.

I don't think racers understand how expensive it is to put on a series like the GES ..I am impressed with the fact that GES makes enough money support the pro payout and still pay all its bills for timing, awards, number plates etc...oh well that's a whole other thread.

 

[bizutch]

I think all GES races should have UCI points. "Pot.....stirred....."

Whoops I was wrong ..... the venues pay for most everything.

GES Event ..... UCI sanctioned ...Never!

 

[stumpjump]

Sources say this will not be a GES race.

My sources tell me, sam hill WILL be attending, kicking it old-school on a sunday

Sarcasm meter-ON!

Pot stirred well.

We are doing one UCI Inscribed race at Plattekill this spring. It will be our second in two years. We have learned exactly what the UCI really needs vs the "written" rules. If the UCI official is happy with the internal changes that we made according to his recommendations, we will continue with our plan of having ALL races at Plattekill UCI inscribed in 2012. Then we will work toward the complete Eastern States Cup in 2013.

Sounds good - hope it happens.

Actually a more local series sounds good this year.

If they lose Mass they should probably change the name to the Gravity Northeast Series.

 

[bizutch]

Just got an email from Mass stating it will be USAC so that riders can qualify for Beech National Champs.

Not necessarily, considering a venue that is being added this year.
