Zac said there were no Collegiate races this weekend..... Guess not. You really don't want to miss this race man......I'm probably gonna get flamed for this, but I have a collegiate XC race in Georgia that day.
Wow - I know everyone was really bummed to see that. Hopefully he'll be good as new in no time.holy **** gerrit hit hard. Hope his shoulder wasn't destroyed or separated too bad.
Talked with him just a little while ago. He has a separation in his shoulder but the Doctors say he should be fine in time. Good news is no Surgery. Get well me Gerrit!!!holy **** gerrit hit hard. Hope his shoulder wasn't destroyed or separated too bad.
That Sunday's too darn purdy to scratch!good race. shuttling situation could have been a little better planned, but other than that no major complaints. my bike got a nasty shuttle mark on the downtube, but it's from neckers bike so it's ok....chippin' paint, shavin' miligrams

Wow, I didn't know that was going on. This was the first to hear of it. I wish I would have known and I would have talked to the timming guys in time. Well another Note for next years race!!!Thing that I think should change...
I noticed that quite a few riders were leaving up to 2 seconds before the timer actually reached zero. I know this is a grassroots race, and you guys were working with minimal timing capabilities, but maybe the guys at the top should radio down to add time to the riders runs that left early. I dunno..maybe a 5 or 10 second penalty for leaving early? I dont think it would have changed my results...(old slow guy) but it might deter some of the "advantage" that went on out of the gate.

Yeah, A couple of us in AM was booing one guy for going too soon. Dude was about ten feet from the line with a running start and still got out the box about 3 sec too soon.Wow, I didn't know that was going on. This was the first to hear of it.

Thanks for the input,

Just posted the link Brad posted on the other thread in the DH Forum page. Thought all might want to see.Yeah, A couple of us in AM was booing one guy for going too soon. Dude was about ten feet from the line with a running start and still got out the box about 3 sec too soon.
Reguardless the race was fun. I will be back!
Any one got any pics?
So what is "The Rule" exactly when it comes to the start?Yeah, A couple of us in AM was booing one guy for going too soon. Dude was about ten feet from the line with a running start and still got out the box about 3 sec too soon.
not sure how many guys started without a plenty but we did add to one riders time. the top called in and stated that a rider started 5-10 seconds early so we added accordingly. I'll take the blame on this. I briefed the timing guys at the top but did not specifically specify to them to radio down if guys jumped nor did I tell them that riders shouldn't have a running start.Yeah, A couple of us in AM was booing one guy for going too soon.

You should not take the blame for anything man.I'll take the blame on this. I briefed the timing guys at the top but did not specifically specify to them to radio down if guys jumped nor did I tell them that riders shouldn't have a running start.lthumbsdown:

You even volunteered to sit out the race and just do timing to make sure everything ran smooth, which it did. And you even took the time out to help some goofy blond jive turkey change out a coil spring in the meantime.
This sport needs more people like you.
Its not your fault a few people tried to cheat.
Honestly, the only one I saw was in the Pro/Ex class and it probaly just set a bad example for other guys to copy. Nobody was surprised though that this guy got a running start. He's THAT GUY!:biggrin:
