I think JeffD has a pair of pink ones he can't fit into anymore....
That's right! Butch can buy Jeff new pants for x-mas presents since he knows his "cup size"I bet when Butch pictures Jeff in them, he can fit into them just fine.
I entered the two venues into the finest futuristic time searching machine on earth and the results speak volumes.
Yeah unfortunately we had picked those dates a month ago and its way too much trouble to change them. We have to get permits from USACE for events at Carters.
That is true. You must be a SORBA member to race. Our events are covered under SORBA's activity/event insurance. However, unlike your NORBA license, your SORBA membership is 100% tax deductible
This I have no problem with and completely understand. It's just a lot of work to change those dates. Like I said before we picked them out of month ago and we just got the official word last Wednesday/Thursday that they were approved.
Will get one to come race... Glad you are putting them on!!!!That is true. You must be a SORBA member to race. Our events are covered under SORBA's activity/event insurance. However, unlike your NORBA license, your SORBA membership is 100% tax deductible
I wanted to put a race on here in Greenville. It can happen and have a nice course to race on too. The only thing is I don't have the time to do all the leg work by myself to make it happen. Maybe next year or later in this year we can. Having Wolf back and your races is a good thing.

Insurance dood, insurance.Well, I wish you guys the best of luck, but I'm not getting a membership.
You might be better off not requiring that. You may limit your entry numbers if you do.
Clemson ran their race with a $30 entry fee and it included insurance.
It is a SORBA sponsored event, you have to be a member to participate in the race. We (SoFA) do not have the club funds yet to put up money for insurance before hand - all been used building the trails and bike parks; therefore, we must use SORBA insurance.
So everyone knows. SORBA individual membership is $32
Don't be a dumbass, this isn't a ploy to force anybody to get any membership. Sofa doesn't directly benefit from license sales and Brady and Jon are very aware it'll likely be a barrier to some folks racing but it's a necessary evil.
Jeff summed it up best, But I'd like to add 20 of the 22 dollars is
lthumbsdown:
Keep in mind you only pay the membership once. so the first race you'll pay $42 am/$52 pro and the second and third race you only pay $12 am/$22 pro (plus parking each time).Course looks fun ! $55 is expensive though .
-- How does this price compare to the NORTHEAST where DH is booming with the LIFT-Assisted venues ?
-- Are NorthEast Downhillers paying more--less--or the same for a DH race.They are pimping on a big DH mountain too i might add.
-- My guess is, the costs are the same;but we have smaller DH's to ride, & no lift... Maybe things will come around though
Sorry to rant,i woke up in a bad mood today.
Apples and oranges. They have a large organization backing them. Usually the mountain property owner. Not to mention revenue from lift ticket sales at the onset of the season.
More. Average one day lift ticket is $30, season passes are $300+. US Open registration is $70+. Average race registration fee is $35 for amateur classes and $40-$45 for pro.
for SORBA?
sorba has a student membership option although it's not listed online.
You'll get busted the minute they check your ID and see a full head of hair in the pic :biggrin:Cool, I think I can find my old College ID.
What you talking about Willis?
I have hair and can easily grow it out like I did back then. I only choose to look like I have no hair now!!!! Lucky for me its not a condition. 
hey chuck i tried e-mailing you
Yeah Jeff and I met with the Parks Commission last night did the big slide show presenstation on MTX and got the FINAL go ahead for the 4x at Central, if you could let Juan know too.
Parks Commision also knows we are on a time table to get some racing by in late fall so thats a good thing. I'll talk to u more about it later.
Chicopee DS is got the go ahead, just waiting to hear back from GA power on if we can use the Powerline easement.
If not we have a back up plan of running the DS through the woods. The director of Sorba is calling them directly for us. I spoke with him this afternoon about it and he said we should get word back really soon like within a week. They have big plans to include more than just a DS, don't want to go into here too much cause it's really an ambitious project. But the cool thing is they are pushing it through for us and are going to get the funds to build it.
Also Sorba Student Pricing.... I was a little off the mark...
It's 20 dollars so that's a Ten dollar discount on membership.
alright off to go get my **** together for Massanutten
