Let's save a lot of typing by sharing a little information:

1. Course Information

I post the course information on the circuit's Schedule Page as soon as I get it. I also send a notice to the distribution list as soon as I get home. If the information is not on the schedule page, I don't have it. Note that clubs are not required to make this information available until the day before the event (usually Saturday). If you have the course information and it is not on-line, you might want to share it with the rest of us.

2. Cancellations

The TSCEC has cancelled very few events during its 32 years of racing. Of the few that have been cancelled, most have been at the land owner's request. An enduro will go on in cold, rain, snow. It is supposed to be a test. Each division has two drops. If you don't want to get wet and cold, use a drop.

A number of events are held in west Texas in regions that receive less than ten inches of rain a year. Just because it is raining at your house doesn't mean it is raining at the race site. And if you trust the weather man, we've got some ocean front property for you near Post.

If it were to happen that a race would be cancelled, it is usually called on the morning of the event (i.e.., 07:00 Sunday). This is much too late for the internet to be of any use. If it were to be called earlier, we will do the best we can to get the word out but when in doubt, you better show up at the event.

3. Results

Scoring an enduro is labor intensive as we all know. Once the enduro is over, the actual score cards are sent to the scorekeeper. The scores are manually entered and rider names, classes, and numbers are checked. The results are then merged with the database to produce the standings for all three divisions and the team standings. The TSCEC board of directors is constantly trying to shorten the amount of time between the end of an event and the time the scores are available on the web. Still, it is a volunteer effort. My best advice to you is that if the results are important, you or your representative should remain at the event for the trophy presentation.

4. General Event Information

Remember that the TSCEC is the scantioning body and that the member clubs actually stage each event. Each flyer has a contact name, phone number, and sometimes email addresses on them. For information regarding the event, consult the flyer and then contact the club if you still have questions.

Now, let's have a fun, safe racing season.
