Please let us know what you would like to see more of in the 2013 race series.

Rio Bravo!

Dang moderator detracting the thread! :banghead:

I would like to see sand. Much more sand. Not even kidding put us through the nastiest, siltiest, knarliest sand you can find. I want it.

Condor, How about we build you a circle rut in the Lunar Dunes(or what's left of them) a see how many "laps" you can do in 90 minutes?

Jeff, Maybe add Outlaw Trax to your list.


Cheers

yeah, good list:
brunes, rio, skull, outlaw and then a final tie breaker, time keeper in the sam hou.

Okay, so for race chairs for 2013, I have:

Jeff Wilson: Rio Bravo (co-chair: CRFaggie96)
Kenny Grundmann: Outlaw Trax
Nate Kaleta: Brunes Mill

Thanks for volunteering fellas!

By the way, how did we get from a poll on TYPES of races people want to see to WHERE we should race???

Middleton is always awesome.

Enduro or Scrambles are both cool-as long as were racin' !!

I personally like time-keepers, but I know that for some others, it requires more thought than just turning the throttle

It's hard to argue that timekeepers aren't a thing of the past. In my opinion, it's a bit contradictory to use the term "race" to describe a timekeeper enduro. Not saying that a defining word should be something to live by, but just so it's out there:

race - [reys] Show IPA noun, verb, raced, rac·ing.


noun
1.
a contest of speed, as in running, riding, driving, or sailing.

Timekeeper Enduros aren't that at all. Timekeeping is more of a mind game, or a game to see whose got the best computer and can program it properly and keep a close eye on it while riding. The fun of racing is the competitive spirit that fuels it. I know one day, when I finally beat #122, I'm going to talk a whole bunch of smack and ridicule him mercilessly for being slower than me.

I won my class in the first race of this past series which was a timekeeper. But it felt like more a game of risk that oddly ended up paying off. I didn't feel entitled to any bragging rights whatsoever.

At the end of day, when you win, you can't really say you beat somebody. They may very well be able to smoke you in an actual race.

But most importantly, I haven't ever come across a younger rider (than me) saying he wishes he could race a time-keeper.
