Hello all -
Just a few quick items.
I have posted the flyer links that I have received on the Calendar page. Please pay particular attention to the pre-registration deadlines, as there are some races that do not do race day registration.
Please please please send me your upgrade or category change requests as soon as you can. Since we only have A, Bs & Cs in this conference, if your license says D, please request an upgrade to Cs through your USAC account. This saves time and confusion for the promoters and their registration people.
We do not have any DH races in the conference this semester, mainly due to restrictions by land managers. So those gravity-minded individuals who wish to attend Natls are going to have to submit a race resume to me, with their category A-type (pro/expert) race results for the last 12 months ONLY.
Please carefully read over the MTB Natls requirements for the conference. Yes, I realize that it may require a significant amount of travel. Because of the way races fell this year, most of the mtb races are in NM. This is not always the case, as it varies from year to year, (a few years ago the races were mostly in AZ), so it balances out in the end over time. Those of you who have promoted a race know how difficult it can be to find suitable safe courses that property owners will allow racers to use year after year. Fire restrictions can also be a factor, for both MTB as well as road races.
You all may have seen the press release from USAC about the Road Natl Championships being held in Utah for the next two years, so finally SW and W area schools can save a bit on travel $, both for MTB and Road Natl Championships.
Please let me know if you have any questions or issues. If not, I'll see you next weekend!
Nancy
