 Morning all, just wondering if anybody has info on how THE  course is coming? In years past , seems like we would have some credible info from USFRA by now , but so far, crickets??

Let's bring this issue out of the shadows into the light.

Well,  what's it say ? Non fakebookers here.
Most rules are written in blood and...... Rule changes are bought by a big fat check. 😉

  Heres what's written in the posting link.   Pictures are not included in this post.

It has been a busy weekend! We had to switch up our plan a little bit after seeing how things settled after the rain. We will be using the track that was groomed by the BMST group. It runs parallel to the Speedweek course 1 just on the freeway side. We have it gotten it groomed to 8 miles.
Pics are from the 1 mile down the course, 1 mile to lands end, timing slips, 3mi to lands end, 3mi down course

From the pictures it looks similar to what we had at Speedweek. A thin crust at the most less than a 1/2 in thickness.

I love the USA. How much longer will we be a free nation?

Asking questions is one's only way of getting answers.

The rational person lets verified facts form or modify his opinion.  The ideologue ignores verified facts which don't fit his preconceived opinions.

rockracer,

I am not a fakebook person either. But for general information, when you go with a link to fakebook they ask you to sign in, depending on the account, if you hit the X on the login, sometimes it will let you look at the site for a few minutes before it says to login again, then locks you out. That is how I was able to use Calkins link and post the pictures here.

Hope this helps,

Tom G.
