So so

The change of venue is good but I'd have preferred they keep it in late May. Having the event in late July screws anyone doing the Transalps or Transrockies in '06.

I know that is great news for those in the midwest and I'm happy for all those that benefit from it. But it really bites for us up here in the northwest where as of this time there is exactly ZERO major NORBA events available to us in 2006. I'm having a hard time finding a good reason to purchase a 2006 NORBA license due to the lack of races. I'm sure there are many others up here thinking the same thing.

I've been having a hard time finding a reason to purchase a NORBA license for a whie now...and it has nothing to do with where I live!

The venue looks good. However, putting the event 1 week before TransRockies is such a major blunder...WTF is NORBA thinking??? This scheduling is utterly lame. It will eliminate *at least* 2 top solo contenders that I know of, and probably more.

There aren't that many top level endurance events on the global calendar. NORBA pay attention!

Sweet! I'm very psyched it does not conflict with the Burn 24 hour this year so I can race it.

Burn 24 hour

How about a Solo SS class for next year at Burn 24 hour ?

I might be able to do that. Really depends on the sponsors, but I will pursue it.

That would be great !!!! This was my first Solo race back in 2002. I am coming down next year to race it on a SS and not a close race around 11 hours driving.

SS class at The Burn??

I prefer to be classless.

(thread hijack in progress, sorry)

I do think moving things like Nationals/Worlds/whatever makes a lot of sense.

I think the endurance racing calender is plenty full and it is very hard keeping events from getting too close together.
