I am very interested in any new format that speeds the flow of racing, makes it friendlier to the spectator, or more fun for participants. Like WT I'm not sure I get how this works, can you put a face on it and describe it on a hill like Antrim, or is it only suited to a really long hill like pump s...

#1 - Donald - YES! That is what I mean. I think I do a medicore to credible job of announcing, but even as the announcers it can be confusing, what are you announcing? "racer A has a .2 sec advantage! he hit one cone and crossed the line ahead of racer B who hit no cones" you still have to wait. It ...

Donald and Wolfy, I agree. What if the cone count was three. I do a lot of announcing. I can picture announcing "Watch the cones people! 3 is good, 4 is a DQ. He hits 1, 2......" etc. That would work OK, wouldn't it? What do you think Gary? We would actually use cones to our advantage by involving t...

Gary, I was serious about the jar opener link I sent. Is that not what you meant about neoprene rumbel strips? More like mouse pads? I see value in this, but do not know what spectators will be able to percieve without a taller visual indicator. On Wesley's idea. Does anyone know what a "tip-up" is ...

Hi Steve, Welcome to the fray. Great ideas. Let's concentrate on on the timing display. I really like this idea and it has been discussed for years. Where do we get it? How do we pay for it? How do we ship it from race to race? ALGE rents them starting at $4500 a day per board and they are not inter...

Thank you Rick for posting Lauren's videos. I'm glad she could come check out our scene.
I may be sentimental, but I like Tway's video best. He's been doing Farm videos for 9 years and really captures the vibe.

Nice post Karl. I agree at this point that it is a personal choice. But it seems kinda inequitable sometimes. In the past if you won amatuer races in 2004, you were racing pro in 2005. That's what Noah and CBark did. It was a matter of honor. Now you can chnge your mind per event? Masters, Pro, Am? ...

The only negative point I see by merging Pro and Am is that TS courses won't ever be the same. They'll be superboring for top Pros :( rmn When I raced in Paris (with you) in 2004, they had 5-6 cones that they changed for the Pro or A group, so no need to reset the course, just a couple of key cones...

Thank you Marcus. Great to have perspective from a top racer. At the "open" races here in the east coast, we divide up our big category into 2, 3, 4 groups of 16 by qualifying time. It makes for intersting racing. Last year at Dixie I qualified 15th in the B group and ended up winning, so it gives e...

I think something has to change Jani. The worlds showed some inequities with Ams that have times in the pro category and Masters faster than pros. I believe the racing should be fun and competative. Why else should we do it. As you've pointed out, there is no money in it. I prefer "open" formats whe...
