Thanks Ohm. You know me, I am totally into being safe. I think I can handle it. I will try my best to stay on the runout part and not ruin the weekend by requiring the MedEvac....... At least at Hobby Park I all have to avoid is the guard rail....of course, none of you got to see Bluegill when you w...

Marion Karr

What's the runout like at Fountain Head for the DH and the Slalom? Not the owner of leathers at the moment and have limited experience in running multi-racer formated DH's so probably will be an observer on that part of the weekend. Working on getting there for the other stuff though. Any photos of ...

Marion Karr

I agree with Marty and J Rad. The Dixie Cup is a great example of how the sport is growing. It was a first time race and we had guys travel from 18 states and Canada to get here. Mollica is going to put on a new series of races in Ohio that will be well attended. New organizations are forming and th...

Thanks, Jani.

Got any photos you can throw up for me to look at?

Chris,
Great article on Silverfishlongboarding.com. Malakai is a big supporter of the DHB. If you talk to him tell him how much I appreciate his support!

Brent, good job bro!

Marion Karr

Jani, We are looking to implement the cone counting procedure described here at next year's Dixie Cup race. Is there a card supplier out there of do you just make them out of whatever you can find? Each judge needs cards numbered 1-10 (if they are assigned 10 cones) and a red and a green correct? Do...

Marion Karr

First I would like to thank Wesley Tucker for his work on the Timing Table and with the spreadsheets for this past week's Dixie Cup. He has spent a great deal of time and effort on this and I appreciate the effort. As the race planner I take full responsibility for any discrepencies and problems wit...

Marion Karr

Mike and everyone else, we have already made plans and have in the works the development of a monitor station seperate from the Timing Table that will be full access to the riders. We are not completely sure if it is going to be hard wired or wireless but this monitor will be available for racers to...

Marion Karr

Marion, I could probably talk Ron into this. What's up your sleeve? I need to see when Emily and Donna are flying to England but I think I am down. I will check with them tonight. Love to keep the stoke going....Tucker said something to me about it today as well. Talk to you tomorrow about it.

The 2006 Dixie Cup will be held November 3rd, 4th, and 5th in Statesville and Winston-Salem, North Carolina and will be looking to upgrade its status SIGNIFICANTLY for 2006.

Just got off the phone to confirm with the Statesville Chamber of Commerce regarding next year's Pumkin Festival. The date is November 4th, 2006. (Pumpkin Festival is traditionally the first weekend after Halloween...that's how we get all the free pumpkins.) Mark your calendars now! The 2nd Annual D...

Well, I have tried my best to stay away from the computer since Sunday but my phone has been ringing off the hook and I just couldn't help myself. A great deal of you have said some incredibly great things about this past weekend and I am humbled by them. I am very glad that you all had such a great...

Mig,
Dude, I meant to type English Canadien slalom skaters...no disrepect intended...and dude, I wish you boys where here! Remember I begged!

Marion Karr

Dudes, I am not stressing over the points thing...just find the whole thing surreal. This is our first race, in a town that has never seen a race, with a bunch of guys putting it together who have never seen a race, and we have riders coming in from 18 states, over 30 sponsors, city government suppo...

Marion Karr

Man, the pressure to upgrade our points status is heating up. Now it has spilled over to the European 2006 thread....Donald Campbell, Pavel Skates. is throwing his support behind our need to be Prime and is also one of our first committed sponsors to the Dixie Cup! Donald and Pavel Skates were very ...

Marion Karr

Donald, Thanks for your support. The DHB is working hard to put on a race worthy of such a status and with Dave G not being able to put on the MSS race we are filling that void. Dave G is a Charter member of the DHB and is going to be our primary time keeper this weekend at our race. Dave G has alre...

Marion Karr

Pat, That sounds well thought out......... As for Donald Campbell, all I have to say is he big supporter of the DHB and is a sponsor of the Dixie Cup. I definitely support his efforts in doing a Worlds in Europe. 66: Dude, Im crushed. Man you will be missed but I hope your family gets feeling better...

Would the story be different if Dave Gale had announced that he was "moving" his race instead of canceling it? Joe Hey, that's a great idea! The 1st Annual Downhillbillies Dixie Cup is actually the Mountain State race just in a different state....DAve G is DHB. This is a DHB event. Therefore..........

Marion Karr

Corky, Thanks for the response. I understand that the rules are structured the way they are and that has to be followed in order to make it fair to all involved. The one question you asked regarding "is the circumstances special" in relationship to the Dixie Cup is a good one. My answer to that is Y...

At the time we decided to put on this race the WV race was still uncertain but not cancelled. Out of a deep respect and friendship with Dave G (who by the way is CORE DHB and a Charter MEMBER) I did not feel right about undermining his race's status by requesting that our race be elevated to Prime S...

Thanks for posting the pics Tucker....Yes, there is a correction....from the notes I made when we wheeled it off with the rolling tape measure the course is actually 598 feet long from the bottom of the start blocks to the finish and there are 25 cones.
