Right on Alex. That video gave the slalom bug to a lot of folks. If Trippe wasn't such a stoner, we'd have a vid from all the farm races. This year he's going to arrive late but promises to film at the Hays party. He has tons of old farm footage that will hopefully make it to a dvd someday.

I completely agree but unfortunately Da Farm is a single lane race.

A great place for Open riders to kick some Pro ass! Last year was epic.

DaFarm will always be just a race in the woods with a big party that follows. Nothing more.

The race organizer should always set the standards.

Regarding Pro/Am.

I feel the best way to decided who races in what class is by their qualifying times. The top 16 times should race pro and the next 16 should race Am regardless of how many races a rider has won. We arn't getting any younger.
