[2011] Texas Sizzler, Houston, March 26-27 [MAIN]
Posted: Tue Apr 13, 2010 6:37 pm
As you know we have been offered the Derby Hill in Hockley near Houston.
One has to look at the positive aspect of having the race in Houston.
1. The location of the race is secure. If anyone has question such as " is the location secure". Answer " Yes it is".
2. Is there bathrooms available. Yes there is.
3. Will we have 2 timing system ready to go. Yes we will.
4. Will there be food for the racers. Yes there will be. There is a concession stand that the BoyScouts will be running and the food would included in the entry fee.
5. Maps will be provided with directions to the race site.
6. All prize money will be paid out in cash on the spot.
6 sucessfull Texas Sizzlers. This year there was a bit of confusion.
7. We have the Derby hill all day long. So starting at 9:00 ! NO 10:00 NO ! 11:00 more than likely.
Oasis Bluff and Racing Downtown Austin the request keep coming in. The thought is still in the back of our minds. Believe me. I know our sport needs exposure. That is still a possibility.
Keep this in mind. And I repeat keep this in mind. 6 SUCCESSFULL TEXAS SIZZLER and one with issues does not deter us. We will continue to strive to throw the BEST DownHill Slalom Contest.
People will allways complain, and constructive criticism and opinions are good.
Constructive is the key word.
We will bid for MAIN Status again next year. Yes we will. Whether or not we get it, that is up to the ISSA. . The ISSA needs to spread its status equally. If you judge us on what went wrong with this years race. I say go for it.
I say this to the board of the ISSA. Why should racers have to travel half way across the country to attend a Main Status Race when we are a state that is centrally located.
This year I really was not able to answer questions about the event. I was not the organizer. Stepped in at the last minute. I did my best to pick up the pieces.
I know that alot of suggestions have come in two have the Slalom Event downtown in conjunction with a festival. Not happening soon. This is the State Capitol of Texas. My sincerest appologies to everyone involved. And we stand by what ever decisions the ISSA makes. I may not agree with them, but this is our governing board.
Till next year. Your Amigo Eddy Texas Outlaws.
