The West Atlantic region have one Major competition to select for each season.

The Major should be one of the Main competitions selected by the sub regions.

This topic is aimed for all West Atlantic regions to discuss subjects concerning the whole West Atlantic region.

New situation for West Atlantic Region (South America, USA West, USA East, Canada) for the 2006 season since the World Championships is moving over to Europe.

Any proposals? Any volounteers? For the Major status.

I'll go first,

I will pony up Marions contest for Major Status. Talk to anyone that was there, this guy has the orginization, city support, location and the right time of year on his side.

How many contests have you guys been to where you get a letter from the Mayor thanking you for coming? Marion's skills as an organizer were evident all weekend. The DHB's commitment to that race being first class was evident from Friday through Sunday.

Location - Statesville is near two international airports. Flights in can be shopped well in advance and deals can be found as Marion already has the dates for next year. The hotel rate was negotiated in advance and at 50 bucks was a pretty sweet deal. Racers from Europe can join the party pretty easily if they wish to.

Time - What better time to hold a Major than at the end of the season? We can have a Slalom Superbowl of sorts.

OK I went first. Supporters, Detractors? Let's hear it.

Marty:

100% behind you - every point you made is valid

I would also like to add that the quality of race courses and sufaces were top notch from the outlaw on Friday night through to the Hobby Hill on Sunday.

The level of competitors that were present respresented the top racers on both the East and West coast, including 6-7 of the best in the world.

If we are going to show respect where respect is deserved, than the Dixie Cup needs it status both next year and retroactively for this year.

Just my 2 cents

Rob,

I am letting sleeping dogs lie on the debate over this years status. It was basic in name only. Let's focus our energy to next year and make it the second world Major.

One in Europe and one in the US.

Any further support or dissention?

Guys,

Don't forget that we were racing in front of a crowd. One of the best things about the NC race is that I get to expose myself to 12,000 people.

As good as the Dixie cup was...and will be, it's pretty tough to say the Major should go anywhere other than Breck,....it's the US championship...and they have tradition on their side

Chris makes a fine point.

The question is does Breck want a Major? We need to ask whomever puts that one together. Is it Fluitt?

So far my question is unanswered. Does Breck want a Major?
