[2006] Region West Atlantic: USA East

[Mike Cividino]

and when we change lets have it work retroactively. The NC race was HUGE, it will go down as the biggest BASIC in history. When it could go down as one of the great prime races of all time.

Is it too late for a new years garage race to get that extra status?

Korky,

Also - How do we petition to change the rules for transfering status?

Anyone that attended the race in NC last weekend will attest that it was due a Prime status at the very least. We need to reward hardwork like Marions, but more so develop some rule to insure cancelled races don't mean alotted points go unused.

I know you are on board with this. How do we change it?

i just looked at the wests agenda,uh,Corky,you need to visit the states soon.the majority of the slalom races and racers are in the east.i am not dissin the west,i love my west coast bros,but the only time races in the west got over 30 racers was when the east showed up.farm series,athens,luna,even chicago drew well considering it was only AM and basic status.look at the sign ups they tell the story.cf

[Chris Favero]

plus the farm has five years under its belt.how many majors have that number of years in the same spot,by the same promoters going for it.cf

Far be it from me to post my opinion.....

but after talking to Gale, i got the impression that there wasnt going to be a W.V. race in 2006. Let's try not to get ourselves in another SNAFU similar to this years Dixie Cup. However, in comparing one venue to another, the St Louis race is more of a Prime than a Basic....both in size and in the skill level.
Chicago also has the potential to be a larger race.

At this time there is nothing official in Cali.....but East of the Miss. looks like it's about to explode.....strange days....

finally....Korky....please pencil in Mollicas Columbus Slalom Series (name may be changed, but the series is a "go")
It'll be 4 or 5 races in Columbus Ohio, ....expect it to draw some big names
More info coming soon.

Never been to the Farm, but that's largely due to the cost of getting there...Athens is easier to get to....and it's a huge draw...Both are good Major candidates....big drawback with the Farm, though, is the limitation on the number of skaters who can sign up...and damn...that calendar fills up fast

Favero....you still have those riser pads?

[Chris Favero]

yes i agree.east deserves a major.north america is not relevant to europe in size.chicago to SoCal os like NY to Iceland in distance.cf

[Joe Iacovelli]

Korky,

Why doesn't the East get a major? Can we apply for it?

Thank you for your info,

Joe
