Sorry you feel that way Speedy. The new format has brought hundreads of new riders to our sport. Sumter was filled a month before the event. The National in Florida scheduled for March is also already full. Those events top out at 600 riders.

Myself I like the new format. I was the Chairman for 2 Texas State Enduros this past year and this format cut's down on the help that is required for a "Real Time Keeper" and it almost eliminates the Bitching that the riders do during the protest period. My 2 events had no protests. Don't get me wrong! I love old school also but our sport has been on a steady decline for the past 5 years that I know of. This new format has helped clubs to boost the participation in their races.

If you have never chaired a race or even help to put one on you have NO IDEA what work is involved in putting an event on. I urge everyone to help out your local club. You will gain a new respect for the events to which you like to ride.

Okay go ahead and "Stone" me now!
