I was thinking of just winging it...

Just kidding...

Trail: I've got some ideas on some "sniggles" to modify the race line from 08 to add some challenge for the "A" riders and to improve overall flow for all riders. These modifications shouldn't take millions of hours to do.

Shuttles: I think (personally) that the camo Dodge that Heffrey (Jeff) came with was the best possible set up. He's also rebuilding the trailer (I traded him some stuff for some labor) so that it will be much easier to load, and when we end up using it at Whaleback it will also be smooth... but anyway... My shuttle situation looks like the Dodge will be the bike hauler with stake bodies on both sides (I still need to ask Jeff but I'm sure he'll be on the program) and one other truck to put peeps in the back. Plain and simple. No trailer this year. If it turns out that it's wet and we can't get people all the way to the top... well... the you get a ride to the middle and then you walk.

I'd reallly like to get some sort of "race line" built at Whale back so that we can possibly have a little race in the fall... nothing serious... and I'm just kicking this around at this point...

Phew!

And then?

At the whale I think aside from the bottom section we have a viable race line now.

As for Arrowhead, The plan sounds good.

I was thinking that it would prolly be pretty cool to have a race at the whale finish in the BMX track! It would be very easy for timing and very spectator friendly!
