I agree with Big Country up there, that incorporating a quadcross like section with logs, tires, jumps, etc.. would definitely improve your spectator attendance. This is just what the GNCC has done to improve that and its been a success. As far as racing 5-6 mile loops, is alittle small. It gives the racer a feeling of a never ending race, lap after lap with trail conditions getting worse by the second. Most XC racers prefer alittle longer course 8-12 mile. The trail stays in better condition and gives the racer the feeling of not getting tried as fast. You talk to some XC racers a most will tell you that those shorter courses they couldn't wait for that checkered flag, simply b/c there tried of going around the same beat up course. But it is understandable if land size is the issue.
I would definitely support your XC series. My family and I would make ever race as possible. I will also continue to support FTR QS. But by the looks of it there will be no QS only HS and it is a know fact that most of the HS racers do not want quads at there races. It just might be a good thing that a new organization from a new prospective is available. And personly I would like to say thanks.
I wouldn't miss this race for nothin'. The first GNCC is always exciting, just wish there was alittle more time between race #1 and #2, back to back races is alot to deal with.
If your going, good luck, and enjoy the new course!!
