Supercross once more

The Poosher just sent me an email asking that the Supercross poster be posted. At first I assumed that he hadn't noticed that it was already posted a couple of days ago. But then I noticed that this version is different. Perhaps he found a spelling error to include. In any case, here it is:


Check out the sweet prize payouts. That should help make it a fast field--i.e., FGBC unfriendly. We may be exactly what we are, but we are not terribly fast. But then again, kids race for free. Much more FGBC-friendly. Same thing on Saturday. This is a good trend. Out of province riders race for free too. If it wasn't a 30 hour drive, I'd consider it.

Ian adds the following:

- New course for 2008!

- A total of $1000 of prizes, including $500 cash!

- New course is fun and fast – a little bit easier than past years, since it’s part of a double cross weekend (but you won’t be unchallenged)

- This year’s course is even more spectator friendly than past years, and, as always, the Belgian Club will be open for those needing to “warm up” with a beverage or snack. Bring your noisemakers, bring your friends and cheer the racers on!

If anyone was on the fence, hear this: the fine folks at Half Pints have supplied enough schwag to kit yourself out for a week. Hot lap primes*!

And Celia's jewellery has generously offered some sterling silver jewellery primes* for the women.

We'll have special primes* throughout the race (for the field, not just for the leaders) to spread some of the prizing bounty around - should keep things interesting.

*Prime (say "preem", it's francais, you know) = prize for the first rider/first rider in the pack on that lap.

And... in case anyone is concerned about being able to do 2 races in one weekend, know that the course is a little easier than last year - more of a spinners' course, with higher average speeds, I imagine. So no excuses!!
