Didn`t know this was coming. Was it posted here? How many spectators? How many racers? Did it have good public response to see the racing?

It wasn't well advertised- I just happened to see it on Facebook. They had 75 entries with a waiting list by about a week before the event: sold out faster than expected for sure. Spectators: maybe 200 at the most. The public response was awesome: definitely a good course for the huge variation in racing/ability levels and lots of challenges to keep the spectators oohing and ahhhing.... ;)

I am surprised that many people would ride a hard pack course with a long track. Maybe 144 at the most but, 160's range wow. Be like taking a long track to a snocross track lol.

Yup... It was a Snocross track with a hill thrown in and that's what we did ;) 100% fun and I would do it again!!

I was considering entering as well but because I only rode one day in November this winter I was afraid of hurting myself. A 163 isn't my choice for snowcross either. I miss the hill climbs in Barkerville and Powderking to. Those were the days.

I was terrified... Especially after we got the tour in the morning before the race. ICY and steep with a severe off camber climb. I made it my goal to just worry about making the course cleanly and forget about time... I let the big boys do the racing and the crashing and just concentrated on survival ;) I can't wait to practice tho for next year and aim for a strong showing time wise. Maybe I will be able to rope some girls into competing too so I don't feel like the lone sheep. My daughter has a SnoPro 500 that I think would be wicked to try out...
