A couple of things we need to address....
- You are NOT allowed to ride the hill during the break. Alpine leaves the chairlift open for us to continue racing. Riders are NOT allowed to go anywhere else but to the top of the course.
- There is no reason to miss a gate. The next 2 races can be won or lost by one missed gate. 5th place is better than a DQ. If the last race where to happen again tomorrow night, the boys would not be going to the State Finals.
- Charlie riders - I need you to stick around for the whole race. I know it was rough yesterday because of the cold, but when I have an injured rider that needs to be replaced in the lineup, I can only use a Charlie rider.
Thursday will be the State Final Qualifier. The First and Second place teams of the boys and girls go to the State Finals. If there is no school, there will have to be a decision made about what is going to happen. I will let you know as soon as I know.
Tuesday the 8th will be the Individual State Finals Qualifier. It is a time trial format just like what we did the first of the year. The only difference is that I am only allowed to Time Trial 5 Alpha, 5 Bravo and 5 Charlie riders. I will post that list Monday.
There will be emails going out soon for food and refreshment volunteers for the State Finals .... when you respond, please make sure to REPLY ALL.
We're planning on having a wax party the night before the State Finals. The Dudas family has volunteered their home for us to all get prepared for the race. I'll forward information once we get closer.
