Title: Round 1 USDR Red Mtn
Post by: Charlie & Darlene Barney - Life Members, 2015 President on January 28, 2010, 09:28:50 am

Anyone interested in doing a short fun desert race or series. The events are like euro scrambles 11 to 14 mile courses and it is a six race series. Nothing to join just race entry. The first round is in two weeks. The race flyer is below in the attachment. I will be going and doing the series it would be great to see other Viewfinders checking it out.

That is the weekend of the Taft GP so I can't make it either. I wouldn't mind trying one though.

I understand Taft is that weekend but when was the last time any of you were at a GP other then our race which includes me as well. Other then Kieth we have a poor showing again including me. The way I see it is not many, if any Viewfinders ride GP's and if some are planning on it like Chris great, I say good luck have a great time. But as a racing club sometime's it is good to step out of the D-37 box. I just wanted to let everyone know there are other fun desert races going on out there.

Charlie ;D

Hey Charlie, it does sound interesting but from reading the flyer, how does the course hold up? Since they allow a practice lap and it is a short course, I would think it would get pretty hammered.

It is a desert race but overall they hold up pretty good. In 2008 I ran both races on Sunday and it was not bad. I must say they do a very good job starting on time, great course markings, interesting courses but not hard by any means and a good family event. Dave the guy that runs it is a distict guy himself and seams to know what works most of the time.
