At the 250m Gorge Super Sprints, there were some impressive teams.  Does anyone know much about these teams?

Absolute Adrenaline
Capital Iron Dragons
Gorging Dragons (http://www.gorgingdragons.com)
Navy Dragon Anchors
Precision Impossible
Xtreme Reach (http://members.shaw.ca/xtremereach/home.html)

Also, what happened to Koi Dragonauts and GRPC United/Comp Pool?

Yes, the racing was pretty exciting with a few to close to call races and some impressive finishes. Absolute is a kick ass second year team who gets stronger as the season prgresses. Big paddlers with lotsa power and a much different stroke than most teams, but hey it works!.(I've had the pleasure of paddling with them and they are a good harsd party and padlle team!)
Capital irons have lost some paddlers but still looked good and should not be taken lightly
Navy, if they could bring their rate down a bit more, is tough and had lots of power

Gorging is tough to beat even if they are a self proclaimed
"Beer league" team and while they do not have the same drive as last year can still put the boots to a lot of "comp" teams
I donot know much about precision and Extreme but based upon what i saw I think a few Vancouver Comp teams better watch these young teams as well....cause they can kick some serious a$$
