Title: Water's Edge Sprint Series Post by: DBWTim on December 02, 2005, 08:58:08 AM For those that aren't aware, here's the details to the Sprint Series...

So get ready for explosive starts, surging transitions and 250m dashes as your team gets an early start on the racing season.

Unfortunately, I haven't heard what the field consists of. My guess is that a lot of the teams want to get the feeling of who's taking part. Just to draw some flames to warm us up for the winter... Some local teams I would like to see in this series the new, revived, Acme FODB Phat Phish RGL United Dragonhearts Team Magnum Just Dragon Along TD Lightning Roli Subaru? I only chose local teams since I don't see any teams that don't practice in the creek, coming during a weeknight participating. Title: Incentives Post by: Maggie on December 04, 2005, 12:10:13 AM Other than pride in beating another team, what are the incentives for participating? I couldn't find this on the website. Seems pretty expensive to pay to duel with other teams in practice.

I couldn't find this on the website. Seems pretty expensive to pay to duel with other teams in practice. These are organized races, not practices. $520+gst for 18 races seems okay to me. That's a bit over $30 per race. I'd like to see my team participate if the boats aren't all comp or top level rec teams. Also, this looks like a first small step in the direction of having true "sport racing", which I think has been sorely lacking in this area.

With each stroke, they hit each other in the back, making each paddler paddle harder! :lol: would you happen to know of FCRCC would participate in this event?

Anyone know which teams are interested/considering the Sprint Series? Title: Re: Water's Edge Sprint Series Post by: OC4Life on December 29, 2005, 11:09:17 AM I hope they do not use the whole creek and affect other teams which are trying to practice on those evenings.! :? Sounds like somethng reserved for the more competative teams anyways
Title: Re: Water's Edge Sprint Series Post by: Colossus on December 29, 2005, 04:23:49 PM Sounds like somethng reserved for the more competative teams anyways not really... its meant as a fun thing for everyone/anyone to get in a bit more racing. kinda like going go-karting with a bunch of people every now and then. some people will be better drivers than others, just like some teams will be faster than others. its for fun more than competition |
