Title: 2008 Alcan races Post by: rtsdhvy on May 19, 2008, 10:29:45 AM I just visited the adbf website for a list of teams and the list looks pretty short. Can anyone tell me when it was last updated??
Also, False Creek itself looks a bit narrower this year. Will there still be 8 boat heats?? If so I would imagine the lanes will be a bit narrower, making for some very close contact during the races.

Can anyone tell me when it was last updated?? It hasn't been updated for some time. For instance, Calgary Race Club paid the entry fee a while ago and still is not on the list. I'm sure with everything going on around False Creek, the organizers have more important things to do than update the team list at this time.

Seems the area south of science world looks more cramped than ever before. Any thoughts or availability to the lot where Indy was held, or is that too far. Any one know?

Per the minutes from the Managers Meeting of April 16, 2008, the Racer's Village will be the same as last year, i.e. the north side of False Creek.

Looks like a pretty good mix of teams. I notice Pac Reach 2 is entered but not PR1. Are they going to Toronto that weekend?

If anyone has a chance, it is a nice ride/walk/run. |
