I've been away too long, just got back and realized White Rock is coming up soon. 

Who's going?

Who's going to smoke them and who's not? 

Anyone in the know want to share?

team

1. a group of people forming one side in a sports competition

2. a number of people organized to function cooperatively as a group

Has FCRCC finally put together their roster?  I heard they're still looking for the best of the best.  No doubt they'll clean up at every festival this year (if they use their fly in's), but I don't consider them a 'team'.  A group of paddlers maybe, but not a team.  Looks like other top notch teams are going the same path as FCRCC this year as 'teams' get ready for Toronto.  Alot of new faces on the top crews this year.  To bad so sad for those that didn't make the cut, maybe they should all get together and form a new team.

Hey paddleboy why did you switch teams?????  Did you get too big for your spandex on PR????

Such rhetorical questions Mr. Secret Weapon.......why don't you take a closer look at your definition of "TEAM" in particular # 2.
Must be a bit of jealousy....perhaps wanting to share the spandex on PR with him????

Back on Topic....
I believe from what I have heard.....False Creek Mix is going,  Pacific Reach, Roli Masters, DWW(not sure if DWW (A and B are going)...and a few others....it's been pretty quiet on the creek these days....not much gossip...or I'm slowly fading away.
Should be an interesting event.....if the winds stay calm.  Should be a good fight with FCRCC Mix on top. 

Just my predicition to help you out a bit Mr. Tigger

[Secret Weapon]

1st - FCRCC
2nd- Pac Reach
3rd- Roli
4th- Subaru
5th- Swordfish

These are my placings if all of the above teams are entered.  I haven't seen any confirmations yet.

[tiger]

I have heard that Pac Reach and Swordfish are not going, guess we need the list of teams then we can start slinging the mud around 

Anyone have the list of teams, anyone listening?

you missed all the stuff that the moderators deleted. 

I wouldn't really say delete... more like moved and created an even bigger mess. See here

Please keep this thread on topic with discussions on the White Rock races... and with that I'll add my two cents

Top Five in no particular order...

• FCRCC Mixed
• ROLI CANADA
• Strathcona's Dangerous When Wet or DWW
• Dragonhearts Team Ultimate
• Dragonauts

[Secret Weapon]

Now that we know who's going here is my new list of the winners

1.  FCRCC 'A' boat
2.  FCRCC 'B' boat
3.  Dragonauts
4.  DWW
5.  Roli

[Colossus]

and here is the race grind for this weekend  http://alexlangley.com/WhiteRockGrid.pdf

[tiger]

Hmmm, being the first event of the year and not seeing teams as much this year, I'll take a shot:

1.  FCRCC Mixed 1
2.  DWW
3.  Roli
4.  FCRCC Mixed 2
5.  Dragonhearts
6.  Dragonauts is an unknown, is this Koi + additional paddlers or what?

I think between 2nd and 6th is a wash, who is more comfortable with a 250m.  250m is a race won on the start just not enough time to make up room if you miss the start.  In addition, who has their team showing up.  I hear most of the teams are not necessari;y using all of their "Alcan" paddlers.  We shall see.

Wish I was going to be there

[Garbage Miles]

I rub the all-seeing smelly garbage can, and here is what I smell:

1) FCRCC 2
2) FCRCC 1
3) DWW
4) ROLI
5) Ultimate

Dragonauts could be up there, but it really depends on who they bring over.  In fact, there could be many surprises.  All for fun right.  It's a charity event.  Surf's up!
