I've never seen a rider meeting before a race like that, and I've never seen a vote take place to determine whether or not a race would take place in its current format.

We had the options of not having the race, not having any cash primes, splitting the race up into Pro/1 and 2 fields, having a devil-take-the-hindmost format (a la le miss-and-out), and various other options I can't recall. It was wierd; the vast majority wanted the race split up yet the race organizers seemed to ignore that particular show of hands. I was one of very few 2s there; I felt confident in my ability to hand it to the majority of the non-Pro/1 crowd, should it come down to that.

My race ended when someone crashed hard right in front of me, and I coulnd't get back on terms with the tail end of the field. Like many SuperWeek races, it ended up being about 50-60 guys, if that, out of 100 (sometimes 150+) starters.
