RDS puts on nice events. He really does. At Vernon Hills, I got cash, a gift certificate for pizza, a little medal, and a podium interview from Kenny Labbe. Pretty cool! The problem is, he's a bit old school... like, until the ICA forced him to bikereg there was no pre-registration. The promotions before the event could use a little more intensity. Plus, two of his events this year (Wonder Lake, and Burlington) are on weekends were there's already no shortage of events (and, Wonder Lake put itself right on the weekend that Winfield had been for several years... thankfully the folks at ABR moved that to August). But, even with that "slow growth" model a couple of his races (Vernon, Fox River Grove) are turning into solid early season races. I could see Wonder Lake getting there as well.

If anything, his last couple of races have suffered from too much area racing... we have it good.

Will do. I don't want to jinx anything, but I was talking to one of the guys who went to the meeting last week. He's since sent out some emails to folks in town. The news sounds mostly positive.
