Fall Color Series Starting Order
09/21/09 05:52pm
To facilitate smooth race management with back-to-back races during the 2009 Fall Color Series in September, we're going to try something new with the start order. For the first race of each Fall Color Saturday (1st race only), we'll set up a pursuit start, with the open class and class X starting first, and the E scows last. This will work exactly like we do it on Wednesday nights, so it should be easy to figure out.
