Have to say to start it the weekend after the birds wasn't that great of a plan if you are looking for the beast turnout. I doubt Mike will make it and a whole bunch of others. Would actually like to see a schedule announced somewhere too, maybe on the NEOT thread. The first race being officially confirmed less than 2 weeks before it is happening and not even on it's intended thread pretty much sucks. Forgive me if the schedule is posted somewhere else but I checked the NEOT thread and Nick's website and see nothing! Terry V.
