I can officially confirm that both the W2 12 hour event and the Team Bulldog's ROTD WILL NOT be happening in 2007.It's outside of Gettysburg, I believe. I've been considering these (or maybe 1) this year. I think Harlan Price won last year. In general the times seem All-A-Muchy like. SOmeone else posted that the technical is tougher, but there are more fire roads. Or something like that. I've read several people say the technical out there is brutal indeed.
If the 12 hour and ROTD are off for this year, one of these becomes much more likely.

Missed both of these this year due to illness/injury. I was hoping to make sure that didn't happen again in 2007.I can officially confirm that both the W2 12 hour event and the Team Bulldog's ROTD WILL NOT be happening in 2007.

To me this says IMBAman is winning. Sorry that's just how I see it.
Bob & Karen W did tons and tons of TM to get the place in shape for the race and clean up after the race. It really was a lot of thankless work.
I'm going out on a limb here, but the preparation and takedown of a race should be the responsibilities of the promoters/organizers/whatever. I know that the Ws are much appreciated for all of the work that they do, but I'm not sure if "thanks" is the driving force behind promoting or pulling the plug on a race.
aj - i don't know you, and you don't know me, but i can assure you that there is no attitude in my post. maybe i should break it down in terms that are clearer, and you can tell me where the attitude lies
1: "I'm going out on a limb here, but the preparation and takedown of a race should be the responsibilities of the promoters/organizers/whatever" - is this right or wrong?
2: "I know that the Ws are much appreciated for all of the work that they do" - am I incorrect in saying this?
3: "I'm not sure if "thanks" is the driving force behind promoting or pulling the plug on a race" - i can think of about 10 reasons why a race should or should not be run, and even if appreciation of participants was in that list, I would not weigh it as heavy as, say, insurance costs, application fees, permitting issues, sponsorship, etc, etc, etc,.
Quite frankly, I'm disappointed that the 12 hour is not being run, especially since it was on my to do list this year. You seem very passionate about the park and your support of bob and karen, but you should try not to get so defensive over here.
Now I'm not getting defensive here, though what are you alluding to in respect to the above statement ? And again I'm not being defensive, though I kinda feel you dancing around the evil word, "MONEY". Do I win a prize?I'm going out on a limb here, but the preparation and takedown of a race should be the responsibilities of the promoters/organizers/whatever.
