Not only did he cut a section out he was also cheating by riding a Scalpel
29er. If it was up to me I'd ban him for keeps.
can we just put an asterisk next to their names and move on?
right next to Barry Bonds and Lance Armstrong
I'm not going to chime in anymore on either side of the issue, but will say that the time and place for this to be handled is at the race, not the day after. It seems clear that there was some suspicion yesterday, so that should have been brought to the attention of the scoring team/race promoter within a timely fashion of results being posted- this is the standard at ALL races, sanctioned or not. After that, the window is closed. In this scenario, the promoter was made aware of the situation on race day and it was resolved. The outcome is certainly debatable and its an unfortunate situation that I'm sure all involved would rather not have to deal with- but its done, results are finalized.
Scoring and running races is difficult, especially when racers want results as quickly as possible. Sometimes judgement calls have to made quickly. It seems like Darkhorse had another home run event overall.
When the results were posted Norm and Utah were not even listed on it...It had Kirts team as finishing first and my friends team finishing second...There was nothing to bring up to the promoter! Nothing was ever made public (to my knowledge) by the promoter that this is the decision he made other wise I'm sure many people would have filed complaints day of...Cut Course...miss turn...= DQ!!
you're beating a dead horse.

Hey Norm...In your next podcast please summarize how Norm "the Race Promoter" would have handled this...
Isn't that what this forum is for? So are you saying 50% of racers would agree with this call? I think the number would be like 95% plus disagreeing with it. We could have Pearl set up a poll if needed.
I hope Clapper doesnt see this thread, poor ol bastard
