First, thank you to everyone who came out to Osage Hills State Park last weekend- racers, friends, volunteers, family, everyone. We really appreciate the support and participation in our event.
You can see race results online here:
Paul McEntire (with Entirely Creative) is editing his photos from the weekend and I will have a link to the pics soon. They will be available to view on his photo page and you can purchase pics there too.
Kari and I are cleaning up and dusting off everything from this race, and next week we'll begin planning next year's DoubleShot Racing. So stay tuned.
I must say, I was again a little disappointed in the turnout for the race. It takes a lot of time and money to put on an event. And it sucks a little when people don't show up on a whim. We purposely offer equal prize money for men and women, and then the women didn't even turn out to support us this year, except for Kara and Ginger. And most of the fastest male racers didn't turn out either. I'm not sure why, but it makes our decision-making about next year's races much more difficult. Do we keep putting on a race that not many people seem to care about? Is it worth it? How do we change things to influence more participation? I don't know. If you have any comments or suggestions, I would be happy to hear them.
Thanks again. Definitely not trying to take away from the people who DID come out. You guys were awesome, and we had a lot of fun.
(I just wish we could have fun with a lot more people.)
