1st place Mens Overall 60 Miles
2nd place Mens Overall 60 Miles
3rd place Mens Overall 60 Miles

1st place Masters Overall 60 Miles. (45 years and up)

1st place Woman Overall 60 Miles

1st place Master 30 Miles (45 years and up)

BTW, There will be NO Transportation offered for this Event/Race. No one asked for it, so We just cancealed it for this Event. Maybe next year.

I know that everyone is looking forward to this Event/Race, and y'all have no idea how much I am too, since I did not even make it all the way last year...lol..I am having a very small problem, but I know with all the people coming, that this small problem will be taken care of...I need Volunteer's..I am looking for at least 8 people, and these people will be given jobs to do at the Event/Race...i.e, keeping time, help land kites, collect money from the kiteboarders for the Event/Race and for T-shirts, etc..I will need 4 people at the 30 mile finish, and 4 people at the 60 mile finish..Any help afterwards at the Trophy Presentation would be helpful too..

I'll be bringing at least one volunteer with me, Leslye. She said she'll be happy to help keep times or sign people up, but she can't land kites. I'll see if I can round up some more.

Thanks Latino, for bringing all the Riders and Volunteers..AWESOME...

I am SORRY to Say...The 72 Hour Notice is being POSTED....There is NO RACE this coming Weekend..If You are like Me, and there is a DEEP Passion in the Blood for this Sport, and it never ends, but to know that "Mother Nature" is NOT going to be here for US for this Event/Race, it is hard to post this info...We are now looking to do this Event/Race the following weekend, the 27th or 28 th of February, but to also know that the 6th and 7th of March are the Back-up dates...

I am also asking Sean Farley, and ALL the Other Top Pro's to contact Their Sponsors, and to let them know this info, so hopefully They can STAY, and be part of this Event/Race/Charity next weekend, if "Mother Nature" does come thru..It would be a Shame to know that Y'all were here, and did not get to race against an Amputee, who KICKed everyone's Butt last year..Sean R. just called Me personal, and told me quote "I plan to Kick Everyone's Ass again this year, period"...You heard it here, from last years "King of the 60 mile Downwinder"...

We will be doing something different this year for the "Start"...Two things:

First, there will be a 10 minute Delay between the 60 mile downwinders and the 30 mile downwinders..If anyone has a comment on this, please feel free to "Comment", we are all ears..

Second, there will be a 10 minute, 5 minute, then a 1 minute start for the Main Event/Race, for the 60 mile downwinder, not the 30 mile...30 Mile downwinder will start 10 minutes right after the 60 mile downwinder starts...


THIS IS A 72 HOUR POST...NO RACE THIS WEEKEND of the 20th or 21st...

There will still be a Pre-Party the evening before the Event/Race, next week...

The 10 min delay will require some very good record keeping of who started in what group. As the front riders in the second group will be mixed with the back riders in the first group as they get to the 30 mile mark.
