I haven't heard a complaint yet! Not a bad turn out at all for the first event, thirty-three riders and a crap load of spectators. Hopefully word will spread and we will have even more riders for the next event.

Gary, great job gettng things off the ground with DRA and your events. I started Delta Hangtime a few years ago because there was nothing like this around so I am glad to see more organized events supporting our sport on the Delta. Thanks also for adjusting your date in September so our events don't overlap (DeltaHangTime.com - Sept 16). Ride on!!! Peter Duncan.
