Darin,

I hear you brother but I’ve never understood how we schedule Famoso. I love the facility and staff but our Divisional double is scheduled in the heat when not only are we melting but the starting line turns to grease relegating afternoon runs to pedal fests! I long for events like an open scheduled early in the year where we could utilize it to its full potential. Imagine Division 7 hosting an event where we actually had a chance for a record run. Does anyone recall when we had a pre-season event there that even attracted pro teams? I don’t get it what gives???
