Being involved with the production I've decided to play innocent. There may be some unusual feelings but I don't think they're really too worried about it. The BBORR people have already said they can't do another event...time and road availability. The event is 6 months and almost a hundred miles away from the BBORR . I will still be a part of the BBORR so I hope there aren't
any hurt feelings. This year's race was filled in less than a month so there is a need for another race in the area. Everyone says BB is the best event, hopefully this one will be as good. I'm running the road in 2 weeks just to check it out again. Wanna go along? :)
