From what I understand, the Brushy Mountain park and the promoting club decided not to hold the event.

I heard it was an issue with the insurance and ambulance requirements.

The race is pretty much a go ! The final details on the land are being ironed out by Greg Holder now. The problem with the first site was wording in the contract.The race will be a little further south though!!Teddy is up to date on this so any questions need to be addressed to him.

Man, that is awsome if Greg found another site to hold that race. That is really good news.

Don't get your hopes up too much yet.  Greg does NOT have a location as of now. He is working on it but it is not a GO. At least not yet.
I am not saying it won't happen but it is not a done deal by a long shot.
That was as of 6pm this evening.  I speak to Greg at least once a day on average.

I was saying just what Greg was telling me to say by phone also.He must feel sure of the site to say this.I guess that what he was saying when he said "Pretty much a GO" and this was at 7:00 P.M. 12/16/08.
