We have already laid out plans to make it bigger and better next time around - we hope to do both a Saturday night event, as well as a 3-Wednesday series after Tabor ends next year. We also will borrow from the track and separate the initial pool into an "A" flight and a "B" flight - thereby ensuring every rider at least 4 heats instead of the one-and-done facet we had this time around. It was our first go, and with many first go's, you learn what to do to improve as we did. Yes!
