The TSR crew will be available Weds afternoon and evening at the Crosslands Hotel to check in registered riders and give them their racer packets stuffed with info and goodies. TSR Headquarters mobile phone # is 505-920-5448 if you need assistance upon arrival. Thanks to Landyachtz, Bear Trucks, Dregs, Pressure Drop and Riviera for stepping up as title sponsors! Also thanks to everyone that has paid their entry fees, remember that it's $100 for any 3 races and the Shuttle pass. If you really think you have it in you to do all 5 races then you'll need $25 for each additional race. This is why we put the Bear toward the end...so you can chicken out and say you're too tired (whine) or don't have any more money. Just plan to win some earlier in the week! The Crosstown race on Sunday morning is free so you can only say that you're too tired or hung over. It worked for Mercado last year, but not this time buddy. SCHEDULE OF EVENTS Weds.

Take time now to research and reserve a room, they will be filling up! All of these hotels are on the North end town at I-25 and San Antonio and are right on or next to several of the ditches and venues. CROSSLANDS IS OUR HOME BASE (505) 343-1100 (extended stay) is offering a rate of $45 per night if you stay a week. They have kitchenettes and are OK with people rolling out sleeping bags on the floor, this could make it very affordable for your crew to stay or split the week with other racers coming in for only a few days.

Ditch Slap Shuttles will depart each morning to visit different breakfast places that specialize in New Mexican Cuisine (read CHILE!). You can also get regular old hot cakes etc. for the timid, then we're off to the days riding all fueled up and ready to roll. Words of wisdom from the Marshall. REMEMBER THAT THIS IS A DITCH RACE!!! This is not a Sunday afternoon at a local slalom hill. This is closer to barging a pool than it is to racing. The ditch will be dirty and it may be wet. We will run the race in the condition that the ditch presents itself. We will try to make it as clean as possible. There are nasty hazards in the ditch that will strike you down hard. Skate defensively. Skating in Albuquerque ditches is illegal and you could be arrested for doing it. There are no givens, we are at the mercy of the neighbors, cops and open space rangers. Pay attention to everything that the locals tell you. Large soft wheels and grade 8 kingpins are highly recommended. See you on race day, The Indian School Marshall. 1st Place Finisher: Mostly Mitchell 2nd Place Finisher: Mostly Brunson 3rd Place Finisher: Mostly Ricker and McGuirk Overall Results: Here's the complete results, post race wrap up coming soon!
