Re: [RC] American Endurance - Elizabeth WalkerActually, I think this is the core difference between the grass-roots AERC-style endurance and the FEI-style endurance. My own opinion is that the flat-track style **is** the priority for the WEC type races. If that is wrong, someone please correct me. (Note: I didn't say FEI. I believe there are plenty of "technical" FEI rides. I'm talking specifically about the WEC venue(s), which I believe tend to conform to the UAE flat-track style).Anyhow - assuming that the WEC-style races are predominantly flat- track style, fast races, the choice of track didn't surprise me. I was a bit disappointed, but not surprised.

It is not very far to the Daniel Boone Distance Riders' spectacular home turf, and makes me think the endurance committee is full of either wimps or people that like the flat-track style. Such a waste. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Ridecamp is a service of Endurance Net, http://www.endurance.net.
