The Madison CW station is gonna cover the Wiggle War! So all you Wiggle Warriors dress sharp, brush your teeth, and comb your hair. And no potty-mouths.
3rd annual. Slalom, Giant Slalom, and Downhill. I just got it up on the ISSA calendar today. I'm about halfway through the sanctioning form. I'll get it up on the NCDSA forum tomorrow.
The Madison NBC affiliate (WMTV) is also interested, but has not made a committment yet.
Last year we did the DH outlaw with no road closure permits because there is no need to set out cones or timers. Ran 4-man heats with the fastest 2 advancing to the next round. The hill was prolly only a 25mph hill with one 90* bend. But it has a nice long uphill runout and it was easy to keep track of approaching traffic. A lot of advantages to that - even though it was a smaller, less technical hill.
I'd like to do the DH on a different road this year. Longer. Steeper. Starts out with a gentle S-bend followed by a hard left (T-intersection = make the turn or perish), then goes downhill for another couple blocks ... and ends at another T-intersection.
On the new hill we'd have to have spotters at several locations with radios to give the all-clear signal. And even at that, by the time you get to the bottom half of the course, the traffic situation could have changed.
The other option is to go forward with the road closure permits. But that requires me to get approval signatures form 75% of the homes along the route. And that would be a butt-load of homes. It's a big effort to get all the signatures for the road closure permits for the slalom and giant slalom races ... One of the days last year I was walking around in the rain collecting signatures. I don't know if I have the time or energy to try and visit all the homes along the other hill.
We got TV!
