 Agreed, and I would if I didn't have family coming from out of state. Maybe I can get my Grandma to come watch the race...

 I really wish they had researched the other races that are going on the same weekend in the east............ Fail. Change the date!

 Yeah no doubt! I tried to email the race coordinator to see if the race could be moved to the following weekend and the email address provided didn't work! If people have to choose between Mtn Creek and Massanutten the vast majority is going to pick mountain creek all day long. Massanutten is fun but it's no mountain creek and the Yee-Ha isn't part of a race series.

 Can't agree more! All my races seem to land right on top of each other this year!

 Competing with the pro grt at mountain creek? Why? There was a free weekend without conflict may 10-11.

 I am not sure that the Massanutten staff keep up with the entire East Coast schedule. But I agree. It seems to be a common problem that happens all too often.

 There is also a POC ESC/ PRO GRT race at Mountain Creek Vernon,NJ that same weekend.
