I am sure many of us would love to race there, and gladly pay for it, but with so many races in the northeast, it is difficult to find that extra time to go north. Eastern States Cup is a huge series that does not leave us many free weekends, this weekend of july 5th/6th included, is an enduro and downhill event at killington. I can say, the promoter of the ESC would nearly kill a man for a bromont race in the series, so work in some talks about a joint event with George Ulmer next year and you will get lots of US racers up there.

I don't know, I don't think those beret-wearing cigarette-smoking Frenchies like us U.S. racers for some reason. Who KNOWS why

PLEASE READ - there needs to be coordination next year on scheduling between Quebec and ESC.

This year, the TWO biggest events in BOTH eastern Canada and east coast US were on the same weekend.

Tremblant Canada cup conflicted with Mountain Creek Pro GRT
Bromont Quebec Champs conflicted with Plattekill Pro GRT

I would guess that both events would have seen at 30% more attendance if schedules were coordinated. The pro class would have also been well over 100+ at each event.

Good comment!

We are going to discuss with the FQSC (Quebec's Cycling Federation). 3 out of 5 rounds of the QC cup + 4 B-Maaxx races are held on the south part of QC, not far from the border. I'm pretty sure most ESC racers would love to try those venues.

I originally wanted to plan that in my summer in conjunction with my summer holiday in Europe, but figured it's a bit of a financial stretch this year. So I did some riding in Europe and took a nice holiday and put off the trip to Québec on hold, but it is on my radar. Part of the problem is the cost some of the US airlines want to charge and the relative lack of Air Canada flights to my nearest airports.

Otherwise the area is my favourite area to vacation; almost a regular there during the winter.
