NEWS RELEASE: December 24, 2020 Update SOURCE: Bootleg Canyon Gravity Racing The January Downhill race (2021 DVO Nevada State Gravity Champs Enduro presented by GT Bicycles) has officially sold out. We apologize to the many racers that did not register in time, but a couple of dozen entries remain for Saturday’s Enduro race. We are seeing the DVO Mob in Mojave in February and even the DVO Reaper Madness events start to fill up as well, so if possible, please sign up as soon as you can for those events. Series news: We will count only 2 races instead of all 3 to keep the DVO Winter Gravity Series alive and competitive. We realize this may result in more ties than usual, so we will figure out a new tie break rule that works for this series. The Optimistic Wait List Idea: We just created a Wait List for DH and you will see it on the registration page called, “DH if Guidelines change on 1-15, 2021”. There is no charge or credit card needed to get on the Wait List, just your name and email. Here is the optimistic part. On January 15, 2021 (the same day as the event starts), Nevada governor, Steve Sisolak will make a speech regarding the 3-Week Pause that ended up being an 8-Week Pause. If he relaxes state guidelines to where they were prior to this 8-Week Pause, an additional 50 DH entries would be available for Sunday. If you are on that Wait List, you will be notified immediately by email and have a short window of time to sign up. We are constantly monitoring the ever-changing COVID pandemic, studying safe practices, and thinking outside the box so these events can continue in a safe manner. We greatly appreciate your understanding and patience throughout this unusual time.
