I have just been informed that the races for 9-26 & 9-27 are cancelled. SCSC has decided to cancel  the races because of boat count.  There was just not enough entries to pay for the cost of putting on the race.

Any of you Bakersfield boys going out to Famoso this weekend for the "Pinks" races? Theres supposed to be quite a bit of tail there on Saturday 

lame.

well guys i guess that means congratulations are in order for the new 2009 US1 comp jet champion

This is why it's important to pre register, maybe if the racers who hadn't yet registered had pre regged, this race would still be on, you can't expect any promoter to put on an event based on "yeah, we'll be there"

While I agree with this somewhat.......It is difficult to comit with things being the way they economy wise.

Things happen, especially with race boats (and anything high performance for that matter), sponsorships are way down on both side of the fence (Promoters and racers) and there is no way to make slop count the same as skill....

I hope next year treats racing a little better, it's unfortunate how this year turned out for most racing venues. There were only two whitewater races all year (as apposed to ten last year) and spectatorship was piss poor at best, it's the fans that ultimately pay for these events, if the fans don't show, the sponsors are not going to open their wallets...It's a harsh reality, be this is where we are for a while.

maybe true, but the sanction never got approved/released. so there was no way to pre-reg.
