I don't follow west coast racing very closely but saw an article somewhere where one of the pros was being really honest and saying he thought the one hour races weren't much of a challenge (or something to that effect). I didn't realize they were only racing for one hour. I certainly agree, that's nothing for a pro or the vast majority of all off road racers (even us lowly old farts!). I know it's two motos over two days with some sort of mx or ex component. So my questions are - what exactly is the format? What are they trying to achieve? Any history of how they got to a one hour race? And is it popular among the non-pros? What do you think of their format?
the WORCS pros are now doing 1-1.5 per race per day (Sat and Sun) I think that Sean R and the WORCS crew should have stuck with longer format single race deal (my opinion. More in fashion with the GNCC gnarley super endurance physical condition style is a real test. However the overall high speeds in WORCS may have played a role in shorting the time on course (?) for rider safety?. One of our crew raced WORCS pro in 03-04 (top 15 rider) and most of those races were in the 2 hour mark, but were one pro race per weekend (as well as for all the competitors). GNCC is still in the 3 hour zone right? Can always call WORCS and ask what was the logic in the 2 day shorter race deal, they are very easy to speak with.
