Join in on the conversation about our Gold Cup format
With rising boat counts and the club's growth continuing, we saw the 2021 ERCU Gold Cup last into the dusk hours of race day. By the time we were packing our vehicles and leaving the race site after this year's Gold Cup, it was already dark. That prompted a conversation about whether we need to make changes to the Gold Cup format.
A couple of ideas have already come out, but the club is interested in an ongoing conversation over the next month or so, in order to provide all members a chance to share their thoughts.
While everyone agrees that the Gold Cup should always be the most special event we have - featuring four flights of five-lap heats for each of our two divisions and five classes; while also respecting the Gold Cup's tradition of being the most difficult to win: A test of endurance, consistency, as well as mechanical and driving skill.
The first ideas to come into discussion include, leaving it alone and retaining the status quo; keeping a one-day format and eliminating the time trials or turning it into a two day event at the same park.
We would love to keep the conversation going for the next few weeks before we need to finalize the schedule, and hear from our members what their preference is. Click here to join in on the conversation, or comment on the post regarding this on our Facebook page.
