ERCU Board Seeks Member Feedback about Gold Cup

The question of whether the two-day format of the ERCU Gold Cup has been raised to the ERCU Board of Directors, and the board has decided it would like to receive feedback from the full membership.

Below, you’ll find an opportunity to participate in a quick one-question online poll to provide your feedback to the club. There’s also an opportunity to provide comment if you’d like to. This poll is anonymous, and we will not know who’s sharing their thoughts and opinions. None of them will be made public, either. All feedback provided will help the board know which direction to go with the Gold Cup format.

Options include keeping the two-day format as it is; To keep it a two-day event with Saturday being an optional day of testing and time trials, for fun. The final option is to change back to a one day event and eliminate time trials.

The option to eliminate time trials would require a change in the rule book as time trials are currently mandated by the club’s rule book. For this reason, and for the ability to continue moving forward with reserving race sites for the 2025 racing schedule, we need to hear back from members as quickly as possible. This poll has been closed. Results are shared below.

Thank you, in advance, for your participation to help advise the club’s board. The board will take the members feedback into account as a decision is made as to the future of the ERCU Gold Cup.
