Mark -

Thanks for bringing this to light. I'll take it upon myself to take this info along with some additional back-up, and put it in front of Bodie's face at the next USSA meeting in March. Maybe we can get it addressed. I know that the innovative Fleet 204 guys built a lumber ramp covered in indoor/outdoor carpet to create their own access during the Syracuse Alter Cup - perhaps something like that with a floating dock could be managed at the race site for the week. There's got to be a solution - all it takes is making it clear that someone gives a hoot. We rarely see a single person from the Tornado class at USSA meetings - this keeps their priorities from becoming USSA priorities. But with a little representation and advocacy, results are likely.
