A Dirty Moose
Terry does 90% of the work on the race... I do a bit of flailing about and rounding up sponsors and then a whole multitude of people help cover the rest to make this a great event. One of those great people is Evan Schmitt. Evan is a great film maker and was kind enough to put together our very cool little commercial for the race. I believe he is all of 18 years old and already has two feature films to his credit and doesn't look like he is slowing down. Make sure you check out www.dirtymoose.com for trailers of his most recent work. I believe there may even be a secret show of his latest movie the night before the event... stay tuned.
Make sure you also check out the facebook page that Evan created at http://www.new.facebook.com/event.php?eid=23122768825&ref=mf

Stories from Star Crossed
Terry has been killing it with blog updates and I feel bad because this was my idea. Not sure if I agree that freshly painted barriers are more interesting than.... watching freshly painted barriers dry but he tries.
I have had some great experiences over the past several years at Star Crossed. Whether it was the year Adam Craig had the race won and biffed on the last lap, Barry Wicks taking a digger in the lead halfway through, or the Deckerator winning 2 years in a row it has always been fun. The spectators always add the best flavor to the race with wacked out outfits (canadians) or the guys that show up for the beer first and racing second. Some of the best stories are the ones that happen off the race track. The year Todd Wells got "urinal caked" at the bar later or watching Geoff Kabush wrestling random dudes after the race (or taking beers from the crowd during the race) or watching Anthony Dickson wear his tighty whities and race the womens race. I suspect that many new funny things will happen at this years race and I hope I am involved.
Anyone got a good story? Best one gets into the race free and a few beverages.
Send me an email at steve.westoverATgmail.com and I will post the best story I get.

Weiners
I feel comfortable talking about weiners in this forum.. Why? because they involve eating them - as in Franfurter that is showing up for Star Crossed again this year. I don't know what it is but after setting up the course all day, chatting with friends, having several beers, and watching the races a big DOG hits the spot. I am definitely going to have a few before the night is over

Star Crossed
Star Crossed is coming together quickly and it is looking like it is going to be better than last year. With our entrance into the NACT series and the talent and sponsors that we are attracting this year it looks like it will be a fun event for all. I will highlight riders and sponsors once those get confirmed.
One thing that concerns me is that I never got the name of the two crazy Canadians with body paint and wigs . I want to make sure they know they are invited back and I would like to hook them up with some VIP passes into the event. T he fans and riders are what make this event great so please let me know if you can get me the email address of those guys so I can personally invite them down this year.
