Oh I was wondering if I could get some input on our race we are going to hold. Our race coordinator wants to remove the masters cat and just have the following: elite 4/5, elite 1/2/3, and womens/juniors race. He feels that it is too much to ask for the Collegiate Mens A to race at 6pm and then do a RR the next day at 8am. Is it just me or does it sound like he belongs on the officating crew at the TOC...stage 1???
This is what I would like to run for the race:
elite 3/4 45min start at 8am
womens 1/2/3 & 4 45min
masters 3/4/5 45min
juniors 15-16 20min
juniors 16-18 20min
elite 5 45min
elite 1/2/3 60min
collegiate men d
collegiate men c
collegiate women b
collegiate men b
collegiate women a
collegiate men a start at 6pm
I think that if its such a concern to race the mens A late in the day I can always reverse the collegiate order and put mens A as the first race...........What y'all think about that???

that's a lot of racing, yo.
but, i think the complaint of a late afternoon crit and then RR early am is valid.
i'd say put the collegiate races early, so then you can have them work the event afterwards as volunteers.
and, don't try to slam too many races in there. be selective.
if you have a 35+ 3/4/5 race ... you'll get a lot of racers doing that.
i don't think you'll have a big turnout for a p1/2/3. I'd suggest making it a 2/3/4, or just doing away with that category, all together. Guys who race 1/2/3 can race all the time in NorCal. But, if you do have a 2/3/4 race, you get 2nd race entries from the 3/4 masters (most of reno). just give a good break in between, at least 1 race, but not more than 3.
i'd also suggest making the cat 5 event a 4/5 event. you'll get more entries that way, too.
I'd suggest charging at least $10 for 2nd (or third!) races. $15 not a bad deal, either. Play to pay and all.
