anybody interested in doing a Ocoee (OC1) downriver race ... might be a good summer-thyme thing... maybe a ribbon, real informal... GDI all the way, could do a mass start ... would only need a starter and finisher ... rafts in the drops/rapids would just add to the fun
if small could do on a weekend, just show up and go... if less than maybe twenty-five we ought to be good to go
...if got too large maybe a Sunday afternoon, or maybe a Friday?
It was done, once, back in the early 80s. A friend of mine won, paddling a Blue Hole OCA. Some of us not dumb enough to race were swatting gnats, waiting with throw ropes stationed in strategic places.
