The TSSS for 2007-2008 is done.  It's been a fantastic experience and a lot of fun, and a lot of work!  We've learned heaps about how to make these races run smoothly, we've been a bit lucky (no crashes, no major race incidents, only lost one day due to weather), we've had some minor mistakes we've learned from and we'll be back next summer with improvements and we very much hope an enthusiastic and passionate team of people to run the series and to race it.  I'll have a race report online tomorrow (Mon 7^th). 

I got a real thrill from being part of it, and watching riders achieve things they didn't think they could, have a try at something they'd never done, and perform at their best under pressure.  Handing the T1 frame to Big Jeremy today was a great experience, and watching Dino pull off an incredible day's racing today was icing on the cake.

On the whole the series is, I think, a success, but we cannot sit back and say "we're perfect", we can do better, we can make the draw less error prone, we can promote the series better.  We can make our riders feel more welcome and we can give better information to spectators. Please, if you're reading this and you care about the series for next season, have a think about how you can help improve it.  We need your ideas and suggestions and if you want more match sprinting, we need your input.

I'd like to,  numbers permitting, have 4 grades next season, which will hopefully tighten up the time differences in C grade such that every race is close and give some of the newcomers more chances to be competitive.  For that, we'll need more riders to have a go.  We need YOU next season.  Match sprinting is alive and real and YOU can have a go.  Put October 2008 in your diary, and come and race with us!
