[RC] Disappearing 100's & Race of Champions - Naomi PrestonJust to echo what Cindy said about the Race of
Champions. It's what got me to start doing 100's in the late
80's. I remember LOTS of riders doing 100's just so they
could qualify for the ROC. And yes, I'm sure it cost a TON of
money, but Susan was also great at getting BIG sponsors. Like a horse
trailer as an award for 1st place (won by Becky & Rio). The
entry fee wasn't cheap either......but people were willing to pay it,
because it was a GREAT event. With the right marketing strategy
and people, maybe AERC could replicate it someday. All it takes are
some BIG sponsors!
Just my 2 cents worth!
