There are only three weeks until the first annual Talimena Drive Xtreme Downhill. The details are in their final stage. The United States Forestry Dept is making sure we have all of our ducks in a row. Oklahoma is excited about having racers from all over the world to compete on June 15th and 16th.

The Talimena Drive Xtreme Downhill was originally scheduled as the US National Championship but has been upgraded to World Cup status by the IGSA. The event is also a World Cup for the IIDA and the GBA. We have been told to expect all of the top ranked racers in the world. The event will be filmed and produced by Drop In TV. This is the same production company that films Hot Heels. We are very excited about having this first year event documented for us all to remember. The press will be on site and we will need volunteers to provide interviews, if you are interested please let me know.

As scheduled, registration and tech inspection will begin on Friday the 14th. Due to the high number of entries expected we will have to open registration and tech around 2pm. Please come early to beat the rush and have all of your race and safety gear ready. Registration and tech will be available on Saturday morning as well and then practice will begin. Practice will run as quickly as possible to allow a maximum number of runs for everyone. Qualifying will be that afternoon with racing on Sunday. We are expecting a very large spectator turnout and now with Drop In TV filming us, it will prove to be an incredible time on the hill.

We are working on a couple of surprises along the way, like the racers party on Saturday night! This party is open to all that want to attend. You can purchase meal tickets at the registration tent. Food is so far from the racecourse so we are working on having lunches catered for the racers on Saturday and Sunday for a small fee. Lunch tickets will also be available at the registration tent.

Its time to mail in your entry! You can avoid a late fee by having your entry form postmarked by June 3rd, and remember that $25 of each entry fee goes towards a prize purse for that discipline. Print out the attached entry form and get ready to race on what will become one of the best downhill courses in the world!

SEE YOU ON THE TALIMENA DRIVE!!!
