We appreciate all the great comments that everybody gives us. We work really hard to make this the BEST FIRST event of the entire season. I cant wait to see everybody back there again in July '04!!
I’ll be there again this summer. Last years event really was well run and quite competitive. Hopefully I’ll be on a competiting team this year… if not I’ll gladly volunteer to help out again. Hey Dave, know if any more judges are needed?
yeah, i’m with rob on this one waves i’d love to judge or something along those lines. and perhaps i’ll convince 1089 to drag themselves up there this summer. w00t! it was quite the experience and i’m looking forward to 2004 as just as good a time =)
I’ll be there again, the 2003 IRI was the best competition I’ve been to. I wouldn’t miss the 2004 one for the world. Unfortunatly, I doubt my team will be able to attend because that’s a long trip from Florida, but I will definitly do my best convincing to try to get us to go
No its never too late, teams always like to get dates ahead of time so that they can plan for later on down the line. If this were posted next week then it would have a high chance of getting lost in all the chaos. Put the date out early so that mostly everyone will see it before the real FIRST season starts up. We never stop planning the IRI. Why wait until after the Championships are over in mid April to announce the event, and only give teams 2 + months to think about the date?
i would go with the jealous perhaps find someone around there going and beg for a ride? i mean, mike dez (dez250) trekked all the way down to 222’s hometown just to go. maybe take a train down into jersey and beg for a ride from myself or the other sarah going. it IS possible, just takes a little determination.
A) The IRI committee picked a great date.
B) There are several things in the works that will be debuted at the IRI.
C) There’s no way in heck I’m NOT staying at the Omni this year (and missing out on all the fun).
