Have been lucky enough to live close to a lot of good C1 races over the last few years. in RI they used to have 2 C1/C2 race weekends that were packed because it was in Providence and one near Prov. with easy access. (unfortunately the venue became cost prohibitive and moved to the middle of nowhere CT and that atmosphere was gone). But in those years was able to meet and chat with a ton of the top pro's who are extremely nice and welcoming to fans. Jpow, Tim Johnson, Katie Keough, Ellen Noble, Steven Hyde, Emma White etc.. Hell I even saw Ted King just there to watch with the Cdale tent.
Then 2 years ago we had Nationals here in Hartford, decent amount of people but paid parking and the weather did not help get a better crowd. It was a damn good race though.
