Same dates as the Mile High Indoor Championships, eh?

Your weight limit on 1/12 scale must be an error, 930g? Should be around 730g.

oops. the 1/12 weight is a typo. yes, 730 is correct.

As far as the dates go, early / mid April is when we have historically run the race and we have other events on both sides of this race.
