Why is there no east side race?

Has anyone ever considered trying to organize one?

I think allowing a specific amount at first and then increasing participation allowance might be ideal!

I bet even the local Friends and Tourism groups would help fund/promotion it.

If we pondered this idea, of an east side Dirty South, where would you think the best routes be at?
 
We did Assault on Williams Hill last year as an unofficial race. It was tons of fun and pretty competitive.
 
I don't know if we want it to currently. It was part of the SoIL racing series this year.
Maybe let it grow on its own.

I know many locals don't go to Fat Tire Fest because it became so "corporate".
