Due to multiple concerns over the conditions in the fifth regularity concerning the paving work on Hwy 620, and the lack of clarification of time allowance request process in either the drivers meeting or in the route book, we have decided that the most appropriate response is to negate the results from checkpoints 5.7, 5.8, and 5.9.
Trying to make up the lost time that some competitors experienced in that construction area would have been unsafe.
We take this change very seriously, and take full responsibility for the ensuing result changes. We want to create as fair and level playing field as possible. Upon further review of these results, we feel that the conditions were not equal and were out of the competitors control.
Our apologies if this change resulted in a negative adjustment in your finishing position. We hope that you understand our reasoning, and that you feel as we do – that this was the only fair solution to the situation.
If you have any concerns or questions, please direct them to Mike Thorn at 587-988-9364 or myanth78@gmail.com.
Thank you again for participating!
