The Kansas City '07 Nationals organizers don't have a women's B race on
their schedule whereas they have three men's B races offered. I found this a
bit inequitable. I sent the following email to the promoters:

The published schedule indicates that you won?t be offering a race for women
who don?t qualify for the age group (juniors, masters) or elite races. I
understand that the primary focus of Nationals is to crown national
champions and inclusion of non-championship races is at the discretion of
the promoters. However, you are sending a bad message when you offer three
non-championship races for the men (regardless of how lucrative those races
may be) and not a single one for the women. This is especially egregious
given that you have extended the event schedule by a day.

Please reconsider and offer the women a non-championship race too.

I got a response from one of the promoters:

Thanks for your thoughts and opinions. We will take all things into
consideration. The end result is that each promoter determines all
Non-Championship Categories. We will look into this as a committee at our
next meeting.

I'd encourage you to write them with your concerns as well. Here's the email
address: Info@kccrossnationals.com. Remember to be courteous in your
correspondence.
