Our policy was to cancel the race if no one volunteered. Peer pressure did the rest for those who hadn't volunteered. To date, I don't think we ever had to cancel a race due to lack of Race Committee. Pretty much everyone signs up for a race at the beginning of the year and if there are spots u

What do you mean by "the RC gets a bullet" ? I mean, I get it that there is supposed to be a gun culture in certain places, but I am guessing you are using the word as a scoring term that I am not familiar with. Steve Thomas C&C27 MKIII Port Stanley, ON Kevin Driscoll via CnC-List wrote:
