word has it

That NACCC's this year will be active messengers only for the main race. The side events are open to everyone, but the simulation race is rumored to be an open alleycat ( no blocked streets ) A bit different from last years closed course race. The idea behind it is to limit the number of participants and creating a safer race environment. This is still just rumor as nothing has been posted to the main site, and hasn't changed my mind in making the trip to Boston next week. If it turns out to be true, I suppose we'll do our best to represent the midwest in the side events !
