US National Championships at Infineon Raceway!?
5/11/06. The Infineon Technologies Cougar Mountain Classic has been named to to host the relocated 2006 MTB National Championships. Originally scheduled for Mammoth Mountain, this event has been relocated due to the heavy snow pack in the Sierras. Please check back for further details, and our expanded and revised schedule.

West coast nationals used to be such classics (big bear, mammoth, snoqualimie, tahoe, Rainier, etc...) now we got otter, infineon, and fontana.
Why oh why could this not have been in the rockies, or someplace with this thing called TERRAIN!!!!!!!

Why not host the XC events at Infineon and the DH/4X events at Whistler...there is a Canada Cup race going on there the same weekend...just award the jersey to the top American finisher. Heck, all of the teams have to be there the whole following week for Crankworx anyway.

A US National Championship race in Canadia seems so stupid Norba just might do it.

Just abandon the NORBA series, please, you people need to stop supporting this cancer.
USopen, Crankworx, Angelfire, couple others need to just band together, create a north american series. Races that already exist and that are known to be good...get away from the mold.

from the wording, i was under the impression that the sonoma nat'l race is just counting as the national champs...the race on the 14-16 is considered nat champs.

I'm not saying it's my perferred scenerio but geez, I'll take Canada over a lame US track! Heck, Whistler is closer to a major US city than 1/2 the other places they pick to hold events it seems. A lot of the Euro countries hold their DH championships outside of their country anyway. I can't imagine the DH courses in Holland are all that gnar.
