Well, the race organizers for the Tampa Classic Invitational are on the ball, with the 2009 event details already announced. The racing will take place April 9th to the 12th- see TAMPA CLASSIC 2009 for more.
dopey358 wrote some very nice words about the 2008 edition, saying ‘Besides, do you really choose the meets you go to based on the awards. Personally, if my team goes to a meet, has little to no competition, walks away with every race and wins GIANT trophies and their entry fees back I feel we have wasted our time. If we spend the time and money to go to a meet in March it has to offer the competition necessary to show us if we are on track for Nationals. Nobody but NOBODY can say that wasn’t the case in Tampa. There were VERY few events where you just had to show up to get an award. EVERY open, even the Juvenile opens were absolute battles. You couldn’t ask for anything more. I’ll bet there were National Champions in almost every division contested and certainly every open. Even the Novice events were stacked with good skaters‘.
