The gators is a popular race with lots of history. Its also the first race of the year on the east coast so lots of the div 1 and 3 racers that have cabin fever head south to run some races down here. You pretty much have to have a minimum of 5 grade points to get in that race with the short quota that we have to deal with these days. It went from 30 to full in a little over 36 hours. the points race the weekend before does make it more interesting to people that travel a long way.
