exactly...and how many you go to......
but i guess "it is what it is"....it's only a problem if folks put too much weight into it
We all know what races are the best run and most competative
which riders are the fastest....
...and all that

Here's a little more food for thought. Canada is awarded (1) Main and (1) Prime. Yet in 2005 they only had ONE slalom race in Canada, the Dovercourt. Does that mean the Dovercourt was awarded MAIN status? And if it WASNT given a Main status, then did another one go by the wayside? I mean, either way...
