Ok gang, it's happening!
I have applied for a permit at Croom and I am going to host a 100 mile Race in Croom, on January 16, 2010. I am working with Croom on the course, my preference is 8 loops on the 12.5 mile yellow trail, but I am open for suggestions should they not accept that route. Croom Zoom 100, or the Croom-a-Fulluna, or the Florida 100, I'll probably let you guys vote on it (there will be either a 100K or 50M option as well).
The first year, I am sure, will be relatively small, but I'd like to grow the race in the next few years. I have freed up my schedule some to work on this project, and the race already has its first two entrants! 1st Frank Sierra has made a significant contribution to the race and is up for the challenge. 2nd entrant is Pete Pfannerstill. Of course I don't even know the course or how much I'm going to have to charge, but hey, that's all technical BS that will work itself out!
Obviously, I will need all of your advice, help and or entries to get this sucker off of the ground. I'll get back at you soon with more details, but marky mark your calendar because it's on!

Quotable
"You know what I call the guy who's DFL? A finisher!" Overhead at the back of the pack at Western States in 2009. It meant a lot more to me at the end than it did at mile 3 when I heard it.
"Hey were you DFL at Western States? So was I!" Some dude named Steve that I met at Umstead. He was DFL in 2006, I was DFL in 09.
Becky talking about the need for training partners, "It takes a village to run a 100-miler." June's reply, "Yeah, a village Idiot!" Priceless June Bug, priceless!
“We are not in a hurry anymore.” Roger to his crew as he entered Camp 10 Bear for the first time in the Vermont 100, Ouch! Darn evil doctors!
"Road Marathons Suck!" Words of wisdom from Professor ACG. Listen to him, he knows of what he speaks!
"It's slippery." From the dude lying on his back at the Alafia Trail 1/2, regarding the trail condition of the muddy downhill I was about to run. Thanks, now could you roll to the side.
"There is no Try, either Do or Do Not Do." Yoda. Ok, little man, that sounds like you have a Do-Do philosophy. There is no try may work for keeping the Dark Force at bay and saving an empire, but oh-great-wrinkled-one, we're talking about running 100 Miles. Now drop and give me 20, Mr. Jed-Eye!
To me, From an aid station volunteer at Ancient Oaks 100-mile trail run, "The difference is, You could do what I'm doing, I could never do what you are doing!"

Sylvester

I like that idea, I added it to the poll.
Now, all I need from you is a race ap!
"The Corrupt Florida Legislature, Screw My State, Overbuild, Get-in-Bed-With-Insurers-and-Utilities-to-Dick-Over-Residents, Underfund-Education, Steal-From-Citizens 100"
Too long? Or did I leave something out?
Will there be belt buckles? There gotta be belt buckles.
I like "Croom Zoom." Maybe because we own Mazda's...ZoomZoom!
Or maybe it's because: All I wanna do is zooma zoom zoom zoom and a boom boom...
Chase: Are you coming down for it (if the RD has buckles)?
There will be buckles!
I'm in! Need a pacer / crew for Western States?
Oh MY GOD! I would love a Crew/Pacer for Western States! And I WILL NOT let the altitude get me. I'll be slow, but I'll keep going!!!!
Oh yeah, and what did Dr. Frank "contribute," free dental service to all of those runners who fall in the middle of the night and break their teeth???
Mazdas and Pacers? Shoot, if you can drive, I'm in!
We need an MC! You up for it hammer?
If I promise to run shirtless can I get a comped entry? I don't want to have to bandit AND win your "race".
-Dean Karnazes
Dean, heck yes, if you come and run with no shirt I will comp you. After all, we all know that you are "all that and a bag of healthy chips!"
Eight loops equals five additional opportunities to get lost!!!
I am so in...
