Is this event still even running? I have been playing the Ace Race here for the past 3 years and have loved the event, but it seems like nothing has really been said about it. I am not seeing anything posted about it, who will be sponsoring it, reminders to register, etc. All of those have happened in years prior and the many sponsorships have lead to making the event that much more enticing and enjoyable. There are many other Ace Races and even another huge MVP event the same day. I just need to know if this event is happening in case I need to plan for another Ace Race. Hate to see this one die.

Joe, I am not involved in the other situation and, frankly, do not know the details of those comments on this page, but myself and a group of 15-20 friends have played the last 3 years and planned on playing the Ira Ace Race; we really want to see it successful like it was growing toward a few years ago. Unfortunately, we have been hesitant to sign up because it seems like this event is not being run efficiently or with great enthusiasm. Registration closes next week and 3 participants, zero posts or advertising or sponsorship updates since one post in mid July, etc. I have messaged you privately, the event page, and the Facebook page twice asking if you would like some help setting up baskets, making signs for advertising at the course to drum up support, or if you could use extra Sponsorship help since we have connections at a couple of companies and breweries willing to help. So far I've gotten zero responses.
What do we need to do to rebuild this event? Are you optimistic that this event still runs? Realistically there are 4 days to turn it around. Right now the only interactions with any of the DG community is negative with these pages- which is the exact opposite of what an Ace Race should be. If another Ace Race happens nearby because there is nothing positive or active taking place to gain support with Ira, it only kills the Ira event and I'd hate to see that.
