While surfing the Florida trials website I realized that the fun in the sun will be part of the south eastern regional series. As I recall from last year one was held by florida, one by stra and one by trials inc? I can't find any info about if this is the same for this year. Does any body have any details? Thanks in advance. --Biff

After a bit of a chat with kjax, I've created this forum. It's basically identical to the one that exists in the UK Trials area and does what it says on the tin. It can be used for calendars, event previews, after-event thoughts etc. I've also created one for Canada.

Did I miss something? I haven't seen a place in Trials Central for posting US events and results. Just wondering if there is enough interest to create a separate calender or topic for US based clubs and organizations to post events and results?
