It looks better than last year all ready!!!!

so who is going to host the majority of the events this year. i've heard that ray is not going to be doing it any more? any word on this???

Yes Ray is retired. Sad news to dbdrag Canada as he will be missed in this sport. He will be hosting some single point shows at his stores but thats all. James is a certified judge, so he can do the multi`s out west.

And East is screwed again :(

Ya, but you guys live so close to the U.S border you can always get Sam to judge. :) So not so screwed.

does this mean that u might have to travel to bc to get your points? :D

im sure that someone in alberta will hold shows still. its just a cycle. anyone know if db drag event are still happening with visions? or if the dtp show will have another triple again this year. megahz and i had a great time driving to that show and then to the willams lake show the day after. it was great to see the riprocks tank as always.

cant wait to see what they have this year.

Nah we just need to travel to the US

Meh, dbdrag is kinda dying in the east.. less and less support every year.. not many shops want to pay lots of $$ to bring a judge from the US in to host a show with a low turnout.. I guess thats the way the cookie crumbles..
