[NCNCA] San Francisco Twilight Criterium

[Mack Chew]

Dear NCNCA race community,

I am writing to inform you that we at Project Sport, Inc., in association
with Arete' Racing, have unfortunately been forced to postpone the San
Francisco Twilight Criterium, currently scheduled for July 28th, until
2008.  First, we apologise for not revealing more information on this event,
but our intention was, and still is, to have every detail worked out before
press release.  We have been working on this project since the end of 2005,
and are as disappointed as perhaps you all are, that we are unable to
execute the event for this year.  Through the grapevine, we have heard there
has been a buzz about this race, and we consider that a compliment.  We
thank you for your interest, and willingness to make this event a possible
stop on your calendar, even before knowing all the details.

As you may know, it is no easy task creating an event on the streets of San
Francisco, especially in a vibrant neighborhood setting.  That said, we
managed to acquire the permit with overwhelming support from neighborhood
and city officials.  Our reason for postponement is not because of the lack
of permit or business owners' or residents' approval.  It is simply
sponsorship.  We have a very ambitious vision for this event.  It is our
goal to re-create the atmosphere and excitement that exists in
current twilight criteriums around the country, and bring this to the local
Northern California race community.  This requires a hefty title sponsor
which we were unable to secure for various reasons.  As a result, we must
now postpone as our deadline to secure police for the event as well as
deadlines for other expenses are upon us, and payment is just not possible
without our lead sponsor.

So thank you again for your patience with us.  We, without a doubt, will
bring the San Francisco Twilight Criterium to life in 2008.  Please stay
tuned.  We thank you in advance for your support, and will keep you informed
in the coming months on the progress of the event.

Cheers,
