Sorry if breaking any ST etiquette since this was also popping up on another thread (new Ironman venues), but thought dedicated thread would allow a more focused discussion. Seeing lots of chatter on FB about this today.

Looks like a pretty clear sign something is happening. With CAC status unclear from the Rev3/Challenge spilt I'd be happy to see this race continue. I was already planning on this race as CAC, had my hotel room booked. I'm a huge Delmo fanboy, think he runs great events and under WTC this race would blow up. Princeton 70.3 did well but had issues with permits/local approval... AC 70.3 would fill in a gap here. If they keep as full, it would suddenly go from a race many people never gave a chance to a must-do sellout (aka - the Chesapeakeman effect - didn't coin that term but we all understand the WTC impact / brand allure)
