Race equipment in the States

Does anyone have the address of suppliers of race equipment in the US, particularly interested in someone who can supply tow ropes.

Ideally it would be good for one in or around the Florida area but its not essential.

Checked out Skirace.net but the majority of these suppliers seem to be in Aussie.

Possibly heading over there soon and wouldn't mind picking up some reasonably priced stuff while I have the chance

Cheers

It's been many years since the east coast (and Canada) went ski racing. There's Bob Maher of Maherajah skis but he's in California and I don't even think the Yanks use his bindings. You could try checking with the NWSRA for any other suppliers.

Cheers Mate

Looks like I will have to go down this line, the US side of things seems very poor.
