Re: New to slalom, quick set up info
that's a great setup!
perfect for beginner through intermediate and even past that
Put the Tracker in the back and wedge it with the thin part towards the front. Bennett goes in the front with same kind of wedging.

Re: Ideas, after Stuttgart, for future races
I think that there might be a school of thought that running the Pros later in the day keeps the crowd. Once the Pros are done, spectators will hang around for a little while and then they’ll leave as the action isn’t as high. But given the fact that we attract dozens of spectators to events, it rea...

Re: POST ONLY REPLIES, don't use New Topic
The organizers were approached well in advance. I personally asked them what kind of status they wanted.
They told me that the race was for fun, not for points.
The results would be nice to know, but that was not the spirit of the event.

Re: Course Poachers!
I agree that pros should be run early, but maybe not first. First of all, the first few races may have timer issues - they should be sorted out with ams. Second of all, spectators may be inclined to leave after the pros. I think maybe juniors first - there aren't many of them, and they're "cute", or...

Can't disagree with Steve and Donald's logic. There just aren't enough "Pros" or people who wanna call themselves Pros anymore to warrant a seperate division.
