Jeff, usually it is around 10-15 ft. I like to have enough room to get about 3 quick pushes to the first cone.
Try practicing going into cones set straight about 6ft on center. If you can make that then you will have no prblem on Saturday.
The course will be slightly more difficult than what you were riding on Sunday. Except the bottom section will be faster.

It really is like a curse. The weather forecast for this weekend had been looking really good, but as soon as Brian noticed and mentioned it (I'll bet Brian didn't knock on wood), it was bound to change. Then, when I realized Brian had cancelled the race, I knew we'd get some kind of freak break in the weather that could've been a race. Oh well... at least the drought is over.

Geezer, if you make it there tomm(sat), give me a call, I may be doing a birthday party with lil one now that theres a sun practice anyways, but may be able to make it tomm for a bit mid day.
Nite all, Jeff

I already raced in the rain a couple of weeks ago in NYC and it was enough for me for the year.
WHAT! NOT TIED DOWN SUNDAY? COME RACE IN THE DRY WEATHER @ THE G-P&R @ 1PM.
Brian will be there with his timer. No points, round-robin if possible. We will decide Sunday morning if we think the pavement will be dry enough to make it possible.

The rain gods must be angry.
I vote for next Saturday for a re-scheduled outlaw race since it appears that the weather will be more favorable then.
It will also give my leg a rest and a little time to heal since I hurt it the other day riding with my son Aaron. I still swear someone shot me in the calf muscle with some type of rubber or wooden bullet !!! I have been hobbling around but its getting better.
Let us know any Banked Slalom at Van's. We might make the trip for that., if not next weekend for an Outlaw will be cool.

I vote for next Saturday, also. I can cancel my reservations (without a penalty) for this weekend up until 6:00 tonight.
I'm hoping that we can add/re-schedule a few more DC outlaw events this summer.
Too bad we can't find a warehouse for some dry, flat slalom when it rains(or snows). Smooth concrete, ramps, heat in the winter........

weather.com had 80% on Saturday and 30% on Sunday. How can this happen. For the last two months only 1 dry weekend.
Kevin if we push the race to Sunday or next weekend does that screw up your hotel reservations?
I am afraid to move the race to Sunday since even if it stops raining by Sunday morning it may take several hours for the lot to dry.
Racing a 10-15 cone course in a parking garage sounds about as much fun as surfing in my bath tub.
If LBK was up to it and could bring the quick setup timer we could all meet up at Vans and do an outlaw banked slalom race or a modified park slalom.
I am open to any suggestions.

If Noah can't make the race on sat then I may have a marathon driving weekend ahead of me (NYC to DC on sat...NYC to Syracuse on sun....Syracuse to NYC via Albany, NY on Monday...I wish I had a GTI car...blah)...anyway...there is a 75% chance I will be down in DC on sat regardles of Noah's plans...
I know it's been posted but Brian P can you post the timeline for the various events. As I remember the slalom slalom events arein the afternoon, 2pm'ish....
I miss racing all you guys! I gotta make SOME kinda effort to defend my DC summer outlaw series title from Vlad/Ohm/Noah/Kimball/WesE/Brian P/etc......
