DC Amature Race/Practice Series
This is a new DC-area slalom racing series to supplement the 2004 Spring-Summer DC Outlaw series.
Why?
Because many young guns are itching to race more often then the current DC Outlaw schedule can offer (grown-ups have families and other things...but only grown-ups understand that:)
Where?
Same place, Park and Ride, Gaithersburg, MD. Maybe different parks later on. RFK stadium is another good spot. The wind always works to one's advantage.
What?
3 formats. Longboard SL, Easy Hybrid Slalom, Fast&Technical Special Slalom. I'll set the courses and make sure everyone is happy with them. Everything is going to be easy to skate except for TechSpecialSL. Hybrid and Special Slalom course will be set side by side so that the timer could be efficiently utilized.
When?
On Saturdays, starting at 10 AM untill approximately 2 PM.
Brian Parsons was kind to offer his Trackmate timer (THANK YOU BRIAN). There will be no points in this racing series. Although I'll keep the records for those who are interested.
Full protection (elbow and knee pads, wrist guards and helmets) is a must.
Any help with running the series smoothly will be appreciated. Our regular jam practice format (with the timer) usually works pretty good. While someone skates, somebody esle puts his time down and resets the timer, while others reset the course on their way up.
I'll see you this Saturday weather permitting. Longboard SL begins at 10 AM.
PS. Special thanks to those who came out with suggestions. As to the previous title, enough is enough.
