Derby Day "Running of the Cones" Outlaw May 7

Post by Jeremy Coffman » Fri Apr 08, 2011 3:39 am

Outlaw Slalom Race!

When? First Saturday in May. That would be May 7th and that would also be the Kentucky Derby! Practice starts a 10 am and racing starts at 11:30
Where? Louisville, KY. Home of the Kentucky Derby. Cooper Crossings Dr.
What? Single lane Hybrid slalom and maybe tight if we have time. Best of three runs.

This is an outlaw race. This is an open road. Although there is nothing on this road it does have the rare but occasional driver taking a short cut. So the course is limited to only one lane. Shouldn't be a problem but worth mentioning. Be friendly and courteous, please.

The surface is nice and smooth. You start with a nice incline, then towards the end comes the elevator and you finish it off with an uphill run out.

Helmets required!

I forgot to mention that there is no entry fee for this race.
I hope to have some sort of novelty trophies for the winners.
Being the Kentucky Derby that day, lodging may be near impossible to get or way expensive. Just a warning on that.
If you have any questions about the race just shoot me an e-mail or pm.

We are a week away and the rain has finally stopped.
Come on out and run some cones with us on Derby Day.
