[2006] 2 races in a row: Québec-Montréal, Aug 26 + sept 2-3

Post by Pierre Gravel » Mon Jul 17, 2006 3:18 pm

August 26 in Québec city, The Naphte Slalom Race and Slide contest.
I don't have all the details yet but it's supposed to be big with cash prizes.
There may be some big names that are coming for next week's topchallenge race in Montréal.

http://www.naphte.com (no info about this yet on their site)

Sept 2-3 in Montréal, Top Challenge 5th edition, Slalom race with 1500.00$ in Prizes
Plus there is the very fast speedboard race, luge and a slide contest. It's a big event with huge crowds, beer gardens and shows and good racers party.
The slalom race is 80.00$ (can) to enter.

Expect a fast dual hybrid on a good surface, with start ramps.

Maybe you can fly to Montréal and come with one of us to Québec, it's only a 2 hour drive.
