Re: Giant Slalom So Cal Style -- It's On!
This will be an interesting race. JPL has always been a fast hill, but we've never been able to set a course that took advantage of that, due to an insane amount of big cracks and huge potholes. This past year, the road was repaired, all cracks and potholes have been sealed. So now, the course will follow the best line down the road, instead of the only one that avoided certain death. Add to that the fact that the last time there was a race there, the fastest wheels on the market were Gumballs...

Hey guys -- Just checking in as we close in on race #1 this Sunday.
Schwag from our generous sponsors has been rolling in so we will have some nice prizes for the open class. Big props go out to these sponsors who are lending their support to this series so far:
SK8KINGS (of course!)
PPS (Thanks Chicken!)
LCB (Thanks Lynn!)
Khiro (Thanks Bob & LouAnn!)
Oust (Thanks Carl!)
Randal (Thanks Michael!)
Sk8Trip (Thanks Chris!)
Skaterbuilt (Thanks Dave!)
Silverfish (Thanks Eric & Kai!)
NCDSA (Thanks Adam!)
Concrete Wave Mag (Thanks Michael!)
Big Thanks also to friends and family who have offered to help out!
Couple of notes -- Remember this is an outlaw event and we need to keep things on the down low as much as possible. So please be respectful with the local residents in the area, people who also use the access road for cycling, walking their dog, etc., and of course any law enforecment or security people you may come in contact with. The roads are NOT closed for our use so we need to share and be cool with it. That will give us the best possible chance of pulling things off without a hitch. There have been many successful outlaw events at both venues in the recent years so if everyone cooperates, that track record should continue. Worse case -- we have a back up venue if we get shut down.
Each race in the series will have ISSA "Basic" status points tallied for Pro & Open racers.
If you are planning to come out and race, make sure you sign up on line (follow the link on the flyer) so you will receive directions to the venue via e-mail. Please bring cash to pay your entry fee on site. On race day -- I will have our office line forward to my cell so if you are lost or something send out an S.O.S. SK8KINGS Hotline -- 714-636-7308
BTW -- Weather forecast looks great so far. CHECK WEATHER
Don't forget to bring plenty of water and sunscreen too.
Sooooooo -- let the fun begin!
PS -- Lit -- is that you RS? If so, give us a call at the hotline so we can talk about your setup - o.k.?
