Org: CSA (1772 Posts) Topic Post More Blabbing about the Seattle Combo Plate On 8/17/2006 Pauliblabowog wrote in from United States  (64.5.nnn.nnn) Hey, Congrats to Jackman taking 1st with the broken elbow! Congrats to Corey, I knew sooner or later you'd get ahead of me. Congrats to Hughes, That was a workout! It was great seeing everyone I already know and great meeting everyone new to our slalom scene. As far as newbies go, if you guys could handle that awkward red course for your first race, you're doing well. Those were some great challenging courses, I really REALLY like that big offset turn from the beginning section into the right-hand red lane. I think the white course (maybe the red) had one of those really diabolical John Stryker-esque neg-offset gimmie cones that you don't see coming up since it's hidden and not obvious and then you go through it and it's so subtle it makes you second guess yourself "Hey, did I just DQ, what was that all about?". I totally dug that lane change format and the courses. Pat - It was fun riding with you both ways, good idea. James's run on the red scooter was the Bomb! Adios-P     Rate post 244843 !

The course is marked and ready to go. Already sent one guy to the ER. FAST! The SGS starts at 8:00, so show up early! $5 entry, winner take all! I'm sure whoever is able will ride both races. Lots of new interest forming...     Rate post 244815 !

Best-Of Ncdsa (0)   Informative (0)   Abuse(0)   Flag Moderators (0) Combo plate format On 8/14/2006 Pat Chewning wrote in from United States  (15.252.nnn.nnn) The combo plate featured the following format: A single-lane course was set up with a set of orange (common) cones right after the single start switch. Then the course split into the White (left) course and the Red (right) course. The white and red courses were deliberately different (#of cones, spacing, offsets, everything). The course then joined back together for a final set of common orange cones and the single finish line. So there were two ways through the course (red branch or white branch). Each racer ran one at a time and alternated runs through each branch. At the end of the day you had 4 RED runs and 4 WHITE runs. Take the best RED run and add it to the best WHITE run for the final time. A real fun format, even if a few people forgot and went down the wrong branch -- oops! The course was pre-set and John ("I'll kick your ass") Stryker kept the race moving right along. Next year's suggestion: Run the combo with a spreadsheet-based scoring system so the final results can be tablulated more quickly. Other than that, the race went VERY smoothly. -- Pat     Rate post 244591 !

You all have fun at the combo plate, I wish it wasn't the same weekend as the Trifecta down here. I am hearing rumors of Hosoi being in town as well as others and am looking forward to just lurking and taking some pictures and getting some runs in. Anything organized coming up after this weekend?     Rate post 244163 ! Best-Of Ncdsa (0)   Informative (0)   Abuse(0)   Flag Moderators (0)
