Contest Info: |
THE COURSES: As in previous years, they're gonna be "slalom," with courses varying from 40 to 77 cones. Push start only.
FRIDAY, MAY 22, we plan an afternoon/evening outlaw session at "Spot 2," a slightly steeper hill at the other end of the park. Single lane, no timer, just for fun.
SATURDAY, MAY 23, we plan a single-lane jam at "Spot 1," the same hill as previous years. Course will be a hybrid, with spacing anywhere from 6 feet to 20 feet, emphasizing speed and fun--makeable for newbies, challenging for experts to go fast on. Take as many runs as you want; fastest time wins.
SUNDAY, MAY 24, we plan a dual-lane 77-cone race (in honor of the race's seventh year). Cones will be set straight (no offsets) but will follow the natural curves of the road, which bends right, then left. Cone spacing will be somewhere around 7 feet, perhaps with up to seven "mystery" cone spacings.
RACE LOCATION: Tower Grove Park in south St. Louis. Friday's fun session will be on a slightly steeper hill with a mild left-hand bend at the top. Saturday and Sunday's races will be on the same hill as in past years, an S-shaped street with a mellow slope but plenty of speed.
SURFACE: EXCELLENT asphalt, good runout at the bottom--little or no footbraking required. The streets are very slightly crowned and not particularly steep, but you won't be hurtin' for speed.
1st place: At least $100.00 2nd place: At least $50.00 3rd place: At least $25.00
Custom trophies of some sort to top 3 finishers. Swag from various companies in the works. Stay tuned... |

I get by with a little help from my friends |
Faster than a speeding bullet, more powerful than a locomotive, able to leap tall buildings in a single bound. |
