Check out the online guide to Salem, OR for all the info on the town and surrounding areas too: Salem Official Visitor's Guide
DIVISIONS/CLASSES:
Traditional Division Format - that is racers will be bracketed/placed by their qualifying times within their self-proclaimed division - Pro, Am, Masters, Women and Junior division racers. Final results will be reported/allocated to coincide with each racer's ISSA (self-proclaimed) ranking history for point awards based on event finish results. Racers must decide on one division to race within. Women and Junior divisions are subject to attendance - and will only be run as a separate division if enough racers are present to justify. Otherwise, women and junior racers will have the option to enter the Pro, Masters or Am division. Self-proclaimed Pro division racers should chose to ride the "A" course whenever a choice is available. Tight Slalom event will offer two courses - "A" and "B". The B Tight course option will offer a lesser degree of difficulty than the A course and will in turn rank a lower result for that racer in the overall standings for the event. All racers will run the same course for the single lane Giant Slalom event. Class division and details of the lane choice option will be addressed at the riders meeting.
THREE RACE EVENTS - DETAILS:
Race Event #1 description: Hybrid Slalom. Dual lane/head-to-head/ramp start. Each person who pays an entry fee will get to race head to head, in their self-proclaimed division, and elimination matches will be determined by qualifying times. The course will be as challenging as the lower divisions can handle. Any racer who DQs twice in qualifiers will race in the lowest placing. Pro, Am, Masters, Women, Jr (17-) will race in their specific divisions (Women/Junior classes are subject to attendance). Hybrid will run on Saturday morning.
Race Event #2 description: Tight Slalom Single lane/rampstart. Racers will choose A or B (Pro or Am) course. Two runs, best time counts. Any run on course A beats any run on course B. Ramp start for all A racers. Ramp or push start for B course. Tight will run on Saturday afternoon - following the Hybrid finals.
Race Event #3 description: Giant Slalom Single lane/ramp start. All racers will run the same course. This road is a soap box derby hill. Giant slalom will be run on Sunday morning. Ramp options - standard or 10-foot high mega ramp! Following the GS, there will be a bonus speed trap event - does not count for the overall or ISSA points. Racers can enter this event independent of the three main events for a separate entry fee.

Portland International Airport (PDX) and/or Eugene Airport (EUG) Bush Park is approx. 1 hour by car (south) from PDX airport. Southwest Airlines serves PDX airport and offers two free bags -- great when you are hauling skate gear. EUG is about the same distance by car to the venue traveling north if you prefer. Southwest Airlines doesn't serve the EUG airport so baggage fees will apply.
