This is a kickoff slalom race 1 week ahead of the start of the Skate Across America for Lowe Syndrome (Aug 2 in Newport Oregon). Location is 7 miles North of Portland Oregon -- in Vancouver Washington.
Dual Slalom. Not very steep. Hybrid. "Ladder" finals rounds instead of eliminations rounds (all skaters continue to race in the final rounds, right to the end).
Entry fee is a donation to the Skate Across America for Lowe Syndrome. $20 is a suggested starting point.
Additional "betting" of donations is encouraged. For example: "I will donate another $20 if Michael Dong can beat an 18 second run".
Originally advertised location was WSU (Washington State University) which is 2 miles east of the park and ride. The park and ride has shade, wider lanes, and is public property.

| Overall Results: |
We had a wonderful day of racing on July 27.
We ran a 40-cone slalom. The big winner for the day is the Lowe Syndrome Foundation, which will receive a $525 donation thanks to the generosity of the racers.
We ran a ladder system instead of the normal elimination brackets. This allowed all racers to get in 8 runs (2 qualifying runs, 6 final runs).
Consistency and conservative racing was the winning combination. The course threw DQ's at a number of racers. The fastest racers did not always finish the course.
In the end the placings were:

Michael Dong 1 14.131
