Planned divisions will be A and B Open, Jr. Boys and Girls (17 and under), Kids Boys and Girls (12 and under), Legends (50 and over), Women Novices, and Women Open. C Open will be run, time permitting. Kids and Novice women will race on a modified short course ($15 entry fee). Entering two divisions, add $15.
Prize money will be awarded to the top Men and Women
Saturday will be a dual lane GS and Sunday will be a dual lane tight, in classic La Costa Boys fashion. The road is straight, so it will be good for spectators. The runout is long and flat. Footbraking should not be a problem.
Friday at noon will be an outlaw GS at the Poway Pumpstation. We will run a short course for anybody who wants to compete "C" for two runs, then run the full course for those who like speeds of 30+mph.
You can race anything you want as long as it is made from skateboard products, no matter how modified. News on "special boards" will be forthcoming.
The race is sanctioned by the American Slalom Skateboard Association.
This is a Main Event.

Here is a picture looking up the course. What you can't see is 1/4 mile of runout behind the photographer. Surface is smooth but slick, with more aggregate than asphalt.
