The Antrim Jam skateboard races are scheduled for Saturday, June 26th, with a rain date of Sunday June 27th. Registration is from 9:30AM - 10AM, racer's meeting at 10:15, GS practice at 10:30. This is an "outlaw" race so there is a bust factor (2 out of 10) - for that reason, you must contact us at info@cloudtenweb.com for more info and directions to the event venue. Disciplines will be Giant Slalom, Slalom, and a new "Relay" race format from the fertile mind of NESRA's Dave Kirkpatrick. We will also have a kid's slalom race in-between the GS and Slalom, timed by stopwatch.
All races will be single-lane, electronically timed, with each racer getting two runs per discipline. Our timing system was designed and programmed by a Doctor and a NASA Space Shuttle Astronaut...really! It records times down to thousandths of a second. The GS course is 700 feet long and Slalom about 550 feet long. The GS course will have about 30 cones, the Slalom about 40 cones, and the Relay will use both the main Slalom and kid's courses...bet you are curious about the relay now! All races (except for the kid's race) will use the Antrim Can-Am 3-foot high start ramp. The race road is fairly recently paved, follows a gentle right curve into a straightaway, and is very lightly traveled. Top speeds in the GS are expected to be about 25mph, and about 20mph for the Slalom and Relay. There is an uphill runout - no foot braking required. A "B-class" push-start (GS and Slalom ONLY) will be available for those who find the ramp and full-length hill too daunting, or you can push-start from the top (in A-class) if you choose. Slalom and GS Classes will be Open A and B, with trophies for the top three places in each class. All racers will be required to sign a release form, and those under 18 must also have a parent or guardian sign.
We will be taking $5 donations at the Antrim race to benefit the Warren family.
Stay tuned for more exciting NESRA news about this race! We've got some surprises up our sleeves.
