What: Second annual night time outlaw slalom race.
When: Saturday August 23rd at sundown.
Where: The Fortress Slalom Spot, Quebec City.
Fee: about $10, to pay for the generator rent and stuff.

We will be running 2 single lane courses.
One hybrid and one tight.
Two (maybe three, if time allows) timed runs per course.
Fastest time wins in each course.
The more racers, the lower the entry fee.
If you can, bring extension cords and lights.

We have about 20 racers registered up to now from Quebec, Montreal, and Vermont.

Congrats to all the racers! Thanks to all who came from Quebec, Montreal, Ottawa, and Vermont. We had every kind of talent from first timers to seasoned Pros. Big big thanks to everybody who helped! I know it was a long night but it was an extraordinay experience, I know I liked it a lot! How many skaters can say they finished a race at 5am and then went to McDonalds for breakfast? Well, now there's a few of us. They did not want to serve us burgers! We were either too late or too early... :D

Pics and vid coming as soon as they are ready. There was 6 video cameras recording everything from different vantage points, so Boris's vid should be pretty cool!
