If you are coming from the hotel take the 35 south and then fallow the same directions.
The hill is a constant slope all the way down. The street is pretty deserted. Just us and the Chief of Police’s there.
As stated on the contest Calendar this will be a single lane unlimited push start GS style course. The race will run jam style which means that all racers will get at least two runs, and then as many runs as they can get before the sun sets. Fastest time gets the Texas Cup. All Racers need to check in. Check in starts at 9:30:AM, if you have not paid you entry fee yet please pay it then it is 45$ per racer. Practice starts at 10: AM till 11:30 Racers meeting at 11:30 racing at noon. After the race we will have a party at the Texas Outlaw Austin Headquarters here is the direction from Sam Marco
Sunday will be dual lane Hybrid slalom with start ramps and timer with false start detection. Here are directions from the Hotel.

http://www.emosaustin.com/ and if that is not enough here are some suggestions fro Bosco the head of the Austin Chapter of the Outlaws.
If you're looking for stuff to do in Austin outside of race time, here's a list of recommends from me. I've lived in Austin since 1989 and these are things that I have encountered in my travels around town:
Restaurants. There are a lot. I would recommend the following for a very unique Austin Experience:
Threadgill's, Magnolia Cafe, Kerbey Lane, The Omeletree, Mongolian BBQ, Loco Maria's Taco Express, Tamale House, Castle Hill, Carmelo's, Maudie's Tex Mex Cafe, Suzi's China Kitchen, Saigon, The Salt Lick, Rudy's, Sam's BBQ, El Azteca. Amy's Ice Cream, Waterloo Ice House, Thundercloud Subs,
Coffee Houses: Ruta Maya, Flipnotics, Bouldin Creek Coffee, Little City, Spiderhouse( It's good people watching place with beer, wine and food as well), Texpresso
Skate Shops/Parks: Tekgnar, Skatepark Of Austin (Skate the 69 Bowl, you'll be sorry if you miss it.) Mabel Davis Park: Public Concrete and Free. Great bowl. There is a Fast Forward in the mall by my house if you have an emergency skate need.
Nightlife: There are a million bars in Austin. 90% of them have live bands at least 4 nights a week. I could make a list but it would take forever. Go to
www.austinchronicle.com for a good overview of what's available in Austin. It's updated every Thursday. On Friday night there is a Poison 13 reunion at Emo's that is a benefit for a local business that was destroyed by fire. Poison 13 is one of Austin greatest punk bands ever. They did one previous reunion in like 1995 for the reissue of their complete recorded works on Sub Pop records. Other places to hang would include: The Longbranch, The Jackalope, Stubbs, Jovita's, The Broken Spoke. In general go to the Warehouse District on 4th St for hipster, beautiful people, trendy flavor and the Red River district on Red River for punk/alt/indy flavor. There is of course 6th St. It'll be busy packed with people and lots of bars and college kids hanging out.
Well I think that all I have for you. If you have any questions or need anything please don’t hesitate to contact us.
