Event Description

It’s on again!

The second annual Collingrove Cup will be held at the Collingrove Hillclimb track, Angaston South Australia on October 29th - 30th 2011.

The Track
Although it’s only 800m long the narrow technical track will be sure to test the skill and patience of many of the countries best downhill racers over 2 days of racing.

Disciplines and Format

All disciplines will be catered for including Downhill skateboard, Classic luge, G-Bike and Streetluge. The format will be:

$100 rider rego fee (see below for more details)
100 entries only
2 man elimination rounds over 2 days
Race to qualify
$$$$$$$ CASH PRIZES$$$$$$$
Trophies, prizes and more!

Standup will have Pro division (over 18) and Junior division (under 18yrs) but please note that you can only race in one division not both for standup.

*Groms Take Note*
This year will be different than last year in the fact that we are stepping it up and trying to make the event flow quicker and give more track time to riders, so by doing this ALL disciplines will be using the full track.

IGSA RULES APPLY

Registration will open on July 6th at 7pm (SA time) and close at midnight October 16th 2011. All entry fees must be paid before this date, if not pay on the day is available but will be $150.

With over 200 skaters in Adelaide alone this event is sure to sell out fast so get in quick to secure your spot. This is a legal event on a closed road with ambos, shuttle buses, food, drinks, music and the Cre8ive Sk8 air fence will be in action too!

SA CREW TAKE NOTE! We are planing at least 1 training day at the track between now and October to give some of the younger guys and beginners a go at the track. Stay tuned for an announcement on dates for this!

See you on the hill!!!

Comment by Adrian Alderson on November 4, 2011 at 9:01: Brad,

did you use them mate? I heard a few bounced off them! One day I'll try it myself, wasn't game at Bomb that corner was too fast for old guys to stop that quickly (;-)>

Sounds like most people had a good time. I'd like to thank the guys who make these sorts of legit events possible, if you haven't organised an event like this you have no idea of the amount of time and effort (not to mention cash) that goes into it. We started organising BtB 2012 3 weeks after BtB 2011 so basically 11 months of work by a small band of volunteers. I know the Adelaide crew worked tirelessly to get this event up and running and ended up having to recruit interstaters to help run it due to a shortage of local volunteers at the track. This is always an issue at events and it makes it very difficult for the organisers.

There are heaps of guys on this forum who live in Adelaide and didn't race on the weekend, it'd be nice if in future a few of you help the guys run the event, this will give you experience when it is your turn to race or even when you come to organise your own event. The difference between putting on an Outlaw and a Legit event is a massive step and it'd be great for the sport if more people were involved and understood how it should run. We recruit friends, family, anyone we can for BtB as there is only a fairly small DH crew up here, but next year we will be trying to get some of the cruiser riders in the area involved to build the worker base and spread the load.

I guess what I am saying is: Even if you aren't racing get involved in the organising and running of local events it'll give you an insight you can't get from the outside and you'll be amazed how good you feel when everything runs like clockwork. It'll also make you much more patient when things don't go perfectly at an event you are participating in.

Cheers

Ado

ASRA Admin Comment by Bugs on November 3, 2011 at 11:05: I haven't made a decision regarding the points yet. I'm waiting to see what comes back from the organisers.

I haven't got proper results for luge and classic either - were there similar issues there?
