ASRA Admin Comment by bernie on February 22, 2012 at 21:30: Oh, and wear your best ASRA tshirt or hat.

ASRA Admin Comment by bernie on February 22, 2012 at 17:51: They need our help to run the event, and we can skate also!

We just have to manage our time, and job share a bit.

We will need course setters (to do it quickly), starter, finish line judge, cone picker uperer's, run-out area marshall, results scribe, and a starting price bookie.

The unknown is how many want to race, and what works best, timed or H2H.

Do they want us to run/organise the skate part or just set a course

or do wwe just wait and see on the day.

1st race 11:30 for 45minutes
2nd race 1:30 for 45minutes

Untimed, unqualified head to head simple elimination (crowd pleaser) format.

If time/numbers permit will slot in repecharge round

(might get another race depending on carts )

we are invited to race also.
Gold coin donation!

Please register interest at www.simplyskateboarding.com.au so we know who will be racing.
There is a direct train service, and if parking is tight, there is a pedestrian sub-way under Burwood Hwy.

Meet at the carpark next to the train line.
