the 2002 California Championship gravity racing series,
with races at West LA College for skateboard, inline skate,
classic luge (buttboard), street luge (both with and without pegs/booms),
and gravity bikes. All races will count
towards the IGSA world rankings, including slalom this
year! There will be a variety of awards and prizes at each race, and
at the end of the series there will be special series
awards for the top point-getters.

Each of the dates will have racing for several sports and
practice available at a reduced price for the sports not
competing on that date. The events will take place rain
or shine, but if it rains the schedules may change (for
example a tight slalom might be postponed for rain, but
luge would race in the rain).

Typical Schedule (note that qualifying and race times may vary):
9:00 Setup
10:00 Registration and practice starts
11:00 Downhill qualifying (luge, inline, bike; when applicable)
12:00 Start of races
3:30 Awards ceremony
4:00 End of permit time

The series dates are:
May 5 WLAC IGSA/WWSC DH

Entry fees for club members are $25 for slalom and giant slalom
competitors, $35 for downhill racers (luge, buttboard, downhill skate),
and practice only is $10 for those not racing (free for paid racers).
Joining Westwood
Ski and Sports Club as a full member is encouraged, and entitles
you to participate in ski and snowboard races and trips, water ski
trips, parties, skating practices, equipment discounts, and more.
Please bring your checkbook to become a full member ($35/year).
Day memberships are available for $5/day, and are required for all
riders who are not full members (i.e.: non-member fees are $30, $40,
and $15). Juniors (under 18) must be accompanied by a parent or
guardian, and will be charged only a practice fee even if they race.
Spectators are free. Also, the first few who come early to help with
the street cleaning and setup in the morning (and then teardown and
cleanup at the end) will receive a free race entry!

Manufacturers and shop owners, it's not too late to supply prizes
for these races! You can even just show up with something to
add to the prize pool, and bring your banner to hang. We'll be
sure to mention you in upcoming announcements. Thanks to
Turner Downhill for kicking things off with sets of their new Cambria
skateboard wheels, and to Kryptonics and Hyper for inline
wheel prizes and Bones Bearings for their long time support!

Protective gear: for slalom and giant slalom helmets, pads
(elbow and knee), and hand protection (gloves and/or wrist
guards) are required, and hip pads are recommended. Please,
no short shorts or tank tops. For street luge, buttboard, downhill
skating, and gravity bikes, IGSA equipment rules will be used (helmets,
leathers, and leather gloves are required). We're building an
equipment pool to loan to new riders and people who forget things,
please donate your old gear, it may save someone a long trip home!

See you there!

3rd Place Finisher: Steve Evans
Overall Results: The sixth slalom of the 2002 California Championship series
(and ninth date of the 10 date series) at West LA College
featured a smooth, fast courses for tight slalom and giant
slalom, and clear, cool weather. Richy and Scott once again
displayed winning form, with Brent Kosick taking a win, too.
Thanks go to Gullwing for supplying trucks to the prize pool,
and to Henry for his school T shirt all the way from Connecticut
(and to all the racers for being patient when the timer got flaky).
At the end of a day of fast racing, congratulations went around
and we all started to think of the December finale.
