Leg control. Stiff bushings are a crutch for people that can’t skate. (Accounting for weight ofc)

He’s done some specific tuning to that board to help.
otherwise, IMO you can’t go those speeds on a stock setup.

Yeah I didn’t think so, I heard they got unstable at like 28-30

You feel like sharing what those mods are? My board gets unstable right at 36mph no matter what I do

Thanks! Got 3rd overall, I destroyed a pinion and so I had to swap from 18 to 20t’s on the track… I was in my head during the main event since I didn’t trust my no loctite pinions, made some dumb mistakes cuz of it.

Fess did a sweet job, held 1st very well. Alex and I bumped tires :rofl:

Also with the 20t I think you lost some drive, off the corners.

Yeah the board rode totally differently. The braking worsened and the starting torque dropped off a noticeable amount

How do you do the scoring ? Are the rules in writing? Do you consider this information proprietary? Would you share it with me to use on the East Coast?

Here is the layout from 2019.
Feel free to use what suits.
We adjusted the Novice points so if someone bumps to sportsman they can still be in the points race by taking their points with them.

Esk8 Socal Outlaw Series
This is a 5 race series with one throw out race. Highest points wins Champion for the respective division. Tracks will be tuned for a 25mph top speed “Short Track”
Divisions :
Pro Urethane : any urethane wheel, any make/model board (no rubber)
Pro Rubber : any rubber construct wheel, any make/model board
Purse $ divided 60/40 - rubber/urethane
Race Format
Qualifying :
each competitor will have a rolling start - green, white, checkered clocked, fastest of two laps is your qualifying time.
Heat races :
3 laps
groups of 4 sorted by qualifying times, begining with fast time on the pole position and sorted back from qualifying times into two rows
Pole position sets a slow rolling pace, race is started when the green flag drops. (a rolling start)
Main Events :
4 laps
groups of 6 determined by heat race finish position, all heat race ties broken by qualifying times. mains will be sorted A, B, C. The C main will start first and the top two will transfer to the B. Top two from the B will transfer to the A.
Points :
awarded from main events only : 1=100pts, 2=90pts, 3=85pts, 4=80pts 5=79pts, 6=78pts,
7=77pts and on down. In order to recieve points you must attempt to start your main event.
Max 25 entries, first come first served. Sign-in from 7:30am to 8:30am. If you are not in line by 8 am, you are a spectator. $20 entry and waiver signature, all monies go to the podium. Full face helmet required - no exceptions.

Paperwork.

This is for Main event Line-up.

Heat 1,2,3… Finish spots are sorted be best qualifying time. For instance all first place finishers in all the heats have an opportunity for the pole spot in the main event but only the best qualifying time that finishes first in their heat will get the pole. Second quick time would be starting outside Pole third quick time would be starting inside second row but they’re all first place finishers in their heats. Second place finishers sorts the same way by the top time getting the second row outside the next best time getting the third row inside and so on.

What’s this?

We do a 20.00 entry fee and a pay out to the podium.
The 60/40 would have been the thane/pnumatic split of the pot. Not much interest in a thane class here, but someday.
