The second annual Lotus Fall Classic Sprint Races will be held on Saturday, October 7th, 2006. Here's your chance to try it out. Can you make an outrigger turn on a dime? Gather your team and give it a try!
UPDATE:
Due to a large number of registrations we are now:
1) Limiting race registration to 30 teams, only 3 spots left - REGISTER NOW!
2) Place will be determined by cumulative time, each team will have 2 heats.
Race Course:
Course length will be a minimum of 500 meters and a maximum of 1000 meters. Lanes are 250 meters long and approximately 25 meters wide. There will be a coloured turn flag at the end of each lane. Please check our website at www.lotussports.com prior to the race if your team wishes to confirm the course length. Turns are to be made counter-clockwise with ama side nearest to turn flag. A team will be disqualified from a heat if the canoe hits the turn flag hard enough to make it drop into the water.
