Official Race
Richland, WA, USA
August 1st and 2nd, 2009
9am to 2pm
My name is Noah, I organized a sweet outlaw last year in
Richland, WA. This year I'm organizing it as an official
event. Sorry for the late notice, but I hope some of you
make it out for the race. GOOGLE says its 5hrs and
36minutes from Vancouver.
RACE COURSE VIDEO:
I apologize ahead of time for the lack of a helmet on one
of the riders in this video...

The race starts on Summit Dr. There is a steep section
coming into a 90 degree left. The course then has a
mellow slope and minor bends. Next there is a 90 degree
right and the hill drops down again into a long
straightaway. This straightaway tops out at over 65 km/h
and will be nice and drafty. The last corner is a 90 degree
right with the finish line directly after it. There are a
couple blocks of flat before the righty though so you
won't be taking at 65km/h or needing to footbrake. If the
last right isn't exciting enough, we will remove it and put
the finish line just after the straightaway.
Race Registration and Website will be up in the next day
or so. Entry fee will probably be $100USD. Any extra
money from the entry fees that doesn't go to covering the
costs of putting on this event will be donated to the
Wishing Star Foundation. The Wishing Star Foundation
grants children's wishes that have serious health
problems. The race will focus on riding time and not
making it to the podium. We'll try to get everyone the
most time possible. For this reason there will be no
"qualifying runs." Race heats will be randomly generated,
although we may decide to adjust obviously stacked heats.
