Race
2 of the 2002 California Championship gravity
racing series had a another small field overall,
and started off with drizzle and wet pavement. But
eventually the sun came out, and the racers had
some tight racing on the new course, which has 3
turns and is slightly longer than the layout used
previously.

Classic luge
(buttboard) produced one of the more bizarre races
in memory. The format was a 3 run points race. In
the first run, Jason took the lead start to finish,
but after dropping some speed in turn 3 threw in a
couple paddles to try to up his speed, which is
against the rules, and so he was DQ's. Run 2 was
similar to run 1, but Jason kept his hands on the
board for the win. In run 3, the deciding run,
Jason had the lead into turn 3, butpinched the line
and skidded off most of his speed. As the finish
line approached, he cut across the track, and
Scott's line, at which point Scott hooked up with
him, and Jason's feet crossed the line in front.
But the officials ruled that Jason had blocked, and
so Scott ended up winning the race without ever
crossing the line first!
