About Racing
Posted February 26th, 2011 by Racing
Norfolk Race TeamWe have an active race group which competes at all levels of competition - see the racing blog for results and news. Our racers take part in club events, regional races and national competitions including the English and British Championships and the club has produced several English and British champions. Competitions at the national level use a seedpoint system and provide a route into national teams and snow races. As a Club we also have our own Club Championships (and Fireworks) around the 5th of November each year, and a Night Slalom during February or March.

Pro-Slalom Christmas Challenge including full results
Posted December 12th, 2011 by Racing
A great night racing with 78 racers competing in the first Pro Slalom at Norfolk. A heavy frost to keep the mat fast and the suroundings very seasonal. An excellent course set by David Beckett, resulted in some very close racing a three run pro Slalom, followed by a dual Pro Slalom knock out to round of the night,
A big thanks to all the organisers and helpers, especially Des for the mulled wine, bar and cook staff, race officials including Bernie Wright from ERSA, and a couple of grumpies who braved the heat of the race hut.
