New England Lincolns slalom with the Jaguar Association of New England. "Slaloming is a low-speed run through a field of cones. You make three passes per run (Egg-shell shape, Crossing X, and Oval) before exiting through the stop cones. Times generally run between 40-50 seconds. The course is easy to learn and becomes second nature to drive. Each driver has five timed runs. Your best run determines your finish that day. Instruction IS available."

First car off at 10:00 a.m. -- rain or shine. Please arrive a bit early for tech inspection and to walk the course. The events should conclude about 3 p.m. Be sure to add 4 to 6 PSI to your tire inflation pressures. The Tech Inspection will insure that licensed and insured drivers are operating street legal automobiles with secure batteries, no loose items aboard, good front ends, safe tires, and the like.
