The first race of the 2002/ 2003 RSO Indoor season took place on November 30th at the Forum in Cambridge. The floor was grippy, which made for some excellent racing in all the categories. The emphasis for this meet was put on skaters having fun while being exposed to the rules.
Falls were kept to a minimum and Dave Mathews noted at the end of the meet that there were very few cones that had been hit during the races. Every category was well matched, with skaters grouped by age and ability. Some skaters got a handicap start, which made for some really exciting finishes. As in the past, some of the relays were decided on the number of fouls commited by the teams. It was nice to see skates from the Tri-Cities Club, Scooters Indoor Speed, and from Buffalo attending the meet.
