of bending in high-wind
conditions. At the base of each
anodized aluminum leg is a
wide, steel footpad. According to
ASC VP Craig Tucker, the larger
footpads allow SCORE to drive
heavy-duty stakes to secure it
under heavy wind conditions.
The ASC canopy is easy for
SCORE staff to assemble and
disassemble with a one-piece
thumb latch. "All of our canopies
come with an easy-release
thumb latch, which is a one-
piece unit that is not anything
like the old push-pin latching
systems that you see within the
market today," said Tucker. The
thumb latch is easy to use and
reduces the chance of pinching
or having the system fail so you
can't lock the leg in place.
The cover is just as durable
as the frame. Its manufactured
from 6000 Denier Polyester
that features a UV protective
coating on the outside of the
fabric, with a urethane coating
on the underside. "The urethane
coating on the underside of
the canopy, helps with water
resistance," says Tucker. "This
allows SCORE to hose off all
dust and dirt collected during
a race, wait for the canopy
to dry, and pack it away for
the next event." The table
covers are also made from
the same material, allowing
for great logo placement
on an easy clean surface.
The canopy has additional
