Bill, good luck with this adventure. I'm not sure of the answer to this one (Physics was never my strong point) but I do know that when I practiced for my bicycle road racing days, I had great luck practicing on hills
and I also practiced on a mountain bike which had more resistance, from the tires and also the weight.
When I had the course down on a mountain bike, I hopped on a road bike and it was awesome. I had less resistance to work against, so it seemed easier to navigate the course with, hence I went faster with less effort. (Always a good thing)
My advice to you: If you are indeed using razor scooters for the race, then practice with a heavier scooter with pneumatic tires and also practice on an uphill course. Don't forget to practice on a razor type scooter as well though, just so you can get the feel of that.
GoOd LuCk!
