yeh the track was a lot better than i thought and had heard from previous people...
uplift was great, made a difference to the 3 practise runs and one race run i got in the last race!

will the overall point be updated when you have time?

Thanks mono,
I'm not pleased with it though...
I crashed both race runs at the top of the woods, and went like hell for the rest!  >:(

Glad you enjoyed it  :)

Just like to thank the marshals who stood out in the biting wind and cold and wet conditions.

Also like to thank the marshals, spectators and riders who helped clear the track at the end of the day.  Many hands Make light work ;D
 Thanks to all your help we managed to get home at a reasonable hour Thanks

Steve & Martin

Thanks for the kind words, and with the track tweaked the uplift at Avill Ball for Round 3 next month should be just as good.

We are going to drop you off at the bottom of the steep bridleway and cut in a new start about 30 meters up. This will shorten your run time by around 10 seconds but will cut out the long drive to the top, that caused problems at round 1. This will enable the tracvtors to do twice as many uplifts so will increase your amount of riding considerably.

David
PS Does anyone know an outside caterer; that would be interested in servicing our events. We really need one so get in touch please if you do.

Are the points going to be done so every round counts or is it going to be the best 3 rounds or something?

Well Josh as a wild guess I would have thought the rules page on NACC events would give you the answer ;)
Because I am so good to you... Try the left hand side   No 2 on Points list ;D
