I found this race a Joke.

I will Certainly not be entering the next two rounds, Firstly no-one can predict the weather(i understand this). BUT if you are going to allow People to camp on the fields then atleast have a way of getting them on/off the field. WHY SHOULD WE pay good money to go to an event to then not even be helped out of the field, when Mr Roberts was questioned by my dad about Is there going to be any help Off the field, There was a smug Reply of. 'wait till the end, There should be enough man power' Also he didnt want to use a tractor, to churn the Field up. Well if thats the case, make it so people have to find a campsite...
Thank god there was some Nice 4x4 drivers,

Thankyou to them.

Also 3 toilets for 300 riders+family+friends+spectators. Huh

?

Anyway the course was good, the racing was good.

Quit your moaning you sound like my gran.

Went really well I thought. No ques for toilets, the ques for the uplift were constantly moving. No waiting at the top for my run. Everything went really well apart from my 2 race runs!
Good effort , thanks Chris.

Ok, my First post was Probably ott, just came home extremely pi**ed off that even with 5 of us we couldnt Push the car out of the event,

i just found it a bit of a joke that there was no actual help to get off the field.

I've been to Moto-x races before with 3/4 tractors waiting to help people off.

I'm Not faulting the racing/riding. All im saying is that i shouldnt need to risk injuring myself or others for the sake of getting there/Going home.

When I was leaving, Ian (i think) went on in an old tractor to pull people off.

The nice woman down the road let me and my mate use her hose to wash our bikes all day Grin

i seemed to spend most of the weekend towing people out with my 4x4.. Roll Eyes

i agree that tractors should of been available. Oh and the lack of loo's was a bit poor.

Apart from that it was a very good event all round.. Grin

I had a great time despite snapping my lever and folding my rotor on my 2nd practice run! I'm very glad I no longer own a tent, I was VERY pleased to be able to park on the fireroad for the whole weekend and set my gazebo up over the back of my van. I expect I would have been a bit more miserable if I had a tent in the field in 6" of mud & water!

Would like to see the results to see how poorly I did, best I could manage was a 2:58, I blow in the wet.

Oh and on the toilet front I've got avoiding portaloos at races down to a fine art - stop at Tescos on your way in the morning and relieve yourself there, and then use a pub for food and a second unloading in the evening

Helps that I'm a fella and I can pee anywhere I suppose, I REALLY don't envy the girl racers, or the mums/sisters/GFs etc, or those who dragged the aforementioned along to the event and then felt pretty bad about it! Are you saying there were no toilets in the field, surely the 3/4 by the uplift weren't the only ones??

top weekend, best organised race i,ve entered, I stopped racing about 2 years ago because of all the hanging about waiting for your run (because it was late) no probs this weekend,uplift on sat was mint too, just a shame the big man upstairs couldn't help out with the weather. ah well at least I know what it's like to ride through thick custard (last 20m before he finish) Grin
