Bombhole Challenge

Just saw this on the website, what's it all about?! Do you just race around the bombhole section?! Thought the bombholes were f**ked from the farming of the woods aswell!?

It tells you in the article about it.  You race round two laps, one long full lap of the bombholes and one shorter 3/4 loop.  It's done in a dual format and there's normally a team event as well.  It's bloody good fun, a great laugh.

I've missed it the last few years glad it's back!  I'll be there.

Its the best thing ever and hopefully everybody turns up for the atmosphere.

But just a heads up rich/john, it's on the day of the NPS so quite a few people won't be there, infact nobody i talk to can make it.

Yep, It is on the NPS date, The weekends are running out when it could be done, we figured that as long as is missed the Pearce, Dragons and other smaller series, that would make more sense...
sorry to all that want to race...
Thanks
Tom

Oh, that is beautiful.

Sunday 10th August is the day before I go to France, and I've already booked it off work!

Fortuitous is the word I believe!

I'll be setting up a team I think.

I've heard you can get up to speeds in excess of 6mph in the bombholes, so s**t yeh, skinsuit will bring home the win without a doubt.
