from what i gather the trak starts at the new start - straight down the new forest section with jumps in - onto new open section which is mint! into wood again (think it was used for first round of winter series?) - fairly flat with couple  new jumps, out over fire road into switch backs (which u can only just see as majorly over-grown) off drop over small fire road into berms, off the rooty corner, then goes left onto what i think is old nationals track? (correct me if wrong?) which finishes to the right of the big tabletop used at rd2 - I think this is right as the other fields are full of corn so can't use. Can't wait!!!!!

i was there today, it would make sense that that is the track as the track has all been cleared.

it is an awsome track with loads of jumps so if you are not a jumper then best get practising
