Gutted. I loved dragons and have some great memories from them.  :'( I certainly hope there are some DH races in S.Wales next year. Hopefully Dragons will return one day!

Thats a shame, with some of the tracks available. Sounds like he was really up against it.

I hope there can continue to be a series of sorts, maybe under a different banner.

I know, we're in Southampton and focussed on the Dragons this year mainly because they were the closest series to us that gave BC points! I wanted to do Pearce and Caersws next year anyway on top of the Dragons but now it looks like I'll have to do them instead of! Damn.

Poor Jase, all that effort and now this. It's rubbish.

This is one of the worst things I've had to put myself through reading in a long time...  :'(

I only ever had one race, Cwmcarn was my first, and I will remember it forever.

Dragon downhill events are the best, and I really give it up for J. Awesome series, a big fat thank you to him!

Who fancies forming a club then?

Sounds like a possible solution, perhaps what Jason is alluding to is that a seperate club deals with the FC or any of the other land owners.  Then perhaps we can subcontract Jason, to arrange uplifts, timing etc.

Perhaps the races might have to change to private venues rather than FC.  Anyone got any ideas.

If we formed a club, 'South Wales DH', with some like minded people who are willing to give up a bit of their time, this could easily be made to work?

Sorry, didn't see this.  Thread on WDA, Welsh Downhill Assosciation:

That will really help us with any future relations with the FC.
