I've rode& raced Quite a few venues and i'm probably Gonna get Slandered For saying this But IMO i would Much Rather Race the FOD compared to Kinnerton. Purely My opinion.

Your entitled to your opinion, but you haven't even seen the new course, there will always be someone else to take your place as well.

What is the FOD??

There will be a round of the new Pearce series at Kinnerton

Someone May take my place,But i just can't see their being a National level Course on kinnerton, Imo Bringewood Or hopton would be better suited than Kinnerton.

But im sure the FOD could hold a very succesfull regional.

I will go where ever the NPS is, But I have to say Kinnerton is a littel Flat reminded me of Hopton a bit
I think the new bit is however steeper
so bring it on

Will let you all know when Kinnerton is finished and get an uplift or three laid on, it is a totally new course so reserve your thoughts till after, if it doesn't work pretty sure you know by now that I will take the lad's back to alter it for the better Wink

It doesn't feel flat to ride, as long as you have the ability to carry your speed through the techy stuff.  granted, that road used in the first rounds was a little iffy but the replacement section for the second round worked nicely.  Race tracks should have a little pedalling.  The bike has pedals and gears...not a set of Mx pegs!

I know what your saying and I liked most of the MSS track at Kinnerton especially the open bit  but there was a section that was like a big deep rut and for me it just didn't flow it was better after they dug it out a littel
