its not as though hes saying they have never had it and that whats the problem? 

i have a question.......

will it only be downhill? or is something in the makings?(4x track)

cheers Ryan

I hope not ... Rheola has the worst finish / pit area I've ever been to. The Nationals is an EVENT, not just a race at a good track.

That is unless they've built a field at the bottom, which I doubt.

Not the greatest venue if you want to attract a sponsor from outside the sport i'm afraid.

But great to ride.

Its a cracking venue..

I'm guessing it will be parking in the field near the layby at the bottom of the road, leaving the whole area at the bottom as the pit area.  Well organised that will be mint.

And the track is superb

However it isnt in a field in the middle of nowhere.  It is situated on a main road with several cities near by and the motrway 15 minutes away.  thus has the capabilities to attract alot more spectators.

Maybe we'll have to pull our finger out and help to clean the area up a bit...

The only problem with Rheola would be the same as at Combe Sydenham - the pit area by the finish (at CS this is the trade pitches) has OK atmosphere cos it's closer to the event and the PA can be heard.  But in the "normal" punters' car park, you can't hear what's going on and it's all a bit pants, no race atmosphere, no excitement, no idea what's going on and what time you need to go get on the uplift etc.
I am sure this could be overcome with a bloody long cable for the PA!  Or something...
