And yet, the local council have jumped on board to start building a facility of some undertaking, developed in conjunction with Glen Jacobs, as everything seems to be (sure this desk i'm using is Glen Jacobs designed) He must be an extremely busy man!
The problem then lies with finding a hill to use, but, way off the in the distance is Mount Major (not Glen Jacobs designed, rather Tom Ritchey who invented mountains) which has the hight to make a very tough course, especially when the complete lack of shade but not wind, is a Major factor.
So the course wasn't ideal, with the fine red dirt blowing away in the wind and the mountain crumbling beneath our tyres due to lack of rain. But we raced, even with National champs hangovers, and we did good. Yours truly a creditable 8th. Lach Norris taking a good win and a mention to Paul Van Der Ploeg (not typing that name in full anymore) who rode most of the race with a locked-out fork.
In the womens, Super Wall-e, Jo Wall took her first hard fought win at a national round.
Short track narrowly avoided a debarcle, with entrants voicing concern over the course which was a hot dog shape around two trees at a build cost of $2 (not fun) vs the four cross track which was in town, had less over entrants built at around $100,000 (fun) they changed it for the better, and Dan Mac made us all look stupid with only 4 people not being lapped out.
Circus rolls to Canberra mid March for the 4th and final round!
