Track Crew News - August 2008

The new track has a name: "Mr. & Mrs." It seems to be a big hit, plus its keeping people fitter riding up the Ground Effect Girder to ride it. We have none some major changes on the Tank Stand we hope this will enable it to better handle the traffic that it gets over the summer.

We haven’t lost our marbles by putting in a bridge at the Corner Shop Connection and changing Slalom and Young Pines exits, we have done this to stop the cross over’s happing in races. It takes 3 marshals to look after that one point and we still have riders going the wrong way. If it still happens in the future it will be the riders fault.

We are going to put another bridge in the Drone and change the entry to Outback so we are able to put the Drone into future races as well, at the same time the exits from the Drone and Dipper will be changed so you will get a blast down a gully at the end

We are getting to the Coaster and will give that a birthday in the next week, plus we are heading back to Taylor’s Bluff to widen the track again.

A last request: Can people please email, phone or even send a carrier pigeon and tell us were trees are down, we are looking after 75 Kms of tracks now and we can’t ride all the tracks ourselves every week and by knowing were they are saves us a lot of time. Track-Crew Contacts here.

Cheers
