there is only 1 over 35 vet on modern bike group.  for 2011 it will be a VMXdN race  so international teams can enter a 3 man team.  This class is by invatation only BUT  all non uk  riders will get a entry.

NZ will probably have one of the biggest entrys. I spoke to josh recently and he is 100% confirmed to ride, probably on my works RC500 Honda. he said ben townley would be keen as well.  Last week i spoke to shayne king who also confirmed he will be bringing a team of riders with him. he mentioned his bro darryl and tony cooksly.    There has also been 4 guys for so cal who want to ride.

Surprised you guys haven't tried claiming the NZ team as the aussie team seeing as they've probably all raced in oz or at least been there on holiday

Entries open midnight 13 feb uk time,  you guys can get a jump on the rest of the world.  www.farleighcastle.co.uk.  I was up at farleigh yesterday and the farmer has laid hundreds of tonns of topsoil to the steps and terracing in the woods and re seeded the whole venue.  it looks lush and come some dry weather will be finished off nicely. He has also cut all the scrub bushes from the orchard area and it looks like a parkland.   for this year we also have the use of a lovely 10 acre field at the top of the venue for additional camping. Its a nice quiet area that overlooks the circuit.
