Can't we replicate this in Oz?
« on: June 02, 2011, 02:55:23 pm »
This track is currently in use in France and was the venue for a recent twin shock event.  Heaven.  No foot breaking table-tops there.  And its on the edge of an industrial estate.

Sadly know were I'm aware of. Sadly again if you did the first things riders would say( In Aus ) it's to fast.
Our tracks are little more than stretched out SX tracks with hardly a use for 4th gear.

It's not quite that nice, but QVMX's Coles Creek track is not that different! Once a year down this way the Bega club run a grasstrack at Coopers Creek and it's again a nice big fast grasstrack on the side of a series of rolling hills. They have a club day there in late June - after all the rain there this year I suspect it's gonna be nice and lush.

But yes, I'd LOVE to ride that track in the piccies. On a nice 250/Open Class twin shocker.

A track like that would never work here anyway....  Track's too long and the hills are too steep....  Too far for all those Euro bikes getting pushed back to the pits, and then having to be pushed up those hills too....  Nah, never work here..   ::)  ::)

Actually that track above used to have a deeper gully in the middle but over the years has been filled up with Euro bikes.

No where near so elaborate because they were setup over a weekend but some of QVMX's earlier tracks had a similar feel, Smiths and Fraser's at Canungra and Janine Dve, Beenliegh (also a Mr MX was run there in the 80's). Covered with houses now of course.

What a grouss track would love to ride the Beeza there bit softer ground than when i came over to ride your Nats at Mt Kembla.  As an outsider i would have thought the right to ride any land (not approved only - so you just go mark out a paddock like in Un Zud) would have been better than tinkering with the class rules?

If that was an Aussie track it'd have another 25 corners in it and be a 10th of the length.

Toowoomba is a fantastic track and only a couple of years ago we were racing the Evo class there in the Thunder X series.
