Free test day @ Broadford new track last Sunday

[steve7406]

Went up to broadford today for the working bee / track test unreal day i think john orchard has done a brilliant job so for getting this to where it is now the track got better as the arvo went on once bedded in it will be awsome with one section allready being name hoon straight (not confirmed) its also got some pretty fast sections first gear corners sweeping bends up hills down hills  would be good to see more helpers/riders at the next working bee.

............................. with one section allready being name hoon straight ...............

I like the sound of that.

Thanks for the kind words Steve, and thanks for coming to lend a hand, you're a mean man with a mattock ;-)

Yeh I really like the track; it will be even better with a little more preparation; hopefully I can get Johnny Coleman to get some equipment out there.

Broadford has Mega-Saturday this Sat, $35 (I think) gives you the day to ride all tracks (Natural Terrain, modern MX, dirt-track, Speedway and Enduro.  If you don't have a licence (race or recreation) a one-day licence can be arranged.

So where do you think we might build a few jumps ? We dont want anything that takes away the natural terrain nature of the track. The wombat hole makes a neat natural jump. Possibly one along Hoony straight on the upside of one of the dips? One on the downhill back straight and one before the dip heading towards hoony straight?

I reckon with those undulations down 'Hoon straight' you catch enough air, I was thinking halfway down the downhill back straight, halfway down the straight that heads towards the pit area and a third one halfway down the start straight for spectator interest (and to show-off  ;-) ).
