GTAe and Buddy L have both riden out there.
Ive done a couple of laps but dont really remember it much, was quite a while ago.
All i remember was that it was really dusty, which i think they were addressing that problem at some stage.

right! where to begin.

the track is great, but EXTREMELY dusty.
middle of the pack racing is just racing in a constant thick dust cloud. really really dusty. big dust burms ect. if you stray off your line:pinch:

would really like to go back there again when it has rained overnight.

i have never been to a MX race with so many accidents. almost every start had someone go off on a stretcher, even the peewee track had someone taken through to the ambulance looking shagged. maybe they should have a think about that first corner? :doctor:

If its anything like the Golf Course (using the term loosely) to be, you will need to shoo the Sheep off before use...
