Dome Valley!! That place still makes me cringe!!! Last time i raced there was back in 93 must have been the worst experience of my life, couldnt even make one lap in the wet clay and my old man would have kicked my ass if i didnt try.... Im a good mud rider now though haha hope its better up there now guys have fun!

they sound like my memory's of the place in 1990, myself and Niki Irwin were the only 8-11's ridersr their, it took us 15 minutes to do one lap cutting out the big hills, i have never seen a place so muddy, i think we had to get towed in and out of the pits that day

the old man did a lot of riding at the dome in the early days 80-90s but i never had the pleasure till this year with the ridge run... No where comes close to a wet dome! that place will make or break men!

Man ive been wanting to talk about this track for ages now!
The best thing about this track is that its run in conj with the council
so in other words no neighbours can complain about the track being there
and also it has a 25 year lease so no matter what its going to be open for the next 25 years :jerry:
Will most prob be there on Sunday, i also heard that the some people who are doing the 4 hours race thingy the day before are camping up there then riding the track the next day!
