DH round-1 Canberra, because Thredbo has national round, interschools etc,etc. Scum site is a great track but crap for transport and not popular with the finish so far away from the main area.
DH round-2 Lithgow is my choice here, although it also has a national round, Wollongong dosen't have a DH track so is out. Unless wsmtbdhvp has something "up his sleeve" best they have is Pacific Park.
Pacific Park has good transport turn around and a great area down the bottom. How are things going with sorting the track? WSMTB haven't had a state race for a while because of lack of a decent venue so it would be good for them to have one in 2007.
DH round-3 Hunter of course, if they have their new track up and going.
Sorry Al and Wayno but Hunter tracks are better. Ourimbah is a good venue but there is something to say for being able to see the riders finish near the main area.
DH round-4 Nundle, never been there and don't know much about this site but everyone speaks highly of this venue and track.
DH Champs can/could go to any of the venues that missed out on a series round. should look seriously at which site will offer the best overall racing.
XC round-1 Ulladulla is SCUM is it not? In any case South Coast offers something/somewhere different for the riders and should be considered.
XC round-2 Southern Tablelands, this will most likely be the yet to be completed Wingello State Forest track. This venue may get a run as one of the 8 or 12 hour events next year.
Central Tablelands, fuck Flynny he gets heaps of races.
Wollongong, race at revised Appin track seemed to go off ok and WMBC put in a huge effort to stage their 2006 race. There is more work to do to further improve this track and WMBC would be keen to hold another race in 2007. (gotta add that I am a member of this club)
XC round-3 SORCC put in another huge effort to create a brand new track for 2006. Everyone I spoke to that rode this track really liked it, only comment was that it is quite a short lap. SORCC are looking at increase the lap distance for next year. WSMTB, no state series round this year so could be first choice for 2007.
XC round-4 Port Macquarie were up for a round in 2006. Bit of a stuff up with the proposed dates for series round clashed with their existing calendar so they opted out for this year. I personally spoke with club pres afterwards and offered 2007 series race. Port Maquarrie will be keen to stage a race in 2007.
Need to sort dates out with them early as they are a very active club from what I have heard.
XC champs - same as for the DH, any of the venues that didn't get a series round.
4X - who cares !!!
