Awaba is hosting a National round this season so they'll have their hands full with that. As for the Coffs round, we'll see how things pan out.Neither awaba or coffs will be raced this year, awaba because it's dangerous and coffs because its a one man show at coffs and is a lot of work for one man to do each year.
P.s these werent not my decisions they are just what Ive heard from a valuble source

I hate it too, simply because it's a fucking pedally track. Yeah flame me and tell me to 'man up and pedal' all you want guys, but I think it's a shit track for that reason... So I will probably just skip the 4th round if Stromlo is on the cards.Looks like Stromlo is back on the calandar for next year. Any reasons why??
Most people I talk to hate that track.
stromlo isn't even that pedally , its a great track. Actually challenges the riders , i might have to say its my favourite track!I hate it too, simply because it's a fucking pedally track.

To be honest Blue Range isn't going to happen and you know it. It is a logistical nightmare and if somewhere were to be seriously injured it would take a good 30 minutes to get them to the closest fire road. Having said that, one of my favorite tracks.Here is what we have planned for the 2012 season:
5 rounds + champs: we are hoping to get all 5 rounds organised - it's still early days and we might have to drop one but we thought we put it in the calendar to make planning for you easier. As already pointed out the dates are chosen based on getting you fit for the Nationals.
2nd round tbc: we want to hold it at the Bateman's Bay track. We heard good things about it but haven't heard back from the club for a while after our initial email conversation.
We try to alternate tracks every year so if you have some favourites from last year that are not in the 2012 lineup they are likely to be in again in 2013.
Stromlo: the plan is to ride at Blue Range but the club is still battling with the paperwork to get the track up and running so we need to keep Stromlo as plan B. I also heard that there are plans to reshape Stromlo but that's not confirmed either.
I will keep you posted with updates - looking forward to a great racing season.
I agree that U19's and elites should do seeding runs instead of qualifying aswell. It would only take an extra 20 minutes for everyone else in these categories to have a race run if seeding was used. At the Thredbo national round there were over 70 elites and 50 U19's and all got to have a race run and we never get that amount of elites and U19's at state rounds which makes the qualifying system a bit daft. Also if a rider who was in contention for the overall had a mechanical and didn't qualify they would miss out on lots of points and would limit their chances of getting the overall.Do you think U19's and Elites could do seeding runs this year instead of qualifying? I think it would be fairer.
What do other people think?
