This Saturday 22nd November will see round 2 of the Coffs Downhill series being run on the state track at Mt Coramba in Coffs Harbour. Round 1 was great and went off without a hitch! Hopefully we can get the same (.....more!) enjoyment out of round 2 and 3 and 4 and 5!
As usual, you can do your own private shuttles as much as you like up until the official practise starts. That should commence at around 12.30pm ish and race runs will kick off at 3pm.
Timing will be done by super high tech handheld stop watches operated by trained professionals. Your time is guaranteed to be within 0.01 of a second and 42 seconds, like I said……..real accurate.
I will be doing rego on the hill as of about 11am so please try and get there to sign on. Race entry is $20 plus another $10 if you need an MTBA day license. Please remember that we can only accept cash as our credit machine doesn't exist.......
We won’t have a portable toilet on stand by so please remember to either do your thing before hitting the hill or bring some fodder roll and a shovel.
You must wear an approved full face helmet and gloves! Body armor is also highly recommended. You should also ride a bike in this event that is capable of handling the obstacles and forces on a downhill track. Don’t show up on a BMX and expect to find a smooth track that will accommodate your 90psi tyres. Downhill is hard and challenging and can be very dangerous if you take the risks. Don’t be grumpy if you show up without a helmet and safety gear and we tell you that you can’t race: we set these rules for your safety so come prepared.
If you are bringing your family along or your Mum or Dad is coming, maybe you could ask them to act as a volunteer for us and score a free entry! We need course marshals to keep the huge crowds under control and keep an eye on the riders as they come past. We also need people to drive the shuttle car and help with loading and unloading of your pride and joy (your bike that is………). If you can help out please call Al at Ventoux Cycles on (02) 6652 3355 or me (……..Dozer) on 0402 078 541. If you have a 4WD that is capable of towing the trailer to make shuttles better, please get in touch ASAp as we will pay you fo rit. You must let us know in advance.

Please drive safely and accordingly during your practise runs. Other people will be using the road so take it easy.
We will run the event in the rain if the road is passable so remember to bring a towel or something to sit on the seat of the shuttle car so we don't trash it.

Round 2 time! Yeehaa!:D:):D:)

Thank you every body for another rad day of riding! The feedback we got for the new section was good because it made you all talk about it.
I will post the time up when I get them for everyone to compare with each other.
You know yourself when you've had a good run. A good run doesn't involve snaking a line and cheating. It isn't my problem if you cheat but it is a reflection on your own character and you are kidding yourself if you do it. One day you will get caught red handed and made out to be a fool. The easy way to avoid that is by not cheating!

Dug, you and your lovely wife deserve a pay rise. The event is less than 24 hours old and you have the feature presentation filmed, edited and online! It is a cracker video (again), puts a great feel for the day out there.
Thanks!

Oh by the way, number 3 has earned an automatic time penalty for not handing the plate in.:rolleyes:
