Thanks for getting dates up early. Makes it much easier to get time off work.


Any news on when final series results for the 2012 season will be up?


Also, AWABA tbc? The venue or the dates?

Thanks

I've come down to the Coffs Harbour race the last couple of years from Brisbane and always enjoyed the road trip. Seeing as that's not on the calendar next year thinking maybe giving Awaba a try because I've heard really good things about it. Just wondering what accommodation is like down there, much close to the track or can I expect a drive? Also would I need to book accommodation early or are there plenty of options?

You will probably want to stay in Newcastle which is about a 30-40 min. drive away. I doubt you will have to book a long time in advance to get a place to stay.

It isn't a huge town but the best place to consider may be Toronto (pronounced locally as Tronno......). Get in early and book it in as it is half the drive to the venue that Newcastle is.

Registration for Thredbo is now open:
http://www.rockytrailentertainment.com/events/DH-registration.html

On that page you will also find a section on rules and regulations - nothing new but a selection of the FAQs we get throughout a weekend.

And some Thredbo specific questions:

Can I practice the track before the race?
Yes - and you can get a $30 lift ticket on the Friday (competitors only)

Can I get a cheaper rate if I have a Thredbo season pass?
Unfortunately the race fees won't change if you have a season pass. Obviously you don't need another ticket for Friday practice.

The Flow Rollercoaster is on Saturday - will this affect practice?
There is 1 crossover where we will have a marshall to stop riders doing DH practice when a Flow Rollercoaster competitor is coming through.
