good one Mark , its been on my mind to redo the trx day . We have a couple of double header days down here with champions
eg one track sat and another sunday deals that may work for some . It is a distance to go for 1 day when we can get 2 different tracks in 2 days or we just pick one track what ever the OOOSDC crew decide . My pick of vic tracks would be winton , broadford or P Island in no set order
Winton nearest to Sydney at Benella Hume Hwy $ 145.00 as per web site
Broadford another hour further to melbourne $ 135.00
P Island 2 hrs the other side of melbourne $ 219.00
I will go to what ever track is selected but not the paper clip , sorry bannana benders , it looks as well dare I say it sh-t with bumps
my take on these tracks , don't get up me I know I'm old and slow and looked at from a road rider's view
VIC TRACKS
Winton -- flat good spread fast and slow left and right corners can keep up with others once you get the lines right trx friendly , track surface ok just looks a bit off and has a bit of run off if needed. one of my favorite tracks , have only been there once but will return , a track where you need to think 4 stars out of 5
Broadford -- undulating and exciting to see for the first time if you don't like right handers stay home , only 2 left turns good surface even in the wet , run off don't run off its , 2 straights make it tough to stay with other bikes , not too hard to work out , for your first time it is good 3.5 stars
Calder -- good spread tight lefts and rights , if concrete walls worry you close your eyes , track surface ok , wouldn't like to run off here as your speeds are not that slow , no ride if wet due to drag strip front straight becomes slippery , little jump up and flip flop on the back section plus coming onto the straight are exciting , trx friendly , does scare some riders , need to commit to get the best 3 stars
Phillip Island -- If you like fast fast corners and good surface wet or dry your in heaven here , run off is not nice if you go into gravel traps , speed and rocks don't mix , trx's will get belted on the straights , learn to slip stream or carry a hook 5 stars naturally
SOUTH AUST TRACKS
Mt gambier Mac Park -- good range of left and right not many really fast , was a bumpy track when I went there 7 years ago and chewed front tyres , has been resurfaced since but I heard it had problems , run off same as any smaller tracks , need to think to get the best here 2.5 stars
Mallalla -- fast dog leg and a couple of heavy braking corners are about the high light of this track for me , surface was ok 6 years since I went there , after some of the vic tracks it lost its apeal for me , but still a nice track to try 2.5 stars
SYDNEY TRACKS
Oran Park -- had plenty to offer trx , good corners and a nice straight , good track to think to go better , no places to rest , I will be going back here 4.5 stars
Eastern Creek -- fast and similar to Phillip Island , only been there once will need to revisit 4 stars
catch ewe later bob
) so whats it like?
