the track is in the same spot where the bottom road jump was, it is the same top section as it was before with a new fun bottom section. This race is going to be sick.

everyone come out to this race it's gonna be huge with BBQ and music, also there will be a pretty nifty prize given at the end of the day

I won't be able to get out to the track until Saturday, so I'll ask this question anyway.

I was at the track a couple of weeks ago and the bottom half did not look like you could run a race on it. As it has been burnt / harvested the lines of the old track wind around obstacles that are no longer there. It would be much faster to straight line the corners because they are now in the middle of a paddock. Has this changed? Thanks.

FARK...

I was really looking forward to this race...
...the I decided it'd be a great idea to blow up the rebound on my shock...

I'll take it in tomorrow but the chances of it being fixed me being there on Sunday are pretty slim. Dangnammit!

Anyone got a spare bike or shock they want to lend me?!?!! :lol:

Hey commander

I did my shock in in practicing this bloody rock garden(Isaacs) a fortnight ago......
The shock took 10 days and $200 for a rebuild.....

What sort of shock do you need ?
My son will lend ya his Stinky Jr if you want.

I must admit this course is an eye opener. In my opinion it is the most challenging course in the CORC series. If your into rock gardens then you will be in heaven!

Well, seems the shock is going to be ok for the weekend. Not going to be perfect (lack of rebound in the rock garden is going to kill me) but after seeing the track for the first time today it looks like it'll at least be fun!

Quite a challenging course. Only thing I don't like is the lack of a section where you can really open it up.... but maybe i just need to practice it a bit more :oops: :)

isaacs race will be great we will have a BBQ, music and MAL ADJUSTED has donnated a MAD MAX 2 which will be a lucky door prize.

Top section of the track will be through the rock shute but if needed a 'chicken line' will be bunted around it as it is quite steep.

the track will cross over the fire road by watever means. ie jump it or roll it, it is entirely up to the rider. bottom is fairly smooth and timid. some 3 foot drops are near the bottom but all can be avoided.

hope to see every1 there

its on long gully road, you cant miss the cars, near the traffic lights. it is where there has been logging, just walk up the road and u will see the track and ppl riding it.
