Results will directly influence races and new track building, so have your say:
TRACK 1
Rarely used lately, raced early last year. Starts as fast firetrack, right into tight gully, ends with option of jump out of gully or over gully (last jump now used in new track)
TRACK 3
(has multiple endings) As used in Ballarat DH #2, starts of tight through trees, crosses fireroad, over white mullock heap, ends with off camber rocky section, into a gully and small drop off a ridge. Described by Jarrah Breeze as having 'world cup' sections

Holy shit, is that all out at Nerrina?
Last time I was in Ballarat, we were still running races out on Mt. Buninyong and on the old Black Hill course....times have changed for the better!

MOOREYS #1, but i haven't ridden the new tracks yet. DAVES'S look cool but i can't see myself hitting that step down, which sort of takes the sting out of it.
All the tracks you have rock and you have put so much work into them, just wish it was closer to melb so i could ride after work.

Soon as my riding gets back up to scratch I plan to! Cheers for the accomodation offer, If I can't handle staying with either of my parents I'm up for it...
ROBBIES for me, Moorey#1 is sick as well, but i love the road gap-bomb step down-bomb gap bit...
Havent riden the new tracks yet, but by the sounds of the 30ft step down, im hang'n!
BTW-where do the three new tracks start/finish etc (in reference from the start of ROBBIES or MOOREY#1)
Cheers.
I love them all. They are short and sweet. if i had to choose one robbies is awsome as well as davos but i like the track 4 with the stairs. Everyone that has made them make them well. Mooreys tracks are good to. Ah well id have to say they are all awsome!!!!

the ballarat boys will explain it better but they start at the same point as the other tracks but run down the opposite way to those tracks. i think the tracks we've riden ajay face to the west (???) and the new tracks head down to the east (correct me please).
oi ajay we will get up there soon when you aint hitting buller. ill be right when youre up for it mate. the nose is good.

East/west?..I'm bad with directions...my new track and Daves run upposite from the direction of most others, (3,4, robbies. moorey #1, X)

'Robbies', with the roadjump/stepdown/bombhole combo is rare gold indeed, and where else but Nerina would you find a 30ft stepdown in a race track...we are blessed.

right on moore!
just went to nerrina yesterday - the 30ft stepdown is unreal! that whole area off the back is so good with all the doubles and burms etc, when i heard about the 30ft stepdown, i was think'n...
"yeah, it'll be big, but probably not 30ft"
Boy, did i get a rude surprise! - its definately that big!
Anyway, i hit it, and fuck it was fun! had an absolute ball on those 2 tracks!
Props on building boys!!

I loved the 'Effie',....theres not much you can't do with 35" mud tyres and a huge V8.
Sadly she died....'P' platers, on their first drive, on a highway, should give way at a T intersection.
Anyway, that was 10 months ago, and I hear he is finally walking again.

Keep the votes coming, your opinions will sway our track choices for coming races.
Is what the most populer tracks are will be run defently. I was wondering because if they still would run a track on the opposite side of Nerrina (like daves) and another track on the other side (robbies) where most the tracks are.
