Finally got round to downloading the pics off my camera - only taken 3 months. The race was on the 13th Oct
The track reminded me of braintree, just a lot sunnier :LolLolLolLol:
My lid nearly didn't make it, as the Lady on the check in desk wouldn't let me carry that and my Laptop on the plan, but after a heated discussion I was told to take it to security and see what happened!! Got there and security didn't even bat an eye lid, sailed straight through!!! ;D

The results didn't go so great I got a 4th, 2nd & 2nd in the moto's but because of the ABA transfer system didn't make it to the final, but I was in there mixing it with 25+ plus intermediates - of which most where team sponsored riders, so had a blinding day!!!

Cool pics Paul. Looks like a nice track too. I'd love to do some races in America. Maybe this year if I don't manage to see the Olympics, or 2009 definitely.
How does the transfer points system work?
How did the Chevy HHT drive?
-
They were a really friendly bunch so if you ever get a chance I'd say go for it. (They didn't even get the ump when I started ribbing them about devils pedals >:D)
I was like the novelty, got bigged up over the tanoy and had kids coming to talk to me to here my funny ACCENT - I WAS LIKE THE FREAK SHOW but in a nice way :LolLolLolLol:
The transfer system is wierd, and it depends on how many people are in the class, but basically if there are 4 people in a class for example - The winner of each moto goes direct to the Final, so finally in moto 3 you are left with 2 people in a run off for 1 place in the final. So not everyone gets a final.
I personally didn't like the system, and surely it's about getting laps in racing. But if you win your 1st moto you get 2 laps racing that's it, surely that's not what BMX is all about :idiot2:
The HHT drove OK but it was dull as dishwater & cheap plastic everywhere inside!!

Transfer systems sounds good for people who only care about winning. How boring it must be going to a meeting and just racing 1 moto and going straight to the final! I think if I was winning Moto 1 or Moto 2 (OK, pigs might fly), I would finish second on purpose so I could race again.
Our South Region system where everybody gets a final/more track time is better.
