Title: I remember the race, but not the place
Post by: paulgray on October 02, 2008, 09:09 AM: Who can tell me the location of this track.

I remember Andy Ruffell's pedal destroying my back wheel in one of the motos, thats why I have odd wheels in the first two pictures.

90% sure it's the same meeting. I noticed the missing sticker when I was grouping the pictures. The last pic with me leading Tim was in the first moto, I hade chrome UKIA rims, the jump we are going over was just before the final berm. My rear wheel got shredded before the finals and I replaced it with my old red ARAYA 7X, I guess I got the sticker on the day some time after the first moto.
