Title: Revised Braintree track
Post by: jimwise68 on June 19, 2007, 10:03 PM
 :crazy2:

What have they done to it ? ? ? ? ?

The first straight is hard work now. Speed jump? More like a launch pad and the first set of doubles is like the top half of the himalayas at Hayes, they proper throw you up but you have none of the incline to take some of the speed off, and the first berm is like something from the Elvis Presely film Roustabout, a proper wall of death.

Gonna be fun on Sunday. :uglystupid2:

first speed jump imagine  2 milk crates and a lump of ply

1st set of doubles  imagine the hymilayas but with out the really steep slope to slow you down before take off  ;D

2nd set of doubles same as the first but now your your turning aswell  ???

then a very loose long bumpy berm   and the rest of the track is the same as before

1 word for the 1 straight HORRIBLE and the the 1st berm is shocking as well.

I really can't wait for Sunday now.....to be over, with no injuries hopefully

Hi m8, no won't be in da house as I'm officiating SOUTH Regional @ Andover on Sunday.  Seen the pics on Talk and me and the boys can't decide if we like the new layout or not (sorry Mark) but will try and get up one Wednesday night for a roll around.  If you can get along to the Dagenham Regional on 22 July we'll see you there.  Humps

Just to update, the track at Braintree has had some more work done on it and has been described as awesome :daumenhoch: Dont forget there is a race there Sunday, with an OS gate, no points this time but should be good practice for November  :daumenhoch:
