This race was a Saturday and Sunday race this time. The lines they used for this round were Team Line to Stepdown to a new bit cut straight ahead of Stepdown so you didnt have to go through the corners. After that it was just straight down Couch Chute then into Pimp Stump then down the last steep chute but entering it from the left. I reckon it was a pretty good track overall, lots of lines to pick throughout the track and it was fast.
Saturday was obviously practice day. It had been raining overnight, and was raining a little bit in the morning. I woke up and decided that it would be better to put muds on at Carls instead of doing it in the pits and risking getting unnecessary wet putting them on. So we left later than we wanted to due to putting muds on in the garage before we left. It was a good choice we made tho, as when we got to the bottom gate we found out that you couldnt drive up to the pits like previous races held there. We saw Robert there and he had registered with Lloyd and stuff as a team, and since the others were yet to turn up robert had room to take us up to the pits with him. First run of the track was a tad dodge. It was pretty slippery the whole way down. I decided to go off Team Line drop and ended up just sliding down and clipped a few stumps, managed to stay on though. Not entirely sure how tho since the bike didnt go where i wanted it to The rest of the track was pretty much the same the rest of the way down but not as steep, so had a bit more control. Throughout the day the track got better up the top and worse down the bottom in my opinion. Team Line got looser but faster and way more fun. drop after Stepdown got the run in and take all into a thick pile of slow you down slippery mud. Pimp stump got dodgier and dodgier with a rut forming, that i couldnt seem to avoid and caused me to crash into trees twice. Last chute was all good though. By the end of practice day the track was a complete mess. People were crashing all over the place i believe (or i was at least). The take off of the end jump had developed a rut that was causing people to be sent of it funny it made me come in very nose heavy and slowed me down, so i nearly cased the cased pad with my nose down. That was the end of practice day pretty much.
Race day came, and it had been pissing down all night. Me and Carl woke up, looked at each other and started wondering if the race was still going to be on, and tried to think of what we could wear in order to stay realtively dry. Carl finaly remember he had some we gear overall thingy and a set of pants and top that we decided we would wear. At this point we werent sure if the race was going to be on or not. Not long after trying the gear on to make sure it fitted, and Carl taped himself up to his overalls I got a txt from Kaytee saying that the race was indeed cancelled. At this point i was both happy but guttered. I wasntt looking forward to getting soaked and standing around in the rain all day, but i was keen to ride and have a go and was up for the challenge of attempting to stay on. After seeing a photo (see below) i saw why they cancelled the race
