Event Description
Grab 'yer Wheelyboard and take a shot at the Wild Wild West!
Format
4-man Heats 'Round Robin' style racing into finals elimination tree
The Hill
Fast technical track featuring 2 hairpin turns, fast straights and tight sweepers with plenty of drafting options. Speeds while racing could reach as high as 80km/h. Road surface is nice and smooth and ready to shred.
Travel
There will be a shuttle bus for this race This bus will leave from Sydney on FRIDAY afternoon from my house at around 5 or 6pm and will make one stop at Hopkin on the way to pick up anyone else who cant make it to Curl Curl.
We will be traveling back to sydney as soon as the race finishes.
Location
The hill's location is on the western side of the Blue Mountains (45 minutes from Katoomba) but will be undisclosed until the DAY of the race. Everyone will meet at Venice Caravan Park, Hartley by 6am and will roll as a group to the hill. If you are late, you miss out.
Categories
There will be only an opens class run as far as race divisions go as the track is not a 'Grom/Beginner' track, however if there are riders under the age of 17 and a bunch of girls then we will have results and prizes for them according to how they ranked in the opens.
Registration
Registration is now closed
Safety Requirements
- Full Leathers
- Fullface helmet
- Gloves
Due to the location of the race, and it being far from the nearest medical institute we will need all competitors to be prepared and come ready with all the necessary safety items listed.
Accommodation
Due to the distance traveling by most competitors, it would be a good idea to get your camping action on, or book somewhere to stay on the friday night. The Majority of the group will be staying at Venice Caravan Park on friday night. It is $14 per person for camping. This is also the meeting place for the following morning.
Event Sponsors
If anyone else would like to help out by donating some prizes let me know and we can get your logo up on race day as an event sponsor!

there will be no camping on the hill. there is a campsite pretty close to the hill, otherwise there could be some accommodation options in Lithgow. Sorry for not posting these details earlier, im on the way home from South America trip now and will have it all sorted in the next few days.
Plan is that the bus will leave from sydney on the friday arvo and drive everyone up there. If you want to drive your own car by all means. There will be a meeting point early on the morning of the race which is nearby the race hill. We will all go together to the hill from there. We will get the race started early so we wont finish late. Everyone will need to be one time. If you miss the convoy to the hill, you will miss the race.

between the crew im sure we can lend you a set. worst case scenario you can use my old suit... however i would much prefer that someone else can lend you some...
at the same time, you have a few weeks to buy your own, so get off your ass and do something

so far theres only 17 people registered... looks like theres a lot of pussies in ozzie right now!
not sure how people can call themselves ~Racers~ when they stick to their own turf racing little hillclimb tracks and pathways?
