and ben that is a rad idea, but I would say do a corner half way down the straight and the bottom corner.

for people complaining about leathers, man up, check ebay every day. I got my first set for less then $40 shipped, ssecond hand leathers cost way less then a fullface.

Alex,

Its about getting the 1st aid providers back again.

They did not like last year's crash, and won't do it without all riders using proper safety gear.  Full face is mandatory, and you should be ready for leathers also.

Hey I'm not doubting safety at all, but are leathers really necessary? Like its not an International IDF race.Full face definitely but I know a lot of riders can't race because they can't afford leathers...yet

Still finalising the budget but its looking like it'll be around 70
