Details

Riders meet at the hill at 5 am sharp. The gates open at 6am so traffic/bikes start rolling around six. Being a sunday there'll be minimum truck/utes driving up and down but slightly more familys but with the time of the year not many happy jolly families want to get up nice and early in the cold to have a look at a gray sky

If you can't take on hill climb with ease, stay away.
If you can't foot brake or slide at speed, stay away.

Meet at 5am, race starts at 6am.

Bikes will be on the track, staying in their lane of course!

Cars will be controlled: Races will be run with cars coming down after a safe distance, once the riders are at the bottom, the cars will be sent up followed by the riders van which signals it is safe to run the next heats!

If cops come, the message will be relayed up the hill on radios and everyone bails into the surrounding bush. Limited cars parked at the start and finish line as to not arrouse attention.

If the cops persist, some learning facilities in the area is the alternative location for the remainder of the day.

I believe it will be single elimination, last one down is cut.

Prizes supplied by Cre8tive Sk8 and I also hear Voodoo and Goodtime will be throwing in some goodies as well, I may just have some car tyre to give out to winners as well, keep you footbraking strong!

There will be a shutdown zone on the last straight before the carpark, but it is still downhill, so footbrake hard or slide yourself to a stop, then jump in the waiting van to get back to the top.

This should be a smoothly run day if everyone gets it right!
