Hell yeah

Welcome to the richest leg of downhill racing the world has ever seen. During 10 days in April the worlds best will converge on Australian shores for the start of the IGSA World Tour. Riders from North America, Europe, Africa, South America and Asia will face off against the best riders in Australia for $30,000 in cash and the title of worlds best.

It will be 10 days to examine the soul of a rider and determine if they can come out on top and take the title and the big dollars, or crash in a heap.

Welcome to the Australian World Cup leg, the richest, the biggest, and the craziest show on earth.

Comment by Abdil Mahdzan on February 11, 2012 at 0:12: Robbo, will the odd/even tree system be used for street luge if there are less than 32 riders? Personally I would rather have a 2nd qualifying run on Saturday.

Hypothetically, let's assume the other 31 street lugers also agree with me, that they would also prefer a 2nd qualifying run instead of doing the odd/even tree. Is there enough time on the schedule to do 2nd qualifyng run for street luge on Saturday? Or the timing system will not be available to use/rent/hire on Saturday?

"Eddie Spearing 101 cone challenge"????? on Mountain Straight

Be kinda nice to have racers pick up cones for organisers and track marshalls one morning or evening....

The camping was cold and miserable though which obviously isn't the organisers fault but the running out of toilet paper and not replacing it, the no hot water and the no cleaning of the showers and toilets was a gross let down (literally gross). After my final heat, sopping wet and freezing cold I had a cold shower in a cubicle that was coated in mud (not just a little mud, you couldn't see the paint on the walls. I blame the mountain bikers!) I doubt that any of that is ASRA's responsibility though and as Dave said, we live and we learn. Of all the events I have ever been to though, the facilities at the last years Newtons were by far the worst.

Not complaining though!

ASRA Admin Comment by bernie on February 10, 2012 at 15:31: And another thing:

Bathurst is once again proving to be a polarising event.

Holden v Ford,
Jap v Harley (riding v pushing!),
now it is starting to look like
Luge v Standup,

But what always gets lost in these pointless arguments is this:
Each and everyone that competes wins something worth far more than the few sheckles on offer!

Irrevocable bragging rights that you raced at Bathurst.... which has to be one of, if not the, most gnarly thing you can do!

Thanks ASRA!

ASRA Admin Comment by bernie on February 10, 2012 at 15:17: Precious petals....Camping on that hill is a cherished right of passage, and the best place to meet your brothers and sisters after a day on the track.

The things that I missed these last few years were the riots, the sacrifical offerings of burnt beetles (mostly 1600cc) burning news camera cars, flaming footy and volleyball matches, primary school fundraisers running the beer and sausage sizzle tents, and singing "Old MacDonald had a farm" to the enthralled members of the NSW TRG.... Oh for less civilised times.....

Flagons of petrol for the BBQ anyone????
