Hi everyone, just a reminder regarding Tech Inspection for the upcoming Townsville event.
Tech Inspection will be at Ado's shop, between 2:00pm and 7:30pm on Friday May 1st, after which a "Riders Meeting" will be held. For those arriving late on Friday night/Saturday morning, a secondary inspection will be held at the bottom carpark/staging area at Mt Stuart at 6:00am Saturday morning. For those arriving mid-morning, I'll make myself available to you when you get to Mt Stuart, just look for the Tech area and we'll get you underway.
The Tech Inspection will be following the IGSA Rulebook, and will be more stringent than Newton's. Helmets/straps, shoes, leathers and equipment will all be inspected. This is to give you all a practice run for the World Championships at Bathurst in Nevember, so you know what to expect.
Make sure you are up to date with lengths, weights, heights and ALL safety issues regarding the rules.

The SGS course is being set and tested Friday afternoon, so we ask all riders to please stay off the mountain at this time so as to give the officials plenty of time and room to set a great course.
Any riders who ride Mt Stuart prior to Saturday or Sunday will not be able to take part in the weekends riding.
If you have any questions, please contact me and I'll answer any queries you have.
Looking forward to a greay weekend.
Cheers.
