there was good racing at carlton bank at the weekend. the track is really good, considering the time taken to built it. its fast but technical with some good jumps.

i didnt have the best of runs but my time wasnt bad. on my first run it was alright but on one corner i got it wrong and stumbled and slowed to an almost stop, got back on track as quick as possible and finished ok, tha gave me a time of 1:34.02. on my second run i had a really clean and fast run, possible the fastest of the weekend until... i wend over a jump, which turned left shard, got it a bit wrong and managed to land heavy into a load of bark or something, got up and de wedged my foot from the back wheel and continued, that gave me a time of 1:40.00. dont know which position i finished in but i know danny hart got a 1:26.??.

the only problem was the way it was ran, they used stop watches, which didnt give a completely accurate time. apart from those small glitches im ready for fort bill...maybe????

i just got that saying from the banner where the race is advertised. the track was good. did you ride it?

wasnt racing but i had a lil ride of one section then got off and rode down the moorland coz it was faster and more difficult

I poped up during sunday just up on motorbike and looked from the road, seemed quite quiet a smallish gathering. From what i could see of the top section, i think i would of prefered the older course, come quite far down now!

What's the bottom section like now?

yeah there wasnt many people there, maybe 30 or 40.

so carlton has had some work done? cool.
will have to check that out. was a cool place about 5 years ago, did a couple of races there. loved the bombhole in the bottom section and the fast top section down the the grave jump.
could never really get all the tight steep corners on the bottom section well.
i overtook a guy the last race i did there.

Sadly it isnt on the tight windy bottom section, it comes off near the 2nd rock garden, im up there this sunday if you wanna join a few of us!

How long is the course now then, time wise? if i remember correctly is was about 2:30'ish when i was racing last.

Erm the corse is about 1 10 pro speed and 1 30 average speed!

still take 45mins to get back up?

Naaa its bout a 5 mins push as the track doesnt go all the way to the bottom of the hill!

it was slower than that, the fastest guy at the race only got 1:18 and he was 2 or 3 seconds faster than the next guy. i got a time of 1:34 but i didnt have a clean run.

Ok, i only know bullhead won with a 1 10
