What a weekend of racing at Mtn Ash!! Excellent track, uplift and weather. An hour delay on Saturday which I apologise for. The usual bull*** hassle we get there from the local idiots (logs and rocks in the track etc). Vandalism of my gear plus the theft of my start banner (I mean why? what good is it to anyone?) at the top. The final result marred somewhat for both Rowan and Neil by yet more idiot locals letting there dog get in Rowans way on his last run. Oh well, all normal stuff at Mtn Ash. Still, I hope everyone got in a load of riding and enjoyed the track. We ran the split timing on Sat, but didn't bother on Sun to avoid the possibility of any more delays to racing (good job too when I found some idiot had yanked my aerial cable out of the tree on Sunday morning.
The
Marzocchi 888 forks went to Neil Donoghue. The Marzocchi DJ3 forks went to Rowan
Sorrell. The Tank dual frame went to Shaun Bevan.
Basic results are here, xls files are smaller, but you need Excel installed, htm files should work on any 'puter.
