Cheers for the info, we've never ridden Elvetham or Pale Lane, but from pics I've seen it looks like decent sandy-ish ground. Heard good things about SMX, and havent they got a 500 class?!! Ours is ran in good and proper now!

Heres a vid from Nympsfield on weds, 2nd time out on it:

Yes it is sandy type of ground and should hold up ok in the wet as it's not deep sand....I think there may be a 500 class on Sunday which means you will get an extra ride. A fair amount of practice, a heat to decide A B C in three open races and the 500 race most likely combined with another class. Good video,.Love the bike......Nympsfield looks good too,I rode there years ago, actually it was the day before Ady was born now I come to think of it......Eileen, his mum, was with us and I remember the lights on the van went out on the way home while we were doing about 60 on a country lane. I wonder if thats why Ady's such a lunatic when he's driving?

Haha! I'm pretty sure the track you woulda rode would be the same one my old man did in the 70/80's, this ones about half a mile down the road to the old track. Its not a bad track though.

Quite looking forward to monday then, should be good!
