After you made the drop, then you came into a nice sweeping left turn where you could come out and really open up before the next left turn that made a full 180 degrees. As you come out of the turn there was a step up followed by a single and decent straight with a right turn at the end. After the right there was a small set of doubles that wreaked havoc on Tim Farr’s axle in Moto 1. After that double, you come up a steep little hill with a very sharp two level 90 degree turn at the top. That was followed by a nice downhill run with a small single and a straight into the snake section with a 180 left turn. After that turn was a straight to an uphill single that led to another 180 to the right and a downhill drop. There was straight to a 180 left that had a straight behind it. You might now be seeing why I called this the snake. Oh yeah, and were not done with the 180’s yet. At the end of the straight was a double with a single bump and another, you guessed it, 180 to the right. After that turn you had just enough space to get up speed to do the long double.
Then you make a right turn to dazzle the crowd by doing the tabletop that is set directly in front of the stands. As you come off of the tabletop, there is a soft two level turn to the left that takes you in front of the announce booth. This is followed by a small single and then another 180 to the left that takes you down the hill. You pick up speed going down the hill and hit the small single that is at the bottom on the straight. At the end of the straight is an uphill very sharp 180 to the right. The neat thing about this turn is that on the up side it looks like someone got a little wild with the dozer and took a chunk out of the hill before the curve. That’s right, there is a spot where the dirt has been cut back to make a small single on the uphill before this tight turn that leads to a downhill with a straight. After you do the straight you come up a large hill to do the finish line jump and head right back into the sweeping left that got it all started, only this time it is a bit tighter. There is one thing to keep in mind before you start thinking that this doesn’t sound that hard, these pro riders are out there riding their butts off to do this race and they have to race for twenty minutes plus one lap, which worked out to about 12 laps two times per day.
