Track n Trail Summer dates
By TMX Archives on 12th Jun 09
TRACK n Trail has announced details of its Husqvarna-supported Summer Hare and Hound Series. The club will be re-visiting some of its most popular venues, as well as working hard to launch a new venue in August. It is looking forward to taking riders back to Norden in October, but only if weather conditions are drier than last year those who attended that event will know why!
Incidentally, the Two Valleys venue and all other venues included in the Summer Series have had extensive grading work carried out over the last nine-months so riders can look forward to some smooth and flowing courses.
The Summer Series also offers youth riders the opportunity to win part of the biggest prize fund in the country, with over £4,000 worth of prizes on offer. The prizes include four full FMF two-stroke exhaust systems from Rush Racing, four pairs of Alpinestars Tech 7 boots, coaching days with Daryl Bolter and four UFO Enduro Jackets courtesy of MD Racing. In addition top placings can also earn a set of tyres of the winner's choice from Mitcheldever Tyres and there are also Putoline Action Packs up for grabs.
The series will have trophies down to six place in the nine adult classes and four youth classes.
TnT is also aiming to reintroduce its Track Days this summer and will kicking off its summer activities with such an event on Saturday, June 20, at Two Valleys. For competitive riders it is a chance to practice enduro skills and make adjustments to bike set-up before the race the following day. Each session during the day will include optional special tests for which times will be published and a trophy awarded for the day's fastest time.
For Trail and Novice riders, the Track Day offers a unique opportunity to experience the excitement of a cross-country course without the pressure of race day. Easy and hard routes ensure the course is negotiable by all. There will also be the chance to join in with the special test.
The Track Day adult and youth and the sessions will be as follows:– Adults 12pm to 2pm and 4pm to 6pm. Youth 2pm to 4pm.
