Looks pretty sweet. Like the step-up. Just one question, where's the start hill? Maybe Gary could give me a push.

Roystons a good little track, I've been racing there for over 23 years now. :daumenhoch:

The start hill is pretty big, so you aint goinng to need a push.

Be warned it's much longer than you think it is, after the first two straights it get very wiggley and makes your legs burn and lungs want to pop out. Put Burns Road Royston into Google maps and you get a superb satalite view of it and you'll see what I'm tralking about.

Dead easy to find from Kent/Essex area.  M11 to Duxford Air Museum turn off.  Left at top of slip in front of museum.  About 8 miles on cross first roundabout and turn left at next one.  There's a roundabout opposite Tescos where you turn left after about 300yds.  Track is on right by miniroundabout.  Entrance is tight left about 20yds along - swing out if you're in a long vehicle to clear the gatepost.  Enjoy.  Humps
