QP @ Noonday Creek Park Atlanta

[QuadPaul]

Finally got round to downloading the pics off my camera - only taken 3 months. The race was on the 13th Oct

The track reminded me of braintree, just a lot sunnier 

My lid nearly didn't make it, as the Lady on the check in desk wouldn't let me carry that and my Laptop on the plan, but after a heated discussion I was told to take it to security and see what happened!! Got there and security didn't even bat an eye lid, sailed straight through!!!

My Wheels for the week


Check out the ABA tour bus that arrived for a club meet  :o - Change you imagine the BCF turning up at a daggers club meet with something like this. 


The Track
1st & 2nd Straights

3rd & 4th Straights


The Racing

















The results didn't go so great I got a 4th, 2nd & 2nd in the moto's but because of the ABA transfer system didn't make it to the final, but I was in there mixing it with 25+ plus intermediates - of which most where team sponsored riders, so had a blinding day!!!

Cool pics Paul.  Looks like a nice track too.  I'd love to do some races in America.  Maybe this year if I don't manage to see the Olympics, or 2009 definitely.

How does the transfer points system work?

How did the Chevy HHT drive?

[QuadPaul]

They were a really friendly bunch so if you ever get a chance I'd say go for it. (They didn't even get the ump when I started ribbing them about devils pedals  )
I was like the novelty, got bigged up over the tanoy and had kids coming to talk to me to here my funny ACCENT -  I WAS LIKE THE FREAK SHOW but in a nice way 

The transfer system is wierd, and it depends on how many people are in the class, but basically if there are 4 people in a class for example - The winner of each moto goes direct to the Final, so finally in moto 3 you are left with 2 people in a run off for 1 place in the final. So not everyone gets a final.
I personally didn't like the system, and surely it's about getting laps in racing. But if you win your 1st moto you get 2 laps racing that's it, surely that's not what BMX is all about

The HHT drove OK but it was dull as dishwater & cheap plastic everywhere inside!!

Transfer systems sounds good for people who only care about winning.  How boring it must be going to a meeting and just racing 1 moto and going straight to the final!  I think if I was winning Moto 1 or Moto 2 (OK, pigs might fly), I would finish second on purpose so I could race again.

Our South Region system where everybody gets a final/more track time is better.
