New View of Acusa Park

[gasgasman280]

Was at the Levis Pony Express on the weekend a ripped off a pic of the Dirt Track while I was up the hill. Funny I've been up the hill heaps of times but never bothered to seriously look at the dirt track.

The dogleg in the backstraight def looks tighter than when u are actually riding it.

Yep and that stupid hairpin at the top is still as freakin stupid.

Why for the love of god do they not wake up to the fact they are cutting it further and further in. It will need a bernm there soon if it gets any tighter.

Also by the look of the picture it now has a dolimite base ? has it been resurfaced NO more freakin rocks and boulders on it finally ...............

Intersting foto Stevo, thing that also note is the elevation it has a fair rise from top to bottom, that top section never looked so high up the hill.

your a busy man roaming around the venue like that

Marshy.......I take it u like this track.........

This dirt track is awesome....insane speeds up the main straight ;D ;D ;D. Major silly grin factor. ;D ;D ;D

Ur only problem with this track is ur elbows are alway down....dragging in the dirt.

Major league works are happening at Acusa Park. No 1 MX track had some serious reno work and mods last year and looks like its getting some more going by what I saw on sunday. There was an absolute sh1tload of new hi qual fill ready to go onto the No2 MX track too...so it looks like its going to get some much needed work too. Facilities at the tracks have finally got some much needed attention too. Acusa Park was in limbo for a while and nothing was done only becoz some DHs wanted to sell the joint to fund a WHITE ELEPHANT called Granite Ridge.
Fortunately now Acusa Park is all go and looking pretty sweet.
....And its only 10mins from my house ;D

i was mainly there to take some pics of the Levis Pony Express(mudfest)

NOpe cant say i do, full bore up a 200m main straight to a brake back dead stop reversing hairpin, not what id call a dirt track.

And those Forksen rock that were getting chucked uplast year, took chunks out of my YZ fork ( tore the gold anidise off) chipped and cracked my helmet. That joint was being left to the Goats. grad to see there is some work going on .... as for the White elephant... well that MASA for you. Be lucky if they even get there money back on it if they sell it.

The good news is more work has gone into Acusa Park in the last 18months or so than ever been seen before. Its great facility that has something for everybody with a dirt bike...even MotoTrials riders.

And the Aust SidecarX are bringing one of their awesome rounds to the track on Oct 24 in combination with the Historic Scrambles Champs.

If thats happening ...then ur starts r sh1t!

Granite Ridge is totally screwed...the place is riddled with broomrape ..........not even taking into account that it is all nothing but crap flat sand country.

They are lucky that Tailem Bend Motosport Park came up at the right time. Going there on the weekend to check out Gawler MCC 1st Round of their excellent Pony Express Series thats attracting huge entry fields.
