Back on "old" track
« on: August 23, 2010, 07:58:39 AM »
Now when I have started to to use my KX500, I decided to visit my old track. I first raced there back in 1977.. But at that time it was 50cc bikes. Last time I was here was in 1989 I think. The track is hosted by the Geting MK in the south west of Sweden.
The main route of the track was still the same but many improvemants was done..
Really fun to be there again. Here is some photo.

them pine trees looked a little to close to the track for my liking,you wouldnt want to over shoot the corner or get squeezed off it during a race..but the track looked nice and loamy(good for get offs).fully sick track.?.peter.

Agree.. There is not so much "extra" space available.. But a fun track to practice on any how. Avoiding trees..   :-D
