MX Practice Track near Whimple

Big T · Expert

I've been up to have a look, but I didn't have a bike at the time so haven't ridden it yet. I believe it's around a mile long, with some bumps and berms. There were a few up there at the time. I think there's a limit of 10 or 12 at a time.

Hoping to try it out when things dry out a bit (it's very handy for me!)

Pearcy · Expert

I think this place could be great - small amount of money, you get to ride as fast as you like with out upsetting anyone!! and everyone going in the same direction, no walkers, no horses.

Face it, our lovely lanes are for exploring and enjoying - you want to go nuts, go here!!

Let me know if anyone has a day planned in for doing this - I am happy to be the entertainment

Yes, Heading from Exeter you can see it on the left over the layby before you start climbing the hill to the Ottery turning

v2 · Novice

i think you can block book it,mike at ripping moto,s used to so he could have a demo day for his gassers

wackyracer · Powermonger!!

maybe this could be a motley crew event?

keep hoops in the loop and advertise for 10 riders after all he's our official personage on things like this!
or just check to make sure nothing is conflicting to his schedule of events..

i like pearcy's posting on the facts!

muddykris · Clubman B

Certainly count myself and Alan (not on the Forum, but TRF anyway) in. He took his BSA 440 up there last year which is why I went up. Managed a couple of laps before it died!

If we're about, I'm sure we'd both be keen. I could walk home from there!

Big T · Expert

I've just left a message asking them to call me to discuss the possibility of an exclusive TRF session - will update you when I hear back.

doug9270 · Powermonger!!

Just the job, keep up the good work biggrin

TTR · Powermonger!!

Is this it? North of the A30 and west of Honiton.

doug9270 · Powermonger!!

Yes, and its as flat as a witches t*t but ok to let off some steam !

v2 · Novice

it has got a couple of table tops and a couple of small kicker jumps thrown in twas good fun last time i went

jt · Powermonger!!

Just had to get my 14 yr old boy to translate that last post for me......he said 'cool'.

Therefore I conclude that the 'tabletops' and 'kicker jumps' are good things then confuse

I'm beginning to feel old now that I don't understand such things yawn

Good question! I'm picking the wheels up tomorrow, the only thing holding me up is two gearbox bearings, the frame is together, so it could be substantially complete in a few weeks.

Dan

ricsmiff · Sportsman

So, Is somebody going to step up to the plate and organise something........

Not heard back yet, but will chase it up. I understand they don't open it when too wet anyway, so it won't be in the next week or so!

Corporal Chaos · Clubman B

Yes Please. I wouldn't mind having a go if were gonna do some sort of TRF day .......

doug9270 · Powermonger!!

Thanks Big T, looks like this is your baby then ? welcome to the self help club, more the merrier.

devondan · Champion

OK what happened to this idea then?! The Dartmouth scramble has been cancelled this weekend and I have a YZ and am not afraid to use it! Anyone interested for this weekend if I give them a ring?

Dan

KronreifTrunkenpolzMattighofen · Devon's Best

Yep, 100% up for this, but can't do Saturday!

delvey91 · Devon's Best

Cant do it this weekend off to ORE events at garlands moor.

phil400 · Clubman A

i'm sure i could get out there this weekend biggrin

jacks · Expert

C90 nick went up there the weekend before last to ride his yz125, not much back tyre left at the end of it. very dusty and hard pack, but he came home hot and happy. Last weekend he went to Rockets at Henstridge Airfield near Wincanton, same rear tyre, even less left on it now!!!

devondan · Champion

I'll see if I can ring tomorrow and see if its a goer on Sunday. I know Henstridge I used to go to school near there, that must be a flat track?

Dan

jacks · Expert

Yes flat, but he's moved a lot of earth around so its pretty jumpy if I remember rightly. Not too far to go though, but different format to whimple, with novice, mid, and expert going out in groups, to separate the abilities, so you dont get an expert flying over your head as you roll over a jump.

Big T · Expert

I'd have a go on Sunday, please!

doug9270 · Powermonger!!

Count me dan if you have any luck !

phil400 · Clubman A

good news.......can do either day smile

KronreifTrunkenpolzMattighofen · Devon's Best

wifey has informed me that I can do Saturday or Sunday afternoon - if that helps?

devondan · Champion

Only just got back from work, I promise will phone first thing and see how many (if any!) can use the track on Sunday PM and post by lunchtime.

Dan

danfulford · Clubman B

Is it in use in the week??

he trys hard · Clubman B

no the track is only open on selected weekends through the summer months usually both sat and sun three sesions each day ring up and book in the number of riders if its your first time you need to fill out and sign disclaimer the owner comes down at the start of each session to take money and do the forms if required

10 till 13.00

13.00 till 16.00

16.00 till 19.00 i think
