EC Changes (Turn 4-9)

Post by ducati_paul »

I see Nearmap has updated so thought I'd post this up for those that haven't been to the creek lately

Here is Turn 4 on the 14th of May

and here it is on the 17th of Sep

The brown strip you see up through the corner is the top of a concrete wall with tyres either side of it

Massive run off area on T4 and T9 at least... Not too keen on riding the shorter track though.

I was there last weekend having a look it sure catches your attention as you come over the hill and look down the hill towards 4.

Does the fact the runoff is concrete make it any better or worse than grass/gravel like the rest of the track?

Ha, juts had a look on google maps of the creek - it must be a bike testing day, you can see bikes on the track but hardly any cars or traliers in the carpark :D

I can understand the installation of a wall, but the loss of grass/litter doesn't compute as you bounce across concrete instead of having speed burned off with the litter/grass. And if the only thing in your path is a couple rows of tires, it ain't going to freaking tickle if/when you hit it.
