June 26, 200521 yr Did any of you guys get down there it was a good show. And the guys at my club did a good job of showing what trials is all about James
June 27, 200521 yr Rode the Bonanza Trial this weekend, not enough summer weekends in a year. Bonanza & the Goodwood Festival of Speed as well as Beaulieu Motorcycle World all good events & on the same weekend.
June 27, 200521 yr How did the Bonanza trial go? Have seen the scramble last 3 years but never seen the trial. Lots of bikes covered in mud. Must watch next year. Pete.
June 28, 200521 yr Good weekends sport and lots of interest, on Saturday the Five Nations trial goes off on the road after some sections at Sallywood Park, Bonanza trial is all at Sallywood Park then in the evening there is the grasstrack solos, sidecars & quad racing (39 races in all I think) and the Scramble on Sunday. The Bonanza trial according to the regs. should have been 3 laps of 15 sections but was 3 laps of 12 sections instead. Some of these especially those at the bottom of the hill behind the wire fence were well worn knee deep in mud and not very popular with the riders. There did seem less entries in this trial than previous events and quite a few riders were struggling with the muddy sections so maybe a rethink is due for next time with hopefully additional sections on the banks to replace those in the bottom, this would benefit the spectators who would then get a much better view. But on the whole a credit to the organisers who must put in a tremendous amount of work on this event.
