I reckon I'm onto something here
SuperBowl ~ Timed section
Moto track to Butterfly ~Not timed
Butterfly ~ Timed section
Need a third flowy trail close by maybe the exterra running track that has some down hilly sections

No Dean. My skills are too great and I was forced to retire and let lesser riders have a chance  |

A two day event:
Day 1 could be an avalanche style, chinese DH event down McPhails Firetral over in KV.
DAY 2:
Stage 1: Superbowl stage will need some work to open it up a little and improve the flow,maybe even add some fun obstacles. But this section has been used a few years ago for a State round GE by NSWMTB (not sure exact date but it was before I moved down here in MAY 2012, Josh Carlosn won it from memory!)
Link to Butterfly could either be, as you say, the SUPERFLY link or a smarter link would be untimed climb to Butterfly Rd to rendezvous with a possible second timed decent or pedal the whole way to Butterfly for Stage 2. (Not unheard of to have a solid pedal distance between stages).
Stage 2: Butterfly is almost prime, as is right now. Flowy enough and plenty of "push/pull" sections.
Easy enough climb back to Butterfly Rd and to Stage 3
Stage 3: "Alive&Kicking" and "Drop&Stomp" with a small extension on the end to give it some burl.
Combine all the times, pop some beers and crown a podium!
----Timing is THE stumbling block ----
BUT if someone was to put this to either Chocolate Foot or Rocky Trail Entertainment (RT already has 2yrs of multi stage timing events) then this could get off ground. XC timing wont cut it, no loops being completed. Standard DH timing cant handle multiple start and finish gates. Chip timing with start/finish docking stations work the best.

Rode up Wandean Rd last weekend and there is some good spots for this down there.
Might need some exploring in the future.

After riding butterfly today i was thinking if you ran the first part backward from where it comes out on butterfly rd to around the little pallet bridge crossing and then made a small trail to join that flowy section before that bridge that could be a great timed section and then ran the second half of butterfly as a timed section you pretty much have your three tracks including Super Bowl obviously there would be some tweeking to which section would be used but I think that would work well
