The Shack Attack 6 Hour

[fenz]

I just wanted to thank Dunc and Dave and all the volunteers and helpers for a great fun race at the weekend.
As I have said on another thread a few months ago the local race organizers and club set up is fundamental to all of us who race our bikes in this area. Most big promoters with big price entries will only be around as long as they are making enough money. Our local race organizers and club hopefully be around far longer to provide us all with the opportunity to race in great events like the Shack Attack at the weekend.
Thanks again guys and girls for a great race, my legs are still stinging from it ;D

Shack Attack

The team that brought you the Shack Attack 6hr had thought of everything. With overnight camping, the Tour live, there was plenty of parking close to the track. There was also loads of track to set-up near transition, transition was the hub of the event with a coffee van and hot food all day, especially appreciated with the cool weather. Rego was a snap, just a simple sign on as most entries were carried out online.

There were giveaways before the race even started and by all accounts these giveaways carried on throughout the day. All the riders headed from the rider briefing to the race start, like last year the start was bi-directional, with the solo riders heading north along the fire-trail and shortcutting the first section of single-track. It might have been a bit confusing for a small number of riders for a couple of moments but then there were six hours to sort it out.

The track was a mix of familiar, the fast single-track that Coondoo is well know for and open fire-trail to link the different sections. A few sections were reused from last years Enduro, twisting grassed trail and rock gardens. Then there was the new sections, which included a few challenging log roll-overs, a rock garden and a small amount of bar end trimming trees.

Thanks to Duncan, Dave and all the SCUM team (that's all the helpers and timing too) for another great event without overzealous commentary
