Cheers Adam, fair point. I spose it's the first chance most will get to stretch their legs. I've only raced there once, which was in fact my first ever race 2yrs back. Was in Dynamo colours at the time and got taken out as we entered the final straight, so it doesn't hold good memories for me.. I think a few ACC went down too.
I do really like the handicap format though so will see how I feel at the weekend. Will be the end of a hard 3 week block and am already feeling a little jaded <get's his excuses in early>
