Round 3 of the Irish NPS will be held at Clashnacrona Woods just outside Dunmanway in Co. Cork this weekend 3/4 May.
Riders will be treated to a brand new track, which should take the fastest riders over 2 minutes! The course will be starting at the very top of the hill, where riders will get a very nice fast open section that is littered with double jumps, ski jumps and a step up! You then hit a left hand berm at about 30mph before braking hard and dropping right into the woods. This section is very steep, with some nice banked turns, roots and rocks. As riders make there way down the course they will have to negotiate some ticky off camber, lots of roots, rocks, drops, berms with very little pedalling! There are no silly gaps, this is just a proper fast technical DH course, that will test the best riders!
We have cleared a lot of parking spaces either side of the fireroad as you drive in from the main entrance. Please park responsibly and keep it tight! We are hoping to have everyone parking at the bottom of the track close to the finish, catering, first aid, podium, sign on etc. This will also help with the speed of the uplifts. This will also create a better atmosphere for the weekend. Camper vans will be catered for as well.
This event will have live timing, NACC events are travelling from the UK to look after the event.
Sign on will be open from 8.30 on Saturday and will be closed at 9.30am on Sunday.
Practice on Saturday 10.00 to 1.00 and 2.00 to 5.00.
Practice on Sunday 9.00 to 11.00.
Race starts at 12.00.
Entry fee, all Senior riders 50 euro and underage riders 35 euro. One day licences will be available.
We look forward to seeing everyone in Cork, for what promises to be a great weekends racing!
Cheers
Rory
