    Here's a few aerial pics of the track.

    It doesn't really show the elevation changes, and the dirt section is hard to see, but ya get the idea.

    Re: Batavia

    How the heck do you go from riding that to something as small as Stop 48. I saw stop 48 the other day as I was in the area and it looks like a hole in the ground.

    It used to be a go cart track right ? (stop 4

    Re: Batavia

    The supermoto thing at stop 48 is pretty much done now.

    The new owners could not get liability insurance to allow the supermoto bikes to run the(small) dirt section in the infield, so now you're stuck with the 15 second lap of the asphalt only.

    Its a bit of a waste to drive that distance for a 15 second lap

    Its a waste of a drive to run both the track and dirt if you ask me... i'd soon drive to Batavia then Stop 48

    Considering From Hamilton that Batavia is closer than Stop48, The decision is easy.

    Batavia is much much better. Worth the hassle at the border.

    2 weeks ago it was 100% chance of rain at 7am when I left.

    it was sunny and hot until 2pm.

    besides, the bikes slide better in the rain.


    And you're not NEARLY sweet enough to melt.
