Race Results
Well - given the weather that was a pretty good turnout. Due to the access road being really slippy (the trucks couldn't get up it unless they had enough weight over the back axle), we had to cut the practice short and run only a single race run. In addition, we ended up running 30 second intervals rather than the normal 1 minute because the wind was fairly howling at the top and hypothermia was a distinct possibility.
The track seemed to hold up pretty well - it definitely dried out further down as we had more people come down. The feedback on the course was pretty good too, so we might see a few more events held here in the future.
Thanks to all the racers that turned out, the volunteers that helped out, and the Watson family for providing access.
Race results are now available here
If you've got any questions or comments, please let me know here.
Tar,
Jono

Well the race ment pear shaped for me. My gears were skipping all the way down and I had to stop in my race run to put my chain back on as my stupid e13 guide hates mud and I couldn't pedal most of the track as my chain kept jamming as well 
so its of no suprise that I came dead last. LOL
