This was in the Otago Daily Times today, it would be pretty cool if we got a round held down here.

That would be awesome, but I'd be dubious about the weather holding up down there and also the bits I've seen of the track aren't world cup level, it'd have to be upgraded severely!

yes, some bits would need fixxing up but its the best track I've even ridden! I reckon its cool and it would be awsome if they did get to hold a world cup.

What about transport for the DH?
No chairlift... would riders at the level really want to be shuttled up and down in buses or vans?
A chairlift would be hugely expensive, and probably hard to make financially viable... or is it???

Sounds awesome! I'm sure the racers wouldn't be too precious to ride up the hill in trucks....

Good luck getting our city council to do that, altho if it comes up my dad might end up drawing the plans for the chairlfit. but the dcc are annoying alot of the time
