A really short, fast course on closed roads, with lots of corners. Limited laps or time limit, say 1/2 an hour, then bell goes, 2 laps to finish.
Known for their carnage, exciting racing, and carnage. Short and sweet, and flat, so good for the sprinters, and mountainbikers...

Nah, we can use a couple of pretty cool circuits. Remember, you only need one closed industrial park, or circuit.
Alternatively, we could have a dirt crit. Basically a short course XC, but a bit more interesting if it stays together...

This.. sounds... interesting! 
Keep us posted on how technical that XC/DH's gonna be. That'll be my main factor for whether I'll bother flying up for it

Do you mean dh at long gully? could have both there but would take away the home turf advantage for most of us as its a bit more epic to get there...

Actually, I'm thinking for the DH we'll need a course that can be ridden by all. WIll try and find one that's got some good chicken lines etc. XC either Makara, or possibly Mt Vic, on the worlds course or similar.
