Quads at Silverstone this weekend(20-3-2011)

[Gadget-Guy]

Will be blowing the cobwebs off my camera and spending a day at Silverstone for the first of the Nora MX races this Sunday.

Entry for spectators is free and there are over 160 riders signed up so far including 2 of my favourites Paul Winrow and Jason Macbeth in the pro class.

Anyone else going?

This is intresting, I was planning to go to Hawkstone park. But I shall have to leave early due to other commitments and its 250 mile round trip so this makes more sense. What is the m/x track like at Silverstone and more important where is it?

Well have not been up there since last year so not to sure if they have done any other work there over winter but access was very good last year and would say you could get to most of the track.

If you follow the signs to Silverstones main entrance it is sign posted from there and is just at the back of the main circuit with plenty of parking.

Found a you tube vid of the track from last year http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fk4NSynLNvo

And here is a link to the photos from my last visit to the MX track.http://www.talkphotography.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?t=256002
