Me and a couple friends will be there. This will be the first time I've raced at this track, anybody remember how the coarse is? Hills, watercrossings, fields? Oh and has it been raining there all week? See you there:cool:

The New Hope race is a Hare Scramble that is part of the Mid South Winter Series. It is being hosted by NATRA. Here are a couple of links http://natra.dirtrider.net or http://msws.org. Sorry but I don't have any info on the track itself.

Course info

I rode the Hare Scramble they had there back in June and can tell you what I remember about the course.
The terrain is mostly flat with almost no change in elevation and no hillclimbs. No water crossings except on bridges. It is on a sod farm so there is a couple of grass track sections to run across and the start is on one of them. There is a rock garden section a mile or so long that can be tricky and real slippery if they get any rain right before the race. This is where most of the wrecks were. Some one line tight sections but most areas had alternate lines for passing.
This is a fun course even if it's a little short at around 7 mi.

Your track description was dead on:)

It was a 9 mile course that had a bit of everything, single track, fire rodes, rocks and roots. NETRA put on a good race. The woods were well marked and they had workers at every section that was questionable as to which way to go.
We had a great time and look foreword to next year. Did anyone else race this event? How did you do?
