Pan's MX race in Baan Tawai - 17.12.2016

[MastaMax]

Big race this coming weekend. All the top riders from the country are coming.

Anyone can come and practice during the week. Races are on Sunday.

Track is where the red square is. As soon as you enter Baan Tawai, follow the arrows "Pan's MX".



I'll go practice this Friday if anyone wants to join.

The track was watered every race to try keep the dust down. The track is situated behind a school and is a decent size.

Awesome photos Phil, the proceeds from the race went to the local school for a digital library. There was some great riding there today and to see the little kids giving it their best was impressive.
