The Farm

[Nickati]

Has anyone been ?

I'm booked in on the 20th for an advanced rider day.

Looking foward to it but haven't been there before.

It looks frikkin awesome. It's like the old road, but one way sealed of for bikes, up near mt white. I would do it if I could. But last time I checked they have noise requirements that may prohibit many of us from participating on paper (<95dB)  Not sure how active they are at policing it.

I have only heard good things about it though!

The stay upright courses have dB restrictions too.  Didn't notice anyone checking when I went to Broadford.

Yeah, but The Farm is some guys backyard and he has built a racetrack in it (or something). I dunno much more than what i read here:

My understanding was ... yes, it is.

Gentle pressure has been applied in the past ... all to no avail

The first rule of Farm Club is you don't talk about Farm Club.

I'll be very interested in your feedback on the day.  The rider days are quite expensive, but I'm told that they're head & shoulders above what you get elsewhere. I understand you get tuition if you want it, and they throw on a BBQ as well. Top that off with a track that was designed for a fellow with too much money and a Mclaren (but nowhere to legally drive it) and it's said to be a fantastic experience.

Please post up your impressions of the day, plus any photos that you manage to snap (including of the pit area).

Have fun!

I'll see what I can do !
