RiverInTheRoad Posted March 16, 2023 Share Cool, great time of year to race Jonkers. Wonder what the change will be. Quite sure they will include Firehut and hopefully do proper top to bottoms again. My completely uninformed route guess: Armageddon 8 to gate via Oom Hansie DH track top to bottom Plumber top to bottom Firehut 3 to bottom MORNE and Jako De Wet 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They could even mix trails going by the recent love of flat sprinty bits halfway through a stage. Contour start, do like a level, spint sideways to the start of another. Dont get me wrong, I certainly hope not, but it’s 100% possible to do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can accept that at SA champs it is worth doing, but history shows that a day involving 4 top to bottom stages takes all day. Like timers leave at 7am and close the last stage at 4pm. I don't think it's a 'fun' day for most of the field and IMHO a bit unnecessary Eddy Gordo, khz and Jako De Wet 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We’ve had two in a row now where ‘sideways sprinting’ was a thing 😅. The organisers seem fine with it so far. Hoping jonkers is a ‘conventional’ one too. But in the end…it will be what it is and it will be the same for everybody. Edited March 17, 2023 by MORNE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
