Pooraka Track extensions on it's way

The Pooraka boys have been busy the last week and a half doing some running repairs to the track and also the eagerly awaited track extensions I took a little time out today seing that nothing had been posted about these extensions to take a few photos to give people an idea of the track layout and that things are happening.
I think the layout looks good it gives us riders 4 different ways of racing the track which can really make things interesting for people to set up their bikes to run the shorter track and also the longer track with the long straight which runs straight off the current straight, no slowing down in this section just flat out from one straight to another with a slight bend, a little like the big straight and the brabham straight at the clipsal 500, I think it will make for much more interesting racing. And will not just be the skilled rider that will dominate, it will also be the knowledge of the rider to set their bike up to be able to race in all directions with very little change which will show the realy skilled riders.
The boys are still tossing up wether to place road base down or concrete. Not sure which way they will go yet. They might ask the riders who turn up to the next race meet what their thoughts are. I just hope that the final decision is decided on safety rather than expense. Either way the guys have done a great job at getting things looking better at the track.
Well done boys continue the good work.
I have placed some links of the photos I took of the extensions that I could take it was wet and muddy so I just took the photo's I could.

cement is only slipery when you smooth it out if you ruffenit up is grips just like
bitumen exept it wares your tyres quicker and puts a pigger hole in your ass when you come off.
i like the new track it looks like fun and a bigger straight.

Bitumen and the water drains off, it doesnt create a layer of water over the whole track like pooraka.
