SCEC welcome HERO to the team!

The GoPro Motorsports Hero is the smallest lightest wireless digital video camera you can buy. We love 'em! They're waterproof, mudproof and dustproof - in fact they're damn near bomb proof, and after months of playing with our own GoPro we are delighted to welcome HERO aboard as a technical partner for 2008. In addition to Championship series product prizes HERO have provided a full Motorsports Hero package for use at the races. We'll pick a rider at random at the pre-race briefing, attach the Hero cam to the lucky rider's bike or helmet (it only takes a minute) and leave them to it! He or she will get to keep a copy for themselves and the best bits will appear on the web for the world to see - fame and glory is yours for the taking!

Of course if you can't wait to win one you can always buy one - click the logo to visit the Hero website or get down to your local extreme sports dealer.

Hardy's Monument Hare & Hounds Enduro - 27th April

This is an awesome venue, perfect for a traditional forest event - what the marketing boys in Austria might call 'hard enduro'. If you fancy something a bit tougher than the norm this is an event not to be missed!

But this an event for ALL riders of ALL abilities, not just the fast boys.

In the morning we'll have the Championship/Expert/Clubman race, then after lunch a race for the Novice/Sportsman & less experienced Clubman riders, but this will be a race with a difference...

It'll be the very same course, a real enduro course, but here's the thing - if this is the sort of event that would normally terrify you we think you're actually going to love this one. Many of the expert riders from the morning race have agreed to go out onto the course in the afternoon and act as your marshals - but these 'marshals' are actually going to teach you all they know - if you ever wished you could ride in the forest as well as you do when you're tucked up in your bed this is your chance to make it happen.

To get the best out of the day the entry will be limited and entries will be accepted on a strictly first come first served basis - so don't leave it too long, get some dutch courage down ya and click the link below!

The Inside Park...

Andy Frost is off to build a new life in Australia in a few weeks but couldn't resist having one last SCEC race before leaving. He'll be taking happy memories of the magnificent Inside Park venue with him having managed a convincing win there on his borrowed DMC KTM300. K4's Bradley King was the only other rider to match Andy's 12 laps. Sideways KTM rider Mark Cornick lead the early part of the race but being forced to stop to repair a damaged clutch perch put him out of contention - in spite of a valiant attempt to make up the lost time in the end he had to settle for 3rd place.
