The track! Practice Day 2

Floods and loads of rain in the desert threatened to be a real problem for the track on race day.
This was around fuel stop 2 and shows the standing water and typical race signage - old car bonnets painted, to make sure riders didn't get lost on the way!
Fortunately, there was no more serious rain before the race start day, and as a bonus it kept the red dust down a bit!

Makes for a challenging ride in all that mud.

Lots of challenges on the tract today!

[Susan Wakely]

Oh my goodness that looks a bit soggy and messy.

Such a fabulous scene!

[Suzanne]

Wonderful!

[Beverley]

What a wonderful view… probably a bonus keeping the dust down

[Joan Robillard]

That could have been messy

[winghong_ho]

Very challenging.

You wouldn't want to get bogged there

[Jacqueline]

Oeps, that’s a lot of water……but a great view

[Mags]

The sky is so amazing over your dirt track!

[Peter Dulis]

Wow- quite the scene

[Brian]

Awesome! Only in outback Australia!

[Kerry McCarthy]

Looks, muddy for sure! I like the wet, red soil in contrast to the pretty clouds and blue sky.

[LManning (Laura)]

It is so open and flat. I like the light on the standing water.

[Christine Sztukowski]

I love how the earth meets the sky, Beautiful

[Dorothy]

Quite a scene, I certainly wouldn’t want to be lost out there!

[Diana]

Hope they won't be slip sliding away! Fabulous capture and scene. You'll have a lot of washing to do when you get home ;-)

[mittens (Marilyn)]

Well captured.

Oh this must make the race more difficult for the bikers

[Renee Salamon]

Wonderful colours - shame about the track

[carol white]

Nicely captured

[Rob Z]

Super image - no wonder the countryside has been looking so green. Lucky it didn't upset the race.

[gloria jones]

Love this photo :)

[Ann H. LeFevre]

It looks so isolated- hard to believe there will be motorcross cyclists racing along there soon.

[Cathy]

Mud track! Makes for new challenges! Hope the racers stay safe!

[Rick]

Cool capture. Would make for an interesting race.

[Kathy]

Glad it stopped raining enough for the race to continue without too much difficulty.

[eDorre]

Wonderful shot. And some beautiful mud
