    i live in the states and hear that you are planning a super D series, true ? alot of my freinds would be very interested in coming over for those if thats the case, any info ?

  4. Scott Says:

    Yes, there will be a Super D series this fall. So far I know that the finals will probably be in Port Alberni at the “fear factor DH” close to Halloween.
    I will be putting on a Super D timed event in Victoria (Hartland) date TBD.
    I have also hear talk of a race in Courtenay, maybe Nanaimo and Mt. Washington.
    With the Spring series now finished we will have more time to get things rolling for the fall.
