i love a great debate lol keep em coming, but i really think that only having one event up there a year is a waste of road, so that is why some1 in a club, ( even sau since we are discussing it) maybe should contact the coucil and even enquire about using the road for an event, see what is the criterior for actually using the road, since they have now closed it off.
but like they say, u never know if u dont try.....
