Then Paul called and said he was thinking of going as well and he came over to pick up Philip and myself. One hour later we were at the former F1 track which had been invaded by 1400 BMX racers and their parents plus fans. With one round happening on Saturday and one on Sunday it was BMX racing all day long. We checked the
