Today, Sunday Danang the driver and I went to watch the Suzuki one-make series. This round was being held at the Prk Circuit in Kenjarang Surabaya. This is north east of where we live right on the coast opposite Madura.
The park itself is a bit rundown but bosts a hotel with the remains of an old Dakota aircraft on the roof, a dirt horse race track, indoor football areas, and the motorbike track inside the horse track.

The makeshift paddock in the centre of the track
The racing was for different classes of modified Suzuki roadbikes, 100cc, 110cc, 125cc etc. The track is quite twisty and technical and the surface looks good with some interesting camber changes.
The crowd watching from one of the awnings. These are all around the track to provide some shade.
The facilities are basic, but a lot of people had turned out to watch. The racing was quite exciting. The thrills and spills were increased by a heavy rain shower which fell during one race, and left the track wet but drying for the next two. The fields were fairly small about ten riders a race, but the races followed on quickly.
The first corner
At lunch we were entertained by trick riding from a team of guys on the same range of Suzuki bikes as we were watching racing. We also had a marching band go around the track. All in all an entertaining day.
