Well what can I say , possibly the best mini meet since it was big back in the times of the high rollers series ,Chris and the boys from 50% put in a amazing effort and provided a seriously organised and conducted event , the track was prime and the night races under lights stepped it up one extra notch.
There were crews from all over Australia coming together for the same single pleasure of racing kids bikes with attitude
It was one oft he biggest turnouts iv ever seek with around 8 classes jam packed on the gates with heats in 10 & 12 am classes
The Newy boys came to prove a point and really shined in the stock and 88 classes , they have some serious style and speed and were awesome to watch.
The atmosphere was epic everyone was having a ball and the racing was action packed
And once we started the night section of the event it seemed to only get more intense . Racing under lights was something anyone would have loved and as the night went on the heats got faster , so much so that instead of doing the scheduled 3 rounds under lights we got to do a fourth .
As far as results the newy crew took out the 88 side of things with our vic crew and buzz bikes taking out the 12" to be honest it's all a bit of a blur as their were to many classes to remember all the winners but I'm pleased to say that the overall state winners was VIC followed by SA and NSW took out 3rd.
Buzz Bikes had a great night overall with Jack dominating 12" pro leaving the competition and the crowd astounded , Chris JNr Bedford was pushing hard all day and took out 2nd overall in 12" AM and the cripple himself STYVo came out of retirement after lots of persuading we got him in some boots and back in the saddle , He and Chris had some great battles through the night but styv just got him and got the 1st place for 12" AM
I think Chris also got a 3rd overall in 10" am . I myself did 10"am on my 12/10 88 and got some good starts and even at one point got into 2nd place
but binned it trying to be a big shot hehe
Overall everyone did really well and out very own Brendo who also made a big effort to get down also gave it a good crack on his BBR... It was his first time on a track like that and the first time he finally got to ride his BBR so maybe the nerves got the better of him , I don't have that excuse I just slow hehe
Karl came from QLD and I gave him the stocka so he could compete in the stock 50 and limo class which once he got the feel for my bike he started putting down some decent laps
not bad at all ya fossil
Our boys Timeeh and Shearer made another great addition to a great event I always have a ball with them especially Timbob
Toeball was reckless crazy fast as usual taking out some silverware too he was running well in all the classes he took part in
The cini boys also did well even if the track wasn't to there favour
Joel .... Your a bloody legend .... A meanie but a legend
we went for the same line off a jump ... I lost out and rag dolled but you stopped mid race to give me a chance to catch up lol only in mini racing would you get that
I could seriously go on for hours about this weekend but I got about 2 hours sleep both nights and can't read what I'm writing ATM
every time we say we're going to take it easy we end up having a ball till 4:30 am on the eve of races
I guess it's the atmosphere camping at a track with mates from all over that eggs us on , either that or were just silly
Anyway I'm sure there is more to tell but I'm out for now , big massive thanks again to Chriso for giving us a definite weekend to remember bad big ups to everyone who came and made it what it was , the footage will come through in the next few days but here's a few pics before the action started in the best frign racing and fun iv been a part of to date
I forgot to tell you all we Also got a special extra after racing was finished and when we thought it was relax time I asked maybe if we could have a little ride ... Chris contemplated it had before to long there was about 15 of us out there again for giggles having a ball on the track under lights near on midnight
was hectic as there were people on every class of bike out at the same time but I loved every bit of it
Buzz bikes and Sinister 50 's baby yeeeew
Or is that sinister fisties ? Styv?
