Was a really good meet, the track looked A Grade and the atmosphere was great, a massive effort by the interstate guys who came as far as Qld to be a part of what looks to be a massive part of our scene. Chris, his family and all involved have done a really amazing job in a very short time, they are all dedicated to the mini scene and creating a great environment for us to play , we all need to support him in what he is doing as he is funding this whole thing basically for the love of the sport and community.
And they love their 50's too
We turned up at the track at about 11 Friday night and the interstate Boys, Styv, Toey and Chris were already setup and sitting around the fire, Shame we didn't get there a bit earlier as after a massive drive most were ready for bed, usually we have a few laughs and beers the night before and finish up at a reasonable hour but in true style our bunch continued around the fire long into the night , I crashed just after 3 while the rest stayed up a couple more hours only to have to get up to race 2 hours later ... Lets just say we were all a bit seedy ..
Practice was not long after we awoke and the boys weren't feeling the best on the bike , Chris , normally straight into the action needed a few spew breaks during the morning lol but throughout the day found his rythm and even with a few spills still pushed through most of the day and still got some bling for the day top effort jnr
, O n jack hilli had a ripper day absolutely owning the triple on his 12" was great to watch
Styv had a little crack in stock 50's before his still broken leg and throbbing head asked him to stop , Greg too had a crack but the night before had the first punch and he pulled up. Matty somehow pulled through the day on his midsize and if it wasn't for a rear axle problem and dnf would have taken out 12" am, he rode really well all day battling with Phill who snatched up 1st for the 12"am good stuff boys
Toey was his usual reckless self killing it , he too was feeling the burn from the night before and was a bit dusty but still had a good day out until he snapped his frame ..
I barley made it through practice with my stocker bogging out ( as well as my Brain) wasn't feeling good at all , jumped off the stocker , onto the 160 and went out for practice on that , felt even worse , nek minute - T Boned lol Nick decided he didn't like me anymore lol crossed up and as I was minding my own business high on a burm all I see is this bloke coming straight through the corner lol I thought I was dead , he hit the bike so hard the impact sent me flying over the berm" ...
Again
lol ". The bike was still on the track n I was over the other side lol I stood up waited for pain and there was none lol thought sweet I'm alive
got back on n after nick stopped looking for me lol but I took it as a sign to pull up for the day too, I did a couple motos through the day on my mod and stocka but I really wasn't ok to ride either instead just enjoyed watching the rest battle it out , kinda dirty on myself for getn messy and missing out on so much racing , I had a lot of help from Buzz , STyv and Toey to get ready and hardly rode..
Still happy to finally have the triplets sorted
It was really sweet to see and meet some more of the family and see them ride , I woke up in the morning looked out my tent window the first thing I see is Beans BBR ,
Jase was smashing laps on his full 5o/zoke 12/10 , love this bike
Brett brought his pride and joy all the way from QLD and was great to see him ride !
Red said he was coming to clean up VIC and he did it in style ,he is really smooth and his riding style was cool to watch really linked up sections and looked comfy
We also got a bit of a fmx demo which was pretty cool to see
All in all it was a really good meet , really good racing with heaps of bikes on each grid , can't wait for the next one , I'm getting membership and will be trying to get out there regularly to ride its a great place and great people
And there ain't nothing better than first corner action on a 50
can't wait for the next meet
