Hi all,
Just what to see if any of our Southern (and Northern) cousins are making it along to the Conondale classic.
Know it has been a full year already for events and a lot of people only did the trip less than 2 months ago.
Numbers are a little down on what we thought but will still be a strong event
Novelty races were a big hit last year and should be again this year.
Cheers
Shane

next year for me Shano!
-
Shane I would like to go but unfortunately it is just too close to CD for me to make the trip up from Sydney again wrt getting time off work, leave pass etc. Maybe next year.
I hope you have a great meeting and I am looking forward to seeing the pictures. ;D
Cheers

Not to bad went to Doctor yesterday and had xrays done, he doesnt want me to go back to work for another two weeks yet, but it feels quite good, now have a 4inch pin in it, all other injurys are coming along good , so l will see you on the week end.........
-
Shane,what a difference a week makes!Just on 80 riders have pre -entered as of today,looks like we might crack the ton after all :DJust a reminder for those who can make it there is a working party at Green Park on Sat 24th so even if you can spare a small amount of time it would be greatly appreciated.This is really shaping up to be a fantasic event!
-
Yep looking good for so big fields now with that roll up.
2 weeks and counting
-
Well its just about on us.95 riders on the books for an absolute ball tearing weekend at Green Park.The big fella has organized a thorough soaking of the track over the last few days (I dont mean Belly).Nice challenging track with Drunk's and the other side included.See you there!
-
What time are gates opening on Friday.
-
I think they are open all day as they where have people still setting up the track and other things? Know they are now not having a water truck (due today) due to the good overnight rain on Wednesday. So I would say you could roll up anytime?
-
Hey ya fast Honda rider STW996- whats the date for this event ;D ?
Got time to book a few flights ;)
cheers
-
Well it will be next year for you Alison as it is now run and won.
What an event warm as toast duing the night and 25 degree days.
Fantastic track and over 120 riders.
Big fields in most classes with pre 85 250 and Evo open the biggest.
One of our lady friends had a big one on Saturday afternoon so hope she is well.
Brad had a run in with a rock but I will let him tell his Dick Johnson story ???
Just a great event and fun had by all.

we went up for a spectate on sunday and yep, agree with olly, those blokes at the front end of the evo open were great to watch.
-
I was hoping they could add the novelty race to the mx des nations next year-it was a hoot :D
and yes we will have the slidecarts there next time.
-
Yes, I'm spewing I missed it too - bloody work, planning for next year again but.
Who was running well on the older bikes?
How was the novelty race run?
Hope everybody had fun, and I bet it was as cold at night as it always is!

The relaxed atmosphere.

3rd in the relay wth two pre75s in the team.
Bummer I only won two prizes in the raffle ;) One is a voucher from Motorcycle Express for bike transport, PM sent Ribbo.
Well done.

I couldn't agree more about what a great weekend the QVMX club put on. A++++++++++
This was my first VMX ride and is was a blast.

Sitting here doing work catch up , its 4 degrees outside ,it is hard to believe that 2 days ago I was racing and enjoying 25 Degree temps in OZ.
A big big thanks to John, Brad and their families that make the trip for us possible .It was cool to race at connandale again it is such a great circut and excellent venue. Thanks to Qvmx what a brilliant event I will be trying to convince as many Kiwis as possible to do the trip there at least once .
Cheers to all

Great vid! Wish I was there...Definately will be next year!

Video was recorded on a Oregon Scientific ATC2K which I purchased from Aldi about a year ago for $150. Probably cheaper on Ebay now as there are heaps more betterer models. Just fun to watch. Seems much slower than it was on the day though.
Some times you can even hear me muttering and cursing as it is mounted to the mouth guard of the helmet and gives a really good view.
That is my freakish little YZ125J. Not a giant killer but soooo much fun to ride and just keeps coming back for more.
