19/20 Feb... that's what, 3 weeks off? I *might* be able to get the little RM running by then, so that could be one entry in an Under 250cc Classic class. I'll see what I can do, could be fun.

It sure is starting to shape up well. At this stage, I am looking good to be there on the RM125. Hope to get the bike together over the weekend and do some testing the weekend after, so might just make it!!

Hey Elsie, you said camping is available in Canberra, does that mean we can camp at the track.
What is the schedule of events for Saturday, practice & 1 or 2 rounds or just practice?
What time will things kick off?

Your a funny guy Snowy :D, this could be a good opportunity for the 10 buck cup, so the big question is Dennis M riding and how many 250s you looking for to run two classes Pat

Nope, haven't started. It's still spread all over the garage but I hope to get at it this weekend. Hope I can remember how to ride too - have only done about 45 minutes riding since last August and haven't been on a short circuit track since ummm...  2008 0r 9?

Post by: Graeme M on February 14, 2011, 07:33:20 am
I hope there are plenty of entries for this one, it should be  great event to kick off the year. Unfortunately I won't be riding - just ran out of time to get the bike together. These days with things as they are I get very little time to put into bikes and so I still haven't even started on the RM. But I still have high hopes of being able to ride the first club day in April.

Anyway, good luck with the K&Q event. How are entry numbers going so far?

Since forever Alison. I think the speedway boys use thin fronts but not dirt track.

I must say I am disappointed to have missed this one, but there was no way I could get the RM back together and sorted in time. I did manage to grab the time to make a short visit though I didn't get down to the pits. I did however manage to take a bit of video - it's not great cos my super cheap HD digicam is just a little TOO cheap but here you go:
