Woody,
We'll be down on Friday. Leaving Newcastle around 8am, so hopefully arrive just after lunch. Spoke with Dennis yesterday and big thanks to him and his helpers for prepping the track on the weekend. Dennis says that the track is in good shape, so should be a good weekend. Looking forward to riding the full track hopefully this year. Couple of minor changes to the track with no whoop section anymore and one of the big tabletops after the old whoop section replaced with a sand section. Should be interesting. See you there. Cheers.
Dan

Woody, have you got a pic of Dean Burt clearing the stepup jump.
Just want to get everyone a little bit scared.
Looking forward to Sunday, hopefully no hospital this year, its been 2yrs since I bit it bad.

Weather looks good, mostly sunny 20deg. Better bring your long johns though Teddles for a chilly sat night.

Macca, are these the pics you were after (courtesy of Team Bevo)

Ah Woody, Woody, Woody. No way in the world do I want to punt the poor old RM around a motocross track ever again. It'll do the occasional dirt track and maybe Canowindra this year and that's all. I was tempted to come out Saturday on the YZ125, but at this stage I think not. I have heard there's a rec day up at the dirt track circuit on Sunday so if that is actually on, I'll go out with the RM and try to get it jetted right. Gezza may come along and take the YZ for a spin. After that we'll drop by to see how you guys are going.  You could always wander up the hill between races to watch us tearing up the flat track...   ;D

A good day's racing, that one.

Personally,  I think I've finally got my confidence back after busting my fibula two and a half years ago. Got a second and a third on the MX250A, and felt good on both the YZ125s.

Bloody Bill C was on fire. I told him that printing a silly (but funny) name on his riding jersey didn't give him the right to hose us young blokes, but he didn't listen.

Young Reece Shepheard was also impressive, including making the Shardman work hard in the pre78 all powers race.

Yep, plenty of great photos from different angles & corners.  This one showing SHardmans Elsinore trying to run over Carls Triumph Metisse. SHauny did get past & win but. I watched on from behind (had my good eye on them!)
It was a hard fun event with No accidents, fantastic considering the tracks a little too supercrossy.
The entry numbers looked a lot like near 100 to me. It was even fun to corner marshal and watch Deano Burt, Jody Perry & the Beverly brothers going at it & firing over the table tops.
Junior rider Beverly the only one clearing all the jumps....amazing.... (he was on a new 125 but).

It would appear to beyond my phone internet skills... will fix tonight.
Did you crash the Husky 125 in the first turn, or just look like it?
