Title: Final Round of the Mr Vintage NZ series 8
Post by: DJRacing on April 17, 2011, 09:21:26 am

It was a wet, misty day so I'm sorry about the quality of the photos but mud and rain on the lenses is just the same as on goggles. But everyone had a good day and Bill showed his true colours..... a 'greenie tree hugger'. Its just that the tree is now 1-0 KO, the golden gloves are held by the tree....  ;D

Great shots DJR. Whoever took them knows what they are doing with a camera!  The down hill muddy off camber corner looks like it would claim a few victims! Brings back the nostalgia of grass track mud races in the Waikato back on the farm! Where was the event? ;D ;D ;D

It was about 10k from Wanganui and we have ridden there alot. Its a great place for vintage motocross.

Track looks great, that's what the Australian VMX scene needs

Vandy you are always welcome to come on over and have a race on tracks likes this. Bill needs a hurry up in the pre75 250 class and you could do that  ;)  ;D

Great shots, track layout looks excellent..staying upright looks like a challenge in that greasy stuff :)

That track is the only thing I've seen in the last twenty years to make me think of moving back to NZ!

I used to take tracks like that for granted

I can just imagine ear to ear grins under those helmets on those first few power slide pics, just like this ;D ;D

What's an airfare to NZ worth these days?

There was a fair few puckering butts the first front end slide as well

Given that we have more land per capita, why can't we put on a meet at a track like that?
Great photo's DJ.
Some names to numbers would be interesting, DR no88 for a start.

Post by: GD66 on April 17, 2011, 06:41:13 pm

Names and numbers van be found on the VMX Livewire site, just look down the front page to  Round 4 points (Whakatane). 88 on the DR is Owen Kirk, and 365 is a...a... WOMAN, Astrid Hartnell.

http://www.vmx.livewire.gen.nz/  will get ya there.  ;)

Good effort once again, DJ, much appreciated.  :D

Envy there are so little places in Aus were you can do that type of racing

OMG ... nirvana.
Thanks for posting fab photos.

Looks like a Kiwi Elsinore also named #171, huh KB?

Love the Husky 125 shot.

How come it seems muddier and foggy in latter pix (almost like a different day?)

What a gorgeous looking property.

Some fantastic photography there ... good on you!

Practise was dry then as the day went on it got wetter.
#171 is a mt250 rather than a cr but as the series has gone on its gotten quite a bit faster

Only problen No8, is every time it rains here , they call it off. If they did that there they would only run once a year.
Conondale would be that good on a wet day, except they would chase us off with shotguns.
