Is the Charity weekend still on for 30th/31st July.Great weekends casual racing
-
club meeting next week, more info as it comes grasy. i can tell that there is a invite to the pre 90 guys.
-
As long as they get their own 25 lapper.
Should be another great weekend.
-
slides i think the 25 lappers are like last year but don`t quote me. find out next week
-
Hey Mick, we should be putting out a call for any local guy's out there with a potent pre 75 bike to come out to try and stop the Greasy6 juggernaut from taking out the 25 lapper for the 3rd year in a row ;D
And can I book pole position for the pre 85 25 lapper, I have to push start my beast now?
-
There must be someone out there who can give him a run for his money!
cheers
-
WALLY
only 52 comes to mind but hes in the usa.and 25 laps will be like a 6 hour for me and i dont want dave laping me time and time again
jim
-
Some-one might have to sneak up behind him in the pits and belt him over the scone with an old Velo muffler.
-
pancho i thought you where a lover, not a fighter. violence WIIL NOT BE tolerated at this meeting but bribery ;) will.
a black flag would stop him. a donation to the charity would help.
-
Merely a suggestion Micks, its not a worry since he doesn't ride a slider.
cheers pancho.
-
Hey I am still from NSW back off or I will bring along me concrete boot moulds. Hit with a Velo muffler (at least an XL350 crankshaft in good nic)
Cheers Grasy
-
grasy the mind games have started,don`t let them get to you.
"concrete boots" yer you are from griffith.
john imrie has a super tuned bultaco for young olly and he is in training.
-
Hi Micks wot size shoe does Oliey wear ?? Jokes aside Oliey is a great young polite rider(shame he lost a chain last year or it would of been his). Love his style on John's Bully. Still smiling at the fact that my CR250 beat the Bully at the Aussie Titles with Toby Tyson on it.But will be at Neapean with a 4 smoker in the 25 lapper.
-
Some old gentleman the other day asked me if I new where he could get an old Velo muffler. I think he rides an XL350. cheers pancho. [I said I heard that the late great Edgar Penzig had a few stashed away somewhere for use when the need arised.]
-
Does anybody know where I can find an entry form for this event?
Cheers
Shaun
-
You can enter on the day I think.
-
hi shaun, club meet tonight will find out more info and post it.how are you going with your pre 90 boys?hope we have a few turn up.yes i know you have to buy another tyre and drop your gear a bit but it will be worth it.even if you try it and hate it there will always be someone that will buy that tyre.all the best with the cause.
-
Hi Mick
There should be a couple of us Pre '90 blokes there. I've had a couple of inquiries but I don't think we will need our own class :( :( :(
I may still be on an Evo bike unless I pull my finger out and get my '89 finished in time. After riding last year I'm looking forward to having another crack this year.
Cheers

penrith charity weekend 30/31st july
the charity this year is for melanoma research. some of our members have this and are going thru treatment.
club meet last night,info to report back on is that the saturday 25 lappers will be pre 75 (grasy cup) and pre 90 (78 evolution pre 85/90).at first the club was only going to run up to pre 85 but it was put to the members that we include pre90 into the 25 lapper to test the waters.
saturday will run something like last year. sign on,scurtineering 11.00/12.00 ish practice 1.00 ish pre 75 25 lapper 2.30 ish pre 90 25 lapper 3.30 ish
saturday night you can camp at the track, toilets/hot showers etc have a couple of refreshments around the fires listern to how grasy lost the 25 lapper to young olly.(mind games grasy)
sunday sign on,scrutineering (if not done on saturday) 8.00/9.00 ish on the track at 10.00 for pratices then into racing run up to or around 4.00 then a presentation.
pre entry is the way to go as it gets you a place in the saturday 25 lappers and would help to see what classes we need to put together, there maybe a programme printed.if you are not on the club post out list you can phone the good people at kelens kawasaki 47214439 for an entry form.
hope this helps
ps shaun can you put a post on the retro site for us please.

I hope that fast MSS Velo will be there on full song, [might even have a leftover muffler with his gear!]
cheers.

Just looking back to see were the hell did he come from & watching out for the Velo muffler.

jim
454
-
It ain't looking good Jim.
They say the rain will ease up tomorrow and from Tuesday on will be clear.
Fingers crossed that will be enough time.
-
come on fellas think postive they have just run the king of nepean under the same weather conditions.jim it has been off and on here at penrith we would had a total off 12/15mm up to yesturday. it stops tuesday there will be heaps of time for the track to dry out. ( track not the pits.) if it`s overcast and there`s a wind it will dry the track out.all we have to hope is nepean motorsports have done the track work after the king of nepean and have not left it to the last minute.will find out more about track and get back.
-
micks
i know the pits is the worst for drainage its what stops most meetings with rain pooring the week before ithe weather was the same last year
in the past i have been there and the trackis fine but you cant even walk in the pist without slipping over
jim
454
-
There's the problem Jim, trying to walk when your pist.
She'll be right, as Mick said, the power of positive thinking.
-
AND I thought Jim was a sober gent!
-
been told that the track has been run over but nepean would like to run the grader over it to get it prefect and have not been able too.
keep those entries coming in.
jim don`t worry about walking around the pits you will have no time with all your bikes, your classes then riding up a class you will be on the track more than the pits :)
-
wney outside this morning and no rain and a little blue sky.sorted some methenol for next week pick up.things are looking good
jim
micks pls no back to back races i am too old for that.no pit crew now since steves a racer now
-
It's okay Jim I'll have Tom with me, he'll gladly help.
So as many back to backs as you can Mick, Jim has been in training for 6 months.
-
we have been putting all our money on ollie to take up to grasy. jim maybe the dark horse here, i heard the the same thing slides that jim was in a training camp in the usa.
no matter how you run the format there is always someone that will have back to back races.anywho we can work arounded that problem
-
Actually Mick he was at the Betty Ford Clinic, but we'll keep that to ourselves.
I don't think Jim is turning up for the 25 lapper, sook, if we all put some pressure on him he may wilt.
-
some people can be so unkind,(apologies to Kamahl ;D), :P
-
meeting last night about the meet, format, programme etc.
keep the entries coming in.
sponsors on board. big thankyou to all. teknik suspension is one to note they have help the club with an issue.
try to stop the back to back races as much as we can but it will put some out.just to put more pressure on you,we will be running transponders.this is to make sure we get the 25 lappers right as the officials cannot count to 25.this means we can keep an eye on the people that take short cuts to win or turn a blind to the one who does.
format is as entred on page 2.
-
got my 25ltrs of methenol today $1.40 ltr cheaper than 98 i am ready
cheers
jim
454
-
sorry forgot any help with flaggies would be great.
sundays format looks good for a quick turnover if no problems.weather etc.
sliders and sidecars doulble up to make up for solos riding up.laps where not talked about but 3.5 is the standard but if we are looking good in time that may increase.jim hope 25ltrs go the distance? :)
-
1 litre a lap?
-
steve i know you wont give it a rest till sunday 1 more time not comming sat.
-
Okay I give up, I was thinking more about the 5mm main jet you're running.
-
sorry forgot again must be that methonal jim with organge juice,,, greeaaatt!!!
flaggies get a showbag of goodies (drinks niddly etc) be right there where the action is (photos) and at great expence to the club free lunch plus the gratitude of the riders for beening there so we can ride.
slides that`s 5mm a main jet x 3 bikes = 15mm but 1 litre lap at 3 bikes at 3.5 laps - bike class and ride up a class = ? more orange juice.
-
weather today has been a ripper
-
looks like a great weekend coming up.
I'm envious.
Just have to wait for the next one. Last one I was all ready and keen for, it p###ed down rain. Will I ride at the St George meeting or hold off for the next Penrith club one?
cheers pancho.
-
All loaded & ready to rumble.
C'mon Wally, there is still time mate, 25 laps on a slider?
See you all out there.
-
lucky bastard,wish i was loaded,(the van that is ::)),if the fugging TL don't make the right noises later tis morning i'm gunna burn it >:(,err, see yas all later on tonite i guess, :P
-

cheers

Grasy got hammered ;Din the pre75 25 lapper, finishing third behind Olly in 2nd and Clinton Mcdonald in 1st.
The pre90 25er was won by Lee Hunter, Anthony Gras 2nd and Roy Gay 3rd.
I survived the weekend in one peice but unfortunately there were a couple of injuries.
Jim Garvey - ribs and Oliver Smith - collarbone, there were a couple of other minor injuries but I don't know who they are but a speedy recovery to all.
I'm sick of the sight of big bore 2 strokes, I was getting great starts and getting swamped just before turn one.
And they stink.
-
Sorry to hear that Jim and Ollie broke bones. Take it easy fellers and do what the medicos tell you, specially you Jim, busted ribs aren't much fun and can turn nasty if you don't do as you are told.
Hopefully a speedy recovery for both.
Cheers pancho.
-
I should have mentioned that the track is the best I've ever seen it, it's a credit to BWP's Tony Garrard, he's put a shitload of work into it and it's starting to show.
Also thanks to all the officials and workers who make these great events possible for us to enjoy.
-
"JIMG1AU" is this the same Jim Garvey who reported to have broke ribs on Sunday who rides 454? Just curious as i dont know his last name. Any case get well soon Jim and Ollie.....
Brett
-
Yeah that's our Jim. He looked a bit sad and sorry when he was loading up. Jim's a good bloke so I hope he doesn't suffer too much and is back on board soon.
-
I just want to give a HUGE thank you to the Penrith club for giving us pre '90 fella's a run at this meeting. Unfortunately we were missing a few guy's due to the rescheduling of the Picton Amcross round. However those of us there had a sensational time.
The track was simply awesome! Tony Garrad's efforts in preparing the track has it in the best shape I have ever seen it in.
The use of transponders, despite the small hiccups early, was great. I hope the club perseveres with them in future as getting printouts of lap times cool ;) Just got to remember to change the transponder over to your second bike each race hey Damo ;D ;D ;D
Cheers
Shaun
-
ha!,can't say done n dusted anymore,coz there was no dust ;D,track was pretty good all round! ;),seemed bit more slippery when watered than previous?,yeah Jimbo's pretty sore,(missus wasn't impressed either ;))but ribs not broken,sat nite campfire was good value,wasn't that cold,pretty quite without the turtle :-*,us 2 tranny boys were last men standing,(think it was the port ::)) ,my project TL350 wasn't quite what i hoped for,nervous f/end,& bloody misfire i can't quite get my head around?,(back to the drawing board on that one),lot of new faces too,couple old familiar faces as well,good to see Phil Young,& his ossa make an appearance,the bighorn kwaka again,Pat from ACT made the trip,congrats to all the winners,the rest,all grinners, :P
-
Thanks also, to the Penrith club for opening up the regs to allow Pre 90's at this fantastic event.
Had a great day a little slow in the morning with some front end issues but after lunch, I found some speed on the 89 CR500 and even managed to hold out the Vice Pres for 3 laps ;D ;D ;D
Looking forward to doing some more in the future.
Damo
-
Are the lap times for this event on the internet for all to see? Who knows the link?
Also the times for the King of Nepean?
cheers pancho.
-
Hey Brett ( oldyzman ), that TS 250 you were selling some time back won the pre 70's, or it was it's twin.
-
hope we are all home safe and sound? nice to hear the postive feed back.
didn`t know jim was beaten up, so that`s why he was packing up early.think jims missus is a nurse he will get special attention.ollie is ok facture to collarbone not broken.trying to find out how the bloke in the pre 75 25 lapper is.he was sore on sunday.
excellent presentation from the pre 90 crew thank`s shaun. tony`s track work is paying off but we have to keep on top of the watering. under the pump with the transponders it is the first time the club has used them we should of learnt about the problems by now as st george use them.what i should of done is sent everyone back out for a second pratice, but to late now.flagies is another issue the club needs to work thru, again under the pump to get the show on the road but without the flagies there is no show.so thank`s to all the flagies.
poncho good turn out for the sliders think i counted 8. kingie and lenny had a go but where`s wally.
-

jim
454
ps was a great day as well thanks to all
-
Matcho Mick, the only reason you were one of the last men standing is because you only got there at about 11pm, we already had been going for at least 6 hours and I only pulled the pin when the lovely Mrs Gras politely told us to PO, mind you I'm glad she did, took me 1/2 an hour to subdue the cramps enough to crawl out of my tent in the morning, I cramped up again big time on the trip home.
And what's this Tranny bit, you worry me sometimes.
Jimbo, harden the F up, only 2 meetings in 1 year, you have to ride at the BWP run club day, your big bro's coming up with the Gall Special for me to have a ride on, we might need some spares ;D, it is a few months away.
See, if you'd have camped at the track you wouldn't have been so toey on the track ;)
-
Yes sliderules, that was the ts250 of mine and ex neville shepherd, i saw it on the saturday in the 25 lapper, i think it retired early on sat, A guy called John bourght it from me he was involved in heaven in the start apparantly.
Brett
-
Thanks Penrith for a well organised & social weekend, Kelly,Anthony (son) Levi (my nephew,his father Peter passed away last year from the Big C) & myself had a ball. we will be back next year to support you cause . Thanks again ;D Wish Jim,Ollie & Luke (25 lap crash) a speedy recovery
-
by the way wally brett chippa no7 brought the velo muffler for you but youdidnt turn up
-
great weekend, thankyou to everyone, will be back hopefully four a couple of club rounds soon
-
Hey Steve how did I get hammered i was only 4.5 secs behind leader I do beleive you got lapped by my young fella on the same bike I rode 30mins earlier in the pre 75 25 laper. Same bike did 50 laps within one hour & got 2nd & 3rd in respective classes (1973 Xl250 against XR 500) Go those Honda's. We took some chrome home how did u go./
-

Aha, that's more like it Dave, there I was thinking you'd failed to take the bait.
No excuses from me, Anthony goes bloody good and I'm sure we'll be seeing him around for a long time.
Don't forget I'm an ex Speedway rider, we struggle to concentrate after 4 laps, I did win the unofficial 6 lapper for longvterm ADHD sufferers.
No replacement for youthfull exuberance.
-
Track looks perfect, I can simpathize with you Steve, they do eight over here. Pics of Ant look good.
Jimbo must be OK, he is postin stuff.
-
Hey do you wear body armour Jim?
When I busted a rib at Nepean a couple of years ago I had only my leathers and back brace, [of course], but after I recovered I bought a Dianese top which I would be nervous without now. Pity it covers my old Merrylands colours. Any how here's for a speedy recovery.
By the way, its amazing what the threat of the old Velo muffler can achieve!
Good to see every one had a good time. See you all at the next one.
All we need now is the 2012 classics to be held at Nepean
Cheers pancho.
-
think Canberra's got next years titles Pancho,(i think),or angling for it?,Slidey,was 3 tranny boys earlier,but Cec Platt had gone to bed by then,(hint,his has a V8 innit ,mines V6,"happy Days" has std 4cyc ;D), :P
ps look no dust in any of the pictures supplied by jimbo
-
Re Luke Wilesmith 667 pre 75 25 lapper crash has got a fractrued vertabrate 6 weeks to recover. Hope Luke mends ok great dude & rider from Temora.
Regards Grasy
-
It don't get much more serious than that Dave.
6 weeks is a pretty good recovery time, all the best to Luke, he seems like a good egg.
-
I wonder where all those sliders I saw on the 'FotoForum' classic images of old super 8 stuff are today?
cheers pancho
-
thanks grasy for the update on luke.
wish luke a speedy recovery
-
Pancho, unfortunately untill the two clubs that run dirt track in Sydney allow "sliders" (I hate that description) to run with everyone else.
Then they will sit in the sheds.
Anyone who knows anything about the history of short circuit know that this style of chassis can run safely and competitively with MX framed bikes.
I happen to know this because I competed in the 70's and 80's on both MX and Hagon framed bikes.
I have listened to all the crap that is going around about a conflict of styles etc. AND IT IS CRAP.
>:( >:( >:(
-
that would be unfair to 500cc if they ran ma gcrs they would only get 1 ride per round.if they keep the same format ie 125 250 500 unlim.then everybody gets 2 rides per round and also would free up 2 races per round.day would be a little quicker.
just my 2 cents worth and i do have a longtrack slider being restored to ride
jim
454
-
Also raced mx (440 maico)and a slider (Godden-weslake) back in the day and can't see any reason to separate today. Restoring the Godden presently. I feel they should race side by side in the unlimited. pros; better racing, greater progam effeciency and higher interest/discussion level. However I reckon there should be one race feature event for the sliders when there aresufficient numbers just to be a spectacle. When I hear of the CCM only races in the UK, I drool just want to be at the first corner. cons; can't think of any!

Here, here.
-
i agree fully only one exception to the rule 'boof' clarke on his speedway bike with the disc brake on the back , never knew when that combo was going to come from behind and skittle you on the first turn, a very entertaining rider rip boof.
so let the sliders off on the front grid with a 5 second gap what a spectical
expect a big rollup next year you guys have nailed it and from what i've been hearing there a lot more rider 's coming outa the closet , just need to buy bigger gear and ride up a few more cc's
love your stuff gb
-
fellas you are getting off track here if you what to talk about sliders bring it up under the sliders tread, there are some issue here that have nothing to do with the meeting.
-
well done to everyone that rode and donated to this years cause
melanoma research
club meeting held on wednesday the total from the meeting was $3960.90. the club have round it up to $4000.
again a big thank`s to all.

Hows the sore ribs goin' Jim.
cheers pancho.
