Perfect track conditions and weather at Coles Creek yesterday, excellent day of racing, hope everyone enjoyed it.

Great feedback on new track - thanks Brett and Terry for all your hard work on track layout and set up.

New property has a lot of potential - and worked well for our first time at the venue.

See y'all at Rocksberg!

Yes a great day of racing. Track gripped up nicely as the day wore on. Mud bog got more and more interesting  ;D ;D. Bit of a wrestle for the big bores but still had a heap of fun :D Thanks to the organises and flaggies.

Looks like another 125 circuit....about as much flow as the Todd in a dry spell.  How many times did you change gears Rusty?

You should have ridden your mower Mainline. Cut a few quick laps and killed 2 birds with one stone! Painting would have had to wait though  ;D

You got it right there Chris, another overly tight vmx track with so many 1st gear corners.. I think we need to show some videos of the current Conondale and Farleigh Castle tracks! Anyway we all had a great day with lots of close racing...

Hey John, looked like a good venue with plenty of promise

I don't mind the slow turns but you need some flow about it and a few good straights, We need a few of the tracks of old set up again that Bill Nolan set up keep it flowing and they will come!

I had already planned to run at Action Park so had to miss this one which was a real shame, but the flat track was excellent!

It is a good venue Shane, hopefully not so many tight sections next time.
How many vintage bikes did they get to Maryborough?

About 8 all up John, which doesn't sound like a lot but the track has a grid of 12 (that was in post 75 to 86 and about another 5 in pre 75.

Varity is the spice of life they say not all tracks can be the same. That was a smooth track on Sunday.  Looking forward to going back there (my boy left a shovel under some tree). Did i say i WON the first race of the day on a pre 70 cz 360, Love the footage from rusty. There where a couple of pre 90 cr 500’s out there on the day that where quick as well. Good to see everyone had fun.  to the track set up people well done. looking forward to seeing your work at the next track.  :)
