The racing at Canbera was a blast with the track the most fun to ride I have seen it. We misse Mrs Hardo's camera with very few photos available, but our attention now turns to Round 4 at Bulahdelah on the MX track. The flyer has hit the post box or went via the electronic magic of email.
Entry form and flyer should be available here very shortly
http://www.heaven-vmx.com/
The track and facilities have had further work over recent time and should be ready for a great meeting. I think everyone will be impressed with the improvements and for all that rode the MX circuit last November that is a big call big it was just great.
Get your entries in as it is going to be big ;)

Flyer and entry form can be downloaded here

The recent working bee has the track looking great with Dan the Painter spraying the marshalling points and the grass area slashed.
-
Looking forward to it boys. Bruises are almost healed. Nice hue of purplish cerise though!
-
Its amazing what you can find on the internet ! ... ;D
Here might be some footage of the 'Steamtrain 222' having a little rest on the track....

...spewing I had the GoPro on backwards.... I had a great view of it... :D
-
I can report that Mrs. Hardo said she will be at Bulahdelah to take the usual 2000 photos.... ;D

Race order this meeting will be rotated so that the ERA order will be
Pre 78
EVO
Pre 85
Pre 75 (includes 4T)
If you can keep that in mind when nominating your marshal duties it would be great
In hindsight (what a wonderful thing is hindsight) we should have been doing this all year D'oH :-[
-
Sounds like the track is looking the goods 8)
It was a blast last november and track then was in top order thanks to all the working bees
cant wait for this one last november was my last race :)
-
I'm heading down for the meeting and have a bit of time to kill. Can I help with set-up on Friday?
-
No worries at all I'll be there around lunch time on Friday. There are a few things to be done so all help very welcome. Will PM you a little closer.

includes 4t whats that
-
Is 4T = 4 stroke ???
-
Is 4T = 4 stroke ???
Yes
-
well to me fourstroke is 4st
-
Thats a first 4 storkes running with pre 75,
is the numbers down on 4 strokes or numbers down on pre 75 bikes to join this race
-
OK
Pre 75 session includes 4 stroke race. Hope that clears it up ;D
We have ran it that way for rounds 2 & 3 and seemed to run OK (no complaints anyway and even a couple of positive feedbacks). It is mainly to balance up the number of races in the marshaling sessions. Otherwise Pre85 would have more races than all the other sessions and the Pre75 less than all the others. When we put the 4 strokes with the Pre75 session they are almost the same number of races in each marshaling session.
I think it ran that way a couple of years ago for a few meetings but not sure. Very happy to hear feedback on the race schedule from members just email to the clubs address.
-
Lets hope the weather god's are kind to us this year. It's raining or dust.
Don't forget to download your entry form and send it off to the Secretary. The earlier you get your entry in the easier it is to sort out numbers for classes and also give some idea of flag marshalls for each Era.
Lets give a damm about somebody else and don't leave it till the last minute or upto your spouse.
Hope to see you there with a big grin on your face.

I agree. Why do Castrol call the 2 stroke oil 2T?
-
Spoke to Greg the other day and he updated me on all the work done to the track by the tireless volunteers. Sounds like all you 3 lap dash softies out there who like all the bumps graded out are going to be happy. ;D
For me, I guess that means I have more chance of staying on 2 wheels and Hardo will have to look for a new movie star to roll around in the dirt for him. Don't count on it though.
Vote 1 for Longer Races. Motocross (VMX) is an Endurance Test, not a Sprint.

Ok guys, camera is on charge ! Bring it on :)
Diana..

Hey Ken... yeah no more of those crashes in front of me... ... :o
I just noticed your signature ... LOL! Steam Train !! Love it... ;D

Thank God! We missed you Diana. I even did some special dirt ballet you missed. Can you give Bob a lesson in downloads please? The photos he posted stretched us out and made us all look like we were 30 years younger. Come to think of it, maybe that wasn't so bad :-\

Sadly mate the Steam Train's days might be numbered. It seems some genius in the past decided the bike would work better with coolant inlet fittings glued and cross threaded into the head nearly half the diameter of the stock ones ???... obviously resulting in restricting the flow of coolant and pressurizing the whole system. Big K was kind enough to send me one he had lying around and I can now go back to the stock set up. If this doesn't work, I'm welding the bloody thing together!
As for the crashes, as long as I can manage to do them in front of you rather than behind you, I can live with them ;D
Keep that camera rolling...

I am the Photoshop queen Ken, I can scrub ten years off your age in your pics too if you like ;)

Long range weather forecast is looking good. Could it be that we are going to make it half way through our race season without a wet race meeting in the midst of all this rain? ::) The Motocross gods are looking favorably down upon us!
-
OMG .... mockers are placed now Ken !! :o
Bike: Check
Riding gear: Check
Umbrella for the Steam Train Rain: Check :P
-
OMG :o KEN OMG never mention the W word so far out from the event :o :o. If it rains now everybody knows who caused it ::) :P
-
Oh Crap!! :-X Retraction Retraction Retraction....
-
Don't worry about being blamed for the rain KJ. I've driven 7,000kms so far and the rain has followed me all the way ME :o
I bring the rain, and I'm coming to this event........................
-
Quick tell him to keep on driving. Don't mention the R word.
If you or your spouse hasn't sent off your entry yet then get it out and fax or e-mail it to the secretary.
The earlier you get the entry in the easier it is to organise classes and flaggies.
Remember the track has had some major works over the past couple of months so the track should be in great shape, as long as KJ222 keeps his mouth shut.
PS Sir Ted you entered????
Bob
-
Just entered Robert.....electric blanket is packed ;)

Hey Brent welcome to our humble patch of dirt. Don't listen to them, they're full of hot air. Huge effort to travel all that way. I'll save a beer or two for you. We can drink it counting rain drops. ;D
-
Thanks KJ, looking forward to it.
I've signed up online (I think) so it should be all go. It's good for me as your meeting is right after the Nats so it's just a bit of a detour really ;D

Yep entry is in ;) 8)
A bit of a detour :o you NT guys seem to always speak of distances in 4 digits only ie 1000 or 2000 etc ::)
;D see you there
-
Thanks Monty,
I only get to do these trip every two years or so. Sometimes all the planets align, this year there is the Nats, Bulahdelah then Biddaddaba on three consecutive weekends. All two day meetings. It means a trip to Newcastle and back to Brissy but it doesn't add much to the overall trip and it fills in a week or so. ;D
On this trip my wife and I had a holiday in North Queensland for a few weeks then she flew home yesterday.
The next few weeks are mine then I drive home.
VMX in Darwin is the me and sometimes the other Brent.
The lack of VMX is a negative but the lifestyle is still very good.
-
Wont be able to race because of an injury that is not healed yet :(
But I would like to help out for the weekend.
Any chance of doing my MA licensing exam over the weekend?
-
Help always welcome ;)
When you say MA licencing exam do you mean for your competition licence? If you mean that you want to do Officials accreditation that depends on what it is you need to do.
The competitioon licence exam can also be down loaded from MNSW site
-
Just so I can pay the 12 month fee to MA race license fees, so I can race my bike. Thats all. I will print the paperwork and bring it with me.
I can turn up on Friday lunch time if you like? Bring a whipper snipper or other tools if you need something in particular done? etc. I am very familiar with the venue.

Only 0.2mm of rain in the Bulahdelah area today although 10-20mm was forecast according to weatherzone.com
Lets hope it stays dry for the rest of the week............
-
Well the weather has been pretty mixed at Bulahdelah. Around 50mm of RRRrrrrrrrrrrrrrr since Monday morning early but forecast is for clear, sunny and warmer air for the next few days. Through to Sunday PM actually so we can only hope. At this stage all systems go as it is Motocross after all ;)
-
No RRRRrrrrrrrrrrrr today apparently sunny tommorrow. All systems go.
-
only 50mm....pffft. Hardly enough to worry a COMPLEX
-
.... all I am hearing is NO DUST ! :)

TED.................................. you are starting to put quite a complexion on this complex of yours about dealing with the word complex ;D.
Complex :- multifaceted, compound, composite, multipart, intricate, multifarious
The last two fit your complex very well while the first 4 fit the Bulahdelah VMX Heavenly Institute extremely well ;).
Just load up that space shuttle of yours and get ready for some fun and don’t make things more complex than this multifaceted wonderful sport of ours needs to be ;D ;D
-
.... all I am hearing is NO DUST ! :)
No DUST 'and' no STEAM! Happy Days :D
I got that Raceday feeling again ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D..............
See you up there boys

How about "see you up there boys and girls" Ken !

Absolutely 100% no dust

Perfect blue skies, sunshine. One of those wish you had of been here days
