Title: 2012 Canowindra Cup
Post by: Graeme M on May 31, 2012, 08:39:11 pm
OK, it's a little while off, but well worth booking into your calendar now. The 2012 HEAVEN funfest at Canowindra will be held over the weekend 29/30 September 2012 (note: September - I earlier had October which is not correct).

A fun grasstrack laid out in the local showgrounds, in the middle of town, with covered pits and catering on hand, and a huge helping of 'feel good' vibes. It just doesn't come any better than this one. I'm told this year the track will feature sand and berms but no jumps to help encourage first timers and maybe some dirt trackers to come and have a go. My recommendation? Don't miss it.

More info soon.

 Hi Guys and Girls,i know its a busy time but i hope you all can make it to the CANOWINDRA CUP.We have a few things to hopefully make you feel welcome  starting with a sausage sizzle as you arrive friday night .A coin dropped in my trusty tin for the WESTPAC HELICOPTER is all it will cost ya ,mite even find a beer or a soft drink for you.Saturday nights meal is going to be good,my wife and a couple of friends are cooking with a bit of help from me.A B.B.Q style meal is what we are thinking.Steak or sausage or maybe a rissole with fresh salad and potato bake.Also some nice desert. And it will be cheap.But trust me the girls can cook.We will be donating any money raised to the HELICOPTER DONATION TIN.                                                                                                                                                                   THANKS GREG         P.S I HAVE A JERSY THAT HAS BEEN SIGNED BY ABOUT TEN OF THE TOP MX RIDERS FROM LAST YEAR,IF ANY ONE IS INTERESTED MAKE ME AN OFFER .I CAN FRAME IT IF YOU LIKE.MONEY GOING TO HELICOPTER AS WELL

I think all these come from behind victories are getting to you Hardo. I'll have to get my Steam Train sorted and see if I can stem the flow, although that will be a tough ask given your current form!

Greg, will you have any Gluten Free food on the menu?  Also can I organise some 'Transporter' parking for my mobile Lizard Lounge please? 8)

Hey Greg

Team Bevo will be in on the family pics, helmets on or off. With my rough head I think helmets on.

How are you going with the track design?

A big long straight so the 500 can get up to full noise and blast those pesky green 250's especially that number 12.

Speak soon and see you at CD

Hi Guys,

Unfortunately I will not be attending Canowindra this weekend due to family reasons, have a great ride/race and whenever you pass Greg Holmes in the pits give him a big pat on the back for making this annual event such a HUGE success.

The Wrap Up - Well the curse of Canawindra - RAIN - reared it's head again on the Friday. Severe Storms they reported. Wind and rain so heavy we had to pull over.

Saturday race day arrived to some light showers and and a track that soaked up the downpour like a sponge. Bit of wind and some sunny spots had the track working fantastic. Zero dust - no mud and a bit of slip. This years layout was even better. 20 L plastic drums and 30km of tape set the general rules of engagement. Kick a drum or cut a corner cost 2 places this year. Saved about 400 kicked and displaced drums this year.

Great turn out of Pre 78, 75 and 70 bikes. Good sprinkle of non club members turned up for a taste as well. Dave from Orange and the fast Grant from Bega on his fathers original Evo Honda 250.

Locals did all the flagging and arranging for us and it ran like clockwork. Plenty of toe to toe racing. Hard to get past without risking a bit of argy bargy.   Rickman BSA, TS 185's CZ's Motessa, KTM, RH Suzuki's, Yamaha, Kawasaki, Honda Baby Thumpers, Big Bore Can Am's and the list goes on and on.  No major injuries so Dave the medic had an easy day. John Zarro was about the worst off after his arm got sucked up by Burko # 76 back wheel. Burko was on fire this weekend. Riding these flatter corner tracks suits some blokes and Burko is one of the. His Husky held together well for some top wins.

The club No1 Plate holder showed us all why he has that plate. His Pre 85 CR 500 Honda an absolute rocket ship with him on it around this track. A mix of tight lefts and rights made way from some 3rd gear sandy burms then to some wide open drifting sweepers, The local HWP arrived and put the speed camera on a couple of blokes who were clocked at almost 80k coming out of a sweeper. Noice...

The format was for Pre 78 bikes all in followed by Pre 85 all in and the best of each group went into the Final for the Canowindra Cup. All ages of rider, bike, capacity, colour flavour all in together.

The winners were - First Jody Perry # 1  Second  Grant from Bega # 16 and Third Carl Blecher #4 -  There was another Cup for the first Pre 78 bike home and it went to Carl Rindlisbacher #9 ( 1972 Husky 450) who came 4th behind Carl Blecher.

The presentation and evening meal put on by the locals was brilliant. Most stayed on in the hall for a good old race review. Better than braving the minus 3 degrees that rolled in later that night.

Best meeting yet - Ya shoulda been there.

PS - Ken Swan on #222 had a blinder too. Limited his time on the ground and didn't have a steam issue with a air cooled bike.

Wow, I have to agree, how good was that event? A brilliantly run weekend. Thanks to everyone who had a hand in putting it together. Greg and his team for a HUGE effort and creating what can aptly be described as a Good Ol Aussie Country VMX Bash. To the committee, for their hard work yet again, and to those who made my family feel welcome, especially the Bevo clan, Chris, Mike & Bob, as always, went out of their way. Also, thanks to the guys I raced with, hard but clean racing, a strength of this club. To top it all off, my Team got up and won the Grand Final. Go the Swans!!!

Always glad to provide a service, yes the broken front brake perch prevented me rejoining hostilities, but captured on images gives a real feel. By the way I still have some of the real feel in my right leg & left arm this morning.

Heaven club members were once again welcomed by the Canowindra community with open arms and made feel very welcome. Greg Holmes and his band of hard working locals did a fantastic job with the whole facility and track. Everyone I spoke to had a ball and the presentation / dinner / get together on Saturday night was just great.

Good to see that the 3 year layoff hasn't slowed you down any. Looking forward to seeing you at more events next year. As the adds used to say "you meet the nicest people on a Honda"
