Title: Viper at Ravenswood
Post by: Viper65 on July 08, 2012, 08:15:45 pm
A perfect day's riding on a perfect track in perfect weather!
The event was beautifully ran and organised by Mick Hughes, Simon Healy, Dawn and Ken Baker, Jason Ladson and the Bendigo Motorcycle club who prepared the track to suit the vintage nature of the competition. 
Well done guys!

Same.. Best weather ever at a viper event Event I've been to over the last three years.. Had an absolute ball except for cramps On the way home which saw me falling out of the drivers seat near Kyneton!! Thanks to all involved, really punched through the races which meant getting home at a decent time.

A huge big thanks to my helpers in the tower yesterday, without you, I would have been in a spot of bother ;) ;) Congratulations to all winners and placegetters and thanks to the Bendigo MCC and to the canteen ladies, the hamburger at lunchtime was yummy and thanks for the heating in the tower :)

"except for cramps On the way home which saw me falling out of the drivers seat" ??? Painful but um how? You driving an old Mini Moke or a Jeep CJ8 or something?  :D
Reminded again about the sad part of working every weekend. Cheers and go Bendigo club and Ravenswood.

Thanks Hilly. I'll tell you the secret......
Stock pipe, stock ignition, standard porting, throw the boost bottle to the shit-house and lower the compression slightly (I have the head milled) for pump gas.  ;)

Yep Hoony i went and had a good day, the track was fantastic and the whole day ran like clock work. Get your arse into it Hoony, life is to short mate. Next meeting is at Yanakie and then followed by 2 grass track race meets at Sunbury, just what ya 500 needs.

If you want Hoony just turn up and i will bring ya a bike with fuel in it to ride. Just bring ya gear buy a 1 day licence and your done.

Thanks mate but that's too kind of an offer, i can get my bike organised..

Title: Re: Viper at Ravenswood
Post by: Billet YZ on July 10, 2012, 09:10:26 pm
No transponder required these are Viper rounds.

Yanakie August 26th.

Sunbury (Wildwood) September 16th.

You haven`t been spotted at a Viper race meet since that dreaded crank episode.
