It is great that he is coming to race at home again

Thanks vmx42 :)
“It’s a win-win for me – I get to race at home, launch the awesome new 2013 Honda, test and develop the bike against guys I consider world-class competitors, catch up with my friends and family and get to spend some time with the guys in the MotoGP paddock as well.”

I was luck enough to be up close to what was the most exciting race I have ever seen and by far more exciting then the GP, on Saturday evening at Phillip Island there were 20 pro open riders on the line 15000 people crammed around a small SX track and everyone held there breath as they went around the first corner and Chad Reed hole shotted. I had goose bumps and I wasnt the only one the Moto Gp Corporation and phillip island group could not believe how many people were interested in the SX and not Gp. Things will be different next time there is promise of grandstands, better security and even being a part of the show instead of being a support act.
Thankyou to all those guys that came out and watched or helped out it was orsome.
Toowoomba next and then Newcastle straight after come along and see the best Sx racing in the world
Cheers

Hi Alison,
I was infield very close to the camera man mostly on the first corner you just get a very brief glimpse at 1.29 luckily he had his wide angle lense on ;D
It was incredible I am very proud of all my team the event went off with out a hitch, I am just getting my voice back after talking for two days straight over the radio

Very cool to see Chad Reed and the other stars racing. Very uncool spectating set up >:( >:(. Trackside signage blocked out most viewing spots and the dirt piled up for the jumps blocked views across the track. 35 second laps were a bit short also shall we say ???. The concept is excellent and if they provide better spectating facilities and make the course a bit longer then it will be an awesome addition to the GP. Roll on 2013 :D

FB - you lose your voice - sorry physical impossibility! ;D

Chads at Toowoomba next week end and I have got my old mate 211 to be an assistant Starter.He will also be helping out at the areana cross on Sunday. Welcome to our team of miss fits Dave.
Last chance if anyone wants to help out as a flaggy I can give you a gig, Toowoomba or Newcastle

Track was shithouse. One dirt mound on one side of track for spectators the rest had to watch from the flat. Record crowds at the Island and the SX was an after-thought from the organisers. So much potential for a festival of all things 2 wheel and they dish up shite like that.
-
Fatboy is 211 helping starting or scrutineering the Monster energy start girls?
-
Bazza, he is a ass starter ;D and also pirelli pussy cats scrutinizer ;D
Its a tough job but some one has to do it

Hi Guys,
Just home from Toowoomba bloody crappy Queensland weather 50 mil of rain my old mate Dave Tanner called me the drought breaker, every time I go to Qld for a bike race it rains and is shitty weather. Done 2rounds of Aust superbikes, the classic mx and now aust SX this year and rained and cold every time might as well had them down here in Tassie it was warmer down here then Qld this weekend ??? ???
Any way 211 did a great job as the Assistant Starter and the guy who helps the grid girl with the 15 sec board.
Thanks Dave good job, I didnt get much time to spend with him ( had a bit of pressure)but he did his job very professionally and with a smile :D
Now next weekend is Newcastles turn for the last round of the Australian Super X Championship hope everyone comes out to have a look at Chads last ride in Aussie for a while.
If anyone wants to come along and help out send me a email and I will get you up close to the action
Fatboy
