Brian,if its anything like our place which is 40 minutes south it will have been hammered by the rain last few days.Might be worth a call to the propery owner to see how dry it is.

So this afternoon I received a call from our Local Disaster Coordination Leader asking if I'm available to work this weekend as they are expecting a massive rain event on the Sunshine Coast this weekend (to be confirmed by BOM tomorrow apparently) .

Told him I had other plans but I hope it turns out to be a false alarm ... just got the Evo 250 ready to chase the young blokes around (Carl and Lochie Fox in his debut VMX ride) and am looking forward to taking them out .. errr trying to keep up  ;D.

Property owner said they have only had 2mms of rain in the past three days and will handle alot more rain.

So hopefully that rain front is not as bad as they think it will be.

We will keep you posted but at this stage it's all go.

Spoke to property owner they got 12 mms of rain today.

Access road still firm. Looking at BOM, the majority of the downpour will be closer to the coastline on Sat.

We will be up there tomorrow and will let everyone know if anything changes.

That's great news Robo because it's pissed rain here on the Sunshine Coast all freaking day although it's apparently hit and miss insome areas.

Anyway, look forward ot hearing a report tomorrow arvo if you can do that.

Cheers
Simo .. who is only taking 2 bikes Brian ... one White and one Yellow .. both Yamahas .. maybe I should chuck the KX on to add a bit of colour  ;D

Received notification from the LDCC manager this morning that BOM have revised their estimates for this weekends rainfall down to 30-50mm.  Much less than what they were expecting a few days ago.

If that's the case it should be on I hope  ;D

i cant believe this Qld weather,,,,, its been 18months sice my last race, the trailer is loaded with 3 bikes, throw some gear in the car, i come inside to make some lunch for tomorrow and then i get the sms, shiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiit....

Since the Aussie Post Classic race is all but cancelled why not use this date for first round of racing instead of a practice day???

Would suit me being a fifo worker.

Speaking of dry seasons, i raced in Alice Springs for 8 years and had 1 wet race...hahahah

Don't get too excited about the F1. Red Bull somehow forgot to put fuel in Webber's car for qualifying and he has to start from the back of the grid.

Yeah how good was the weather today  >:( >:(

Should have had a great day racing at Coles creek today ... how much rain did they get Robo to be too much?  I only ask because I thought on Friday they had only had 2mm ... must have absolutely flogged down on Saturday.  Interested to know just how much they got.

Still .. took the Galaxie convertible for a run with the family so not a total loss  :)

Lol ..not me Robo .. I don't get paid enough for that  ;D.  And I have less faith in the BOM (Bureau of Maybe-ology) than most mainly because it impacts me so much for the disaster response and recovery work I do.  I reckon the rock method as set out below is far more accurate than BOM:

Rock dry – Fair
Rock wet – Rainy
Rock swaying – Windy
Rock has shadow – Sunny
Rock no shadow – Cloudy
Rock white – Snowy
Rock bouncing – Earthquake
Rock under water – Flood
Rock flashing – Lightning
Rock missing – Tornado
Rock difficult to see – Foggy
Rock sideways – Wind storm

No d/c I wainted  till then to eat my lunch as per the web page we will be advised by then more of late lunch joke! mate taken the wrong way by the sounds of it. I was packing the trailer as the news came throught. Got a few laps done Saturday with the sled but was getting  to boggie. I for one are all for helping out and for Peter and the family to drive all that to make the call is disappointing for them and the rest of the Vmx community.here is hopeing for dryer weather    ;)
