Great venue,rain threatening but never happened. Solid turn out. From a spectators perspective the track looked smooth and flowing but riders advised very tricky with rolling whoops and alternating surfaces demanding maximum concentration. All agreed a great test for man and machine. New section with the "bomb crater" caused a few eyes to be opened wide. Just a little dust towards the end of the day but I've seen worse. Full grids all day. Ray Smith took a tumble and was run over, stayed down for a while but eventually got up. Peter Schoene looked like he needed first aid after wheeling Rays stricken steed back to the pits. Spoke to Peter today who advised Ray attended hospital last night as a precaution but was given the all clear. Some new riders including my neighbour Matt Rossignolli who picked up a trophy on his immaculately prepared 400 Suzuki.There was another bloke (sorry missed his name) on a V75 Montesa who stirred up the Pre 75 boys with some decisive moves.
Many thanks to host club Yarram for their enthusiasm and professionalism it was much appreciated by all at VCM. Stay tuned for some photo's and video (Arno?) and don't forget the next round at the modified Undera venue on 16th June. Cheers Jerry

Hi Jerry were you the chap in the orange vest snapping away around the track? I kept spotting a bloke down the side of jumps and landings as I was scootin around.
-
Not me I'm afraid. Just a non descript bloke wandering around with a borrowed camera poking it into other people's business. Never done it before but I quite enjoyed myself. Might do it again some time. Cheers Jerry
-
Very nice photos Jerry,they have a taste of it all in every shot.
Rocket ship that #54 Jawa,great to see her still out there ! 8)
Cheers A
-
Thanks for posting the pics, wish I coulda been there; hopefully the next one won't coinside with the Mitchell ride day.
-
What a great day put on by VCM and Yarram MCC. Thanks to both who obviously put in alot of effort.
Great shots Jerry. I'll have to copy that one of Kel and give it to him at Undera. The old bloke had a ball chasing Garry on the Monark. Hard to believe he's over 70. The way he rides you'd think he was 20!
-
I new Kel nearly 40 years ago and he was an old bastard then! J
-
Not much has changed in that regard!
-
Hi all Just posted some Photos from the Yarram round on the VCM web site, they where taken by Trevor McDonald from Birnsdale HL
-
Some good shots there Henry, was a good day. Hopefully I can get a Conrod for my 400f and bang bars with you again in our first corner tussles at underra! I won't give you so much "racing room" next time haha!!

A couple from the day...

Ha Ha Mark did you ever considerd that I might just back of a bit to keep every one keen. !!!!!!! HL
-
Don't move the goal posts on me Henry!!
-
Great shots! Crap all over mine. J
-
Your shots were great Jezza. I spotted a couple of old mates in there.
Ramo and Wilko. cheers Mark
-
Nothing wrong with your shots Jerry. You can take action shots all day and never capture the atmosphere of the meeting, your photos captured the core existence of vintage MX - Mateship and Fun.
There are also more shots here if you are interested - www.oldschoolmotophotos.weebly.com
