OK guys heaps and heaps of - yep I'll be there - can I get an entry form, etc etc. Its time to get those entries in please

Don't forget to order a meal for the presentation. Pre-orders for meals only I'm afraid.

This should be a great event. back to the traditional long weekend date.

Saturday afternoon is the Canowindra Cup events, Sunday morning/early afternoon Heaven point score races Sunday afternoon option racing/rec riding.

Please get those entries in as it makes it so much easier for everyone as you breeze through sign on and it also ensures a One Event Licence if you need it.

Yesterday was absolutely fantastic. Excellent, loy-key organisation with some excellent racing.

Towing a rake behind the water truck is a brilliant move - as well as turning the water into the surface, it also kills off the ruts and stops the track becoming single-line.

Personally, I had a great day - the cheapy RM125D survived (and is a pretty good race bike), managed a couple of top-five places, and overtook a CR500 on a 1976 model 125.
Although blowing up the YZ125 at the exact same moment I got lapped was a bit ordinary...  ;D (two events totally unrelated, BTW).

Big thanks to everyone who made it happen - hope today goes as well as yesterday.

Yet another great weekend at Canowindra. A big thanks to everybody involved, well worth the 1336 km round trip. Most of all a really big thanks to my sponsers Stewart, Mike and Peter thanks for the loan of your bikes Honda xr 250, Can Am 600 Sonic and Honda cr250 all good fun.

Best Canowindra Cup Ever. Thanks to the hard working committee people and the locals like Mr XL Greg, Mr Whispers and Mr Roger and their mates.

Special Hooray to Roscoe #14 who was riding like the 16 year old that is trapped in his 40 something body. Brilliant to watch and race against.

Also to the crew that had sponsored rides through Troy Bayliss.  They cleaned up in the trophy collecting stakes. Great to see the winners smiles being shared around. SWM's and pristine YZ 125's at the front of the pack. Outstanding effort.

And last on my highlights list and really was the best racing of the weekend was the Pre 1965 tussle between Capt'n Carl on his Triumph twin Metisse and return rider Ian Stevens on his newly purchased Jawa single Metisse. Two A grade racers going head to head and toe to toe, swapping first for second time and time again over the 6 lap races.

Big thanks to Kev Brown for getting the Jawa to make noise and stay doing so all weekend.

Real team effort from Team Metisse - Wollongong.

Once again well done to all the doers that make these memories happen.

Cheers

Pete
