Hi all,
Entries have been flooding into the Maico head quarters, looks like being a big one at the famous Wonthaggi MX Circuit. Mr Maico has been perfecting his Mega 2 pancakes & Maple Syrup in the workshop, anyone up early on Sunday morning whose up to it, the AW replica BBQ will be hot an running ;D ;D ;D
Also, the old boys bought a Plasma with a built in DVD player, so anyone with their favorite MX dvd's or whatever, bring them down. Mr Maico's favorite AC/DC DVD will be 1st in. Lets have a big weekend, we'll be bringing some firewood.
Heard Perko will be having a crack at the record on Sat night :D :D
Thanks Mr Maico #54
-

Apparantly the meeting is postponed until the 12th, as the track is under water. Just got the phone call now. I'm sure the Viper comittee will post the details.
Cheers,

The Viper Committee advises thet round 5 at Wonthaggi has been postponed till the 12th July.
Unfortunatly the track is under water and we have to change date.
We have no other options avalible we know that this will be a pain to some people but we want to get the round in
and not cancel it outright.
Andy Viper #70
-
Too Bad , but at least the longterm forecast is looking good for the end of next week.
The track should be brilliant after this rain and then a few sunnydays.
-
Thank God for that. A reprive. I should have stopped soiling my pants by next Sunday (the flu) :-[
-
Way too much information ross
Andy Viper #70
-
just because you have the swine flu ross you dont have to act like one
-
No forkin way i cant make it next weekend , i wonder if my old man would have his 70th at wonthaggi ,he probably would mum will be the stumbling block .
-
Tell your Dad to stop thinking about himself for a change Hilly (I can't believe how selfish some people can be....... ::))
-
Thats the problem its a surprise party .i spose it would still be a surprise if i rang him from Wonthaggi . this is gonna take some slick work as it is in the Arvo i might make the first few races . Hhhhmmm.
-
Fellas.Long term forecast is for sun later in the week but rainy again on Sat/Sun!
-

Hi guys, having my first VMX race this weekend at Wonthaggi and really looking forward to it.
Any advice for a first timer?? What's involved in scrutineering, just a quick check over the bike and helmet?
-
Did U hear that 440??? Fresh fish, fresh fish..... hey force, good luck on the weekend. Advice??Keep clear of number 1 he has trouble dodging people ;)..... U should be right with scrutineering they're no nazis & happy to help get your bike sorted if it somehow (i don't know how) fails to make it through... have fun :D
-
Might be a good idea to take care of the obvious things: no loose spokes, throttle returns ok, handlebar ends plugged, lever ends aren't snapped off, footrests in good shape, etc.
I was actually pulled up by an official at Wonthaggi last year for wearing a jersey with 3/4 length sleeves (my ignorance), so make sure your gear at least looks respectable.
Have heaps of fun (you will), and if (when) you're passing me, go easy on the roost!

roll up to the track (just under 1 hr from dandenong) with plenty of time to spare. relax it will be a fun day. scrutineering is casual, so don't worry. make sure your bars are plugged at the ends, spokes are tight and wheel bearings good. walk around and chat to people where you pit and ask questions if you are unsure of format. print out the race format from the VIPERMX.com or email viper and stick it to you car window and high light your races. if you are worried about the start gate let them all go and take off a second later and enjoy the ride till you get your confidence.
VIPER are a great bunch of people you will have a ball, trust me.
-
Thanks guys appreciate the advice. Bike should be fine, I bought it restored from Bendigo Dirtbikes and it's been at Powerhouse this week getting the forks done amongst other things. I hope to avoid the red mist and take it easy Sunday. ;D
-
hey devilman why are you not there need some one to wear the roost by the way my swingarm needs some payback got a cammera at the back corner for all the action
-
hopefully it should be a good fun day tomorrow with what ever the weather brings us... i rang a local down there today and apparently they had light on and off showers today. 8)

Hi all,
What a great day it was today with a good turnout. The track, although looking a little wet upon arrival, the sun shined, the wind blew & the track dried out nicely. Some great racing prevailed. Congrats to the winners & placegetters. Poor Andy Marshall took a decent tumble, not needed after his return to the track after his last shoulder incident, but he is ok.
Thanks to the Dandy Club for their efforts.
Mrs Maico #54
-
Yes what a greatday.Many thanks to Dandy Club ,especially Peter Hall who did most of /maybe all the track work.It was excellent.
Thanks also to Macca for the commentary.He really adds a bit to the atmosphere.
It was good too see all the crew again - 2 months since Ravo - a bit too long.
I reckon its been a cracker of a year so far, can't wait for Barrabool and Monza. :)
-
what a wicked day, along time between drinks and that hit the spot nicely! thanks to everyone involved, some great racing and perfect conditions.
-
Great Day DMCC
I would just like to say a big thankyou to Dawn Baker.
Signin , Points etc
The lady is a legend
Stu
-
Maico Stu, thankyou for the compliments, but its all in a days work, so to speak.
Its Mr Maico's birthday today, ironic to say, he is 54 & this was his A grade race no from back in the day !
We really enjoy the Viper & the Classic crew, no drama's at all & happy to lend the Maico's to those competing at the upcoming Nationals in Conondale, just make sure you bring back the Gold ;D ;D ;D ;D
Mr Maico says the esky full of beer & soft drink is a big plus :D
Mrs Maico #54
-
Awesome half a day i'm spewing i could only ride till lunch coz the track was awesome up till then and would have been faster in the arvo . Despite the hurdles everyone involved in running the meet did a top job and as usual i had a ball .thanks Viper & DMCC .
-
Didnt get to say gday hilly, apart from with a helmet on! Catch ya at the next one, the track was superb from about the point i see your trailer pullin out the gate ::) hopefully someone got some pics of how good the track was, there was some very close racing and everyone was on the gas yesterday!
-
Yes, big thank-you to everyone who made this event happen.
Tex
-
Yeah no worries jimmy .I had a top day racing all morning and my dads 70th party in the arvo and Emma spent the morning practising sliding around the junior track in the clay .How fast was Hiekki Mikola on the Husky 4T . Hey Macca did you get me his autograph ?.
-
that guy on the husky 4t was smooth and fast, was a pleasure to watch him glide on by like he was on rails.... :-[
-
Aaaahhh i see KB171 has turned up i remember him telling me that he wasnt sure how he would go on the CR250 and would just tool around at the back of the pack .What a surprise after holeshotting and leading for 2 laps someone that looked just like KB171 slipped past me and roosted off into the distance . Nice ride KB .

-
Thanks motomaniac, glad you like the photos.
You can get some good shots if you get up close & walk around the track. They were all taken with a little Canon IXUS55.

Thank You ! My Buddy said that the shots of Him and Me are about the best that his seen.It actually looks like we are racing!My only question is why weren't you in there with us ? (45+evo races)
-
that guy on the husky 4t was smooth and fast, was a pleasure to watch him glide on by like he was on rails.... :-[
That guy was Mikael Amberntsson, son of Kel .Kel has been around for ever but moved back to Sweden a few years ago.He actually represented Sweden in the Classic MXdN's.
They recently came back to OZ (last year) and Kel started back racing his Monark in VCM events.
Mikeal also rode some VCM's on his 510 Husky .I think Wonthaggi was his first VIPER mett though.
Looks like he has the OldMamsjeans , I mean genes.Checking through the results he rode 4 class's on that thing(must be fit) EVO 4 stk, EVO Expert, EVO over 300 and PRE 85 over 300.He collected two class wins and two second places.
No noise's afterwards except applause at presentation.
Welcome back Kel and Mikael great to see you joining in the fun again :)

Geez MotoMan. Too much info for our Northern Cousins there.
