Hi All as you know the Qld titles will be on the 30th August, what you don't know, is that we had a meeting with QCTV today, and they will be there crew in hand, to cover the whole event. Four cameras will be in place so as not to miss any of the action. This will be televised over a 5/7 week period. We need all entries in asap so all names can be put into the programme, and passed on to the producer. Two camera's will be focused on the start, one of the camera's will be on the hill, the other will be positioned beside the start and focused on the riders, names will be read out by the comentator as the camera pans across the riders, If your name is not on the list you wll not be mentioned, so come on riders get those bikes polished, your best riding gear ready, and most important entries in www.brisbanemotorcycleclub.org.au
This is going to be another top VMX event. See you there ;)
Keep Smiling :)

Hey Congratulations Michael 3rd. Puff your chest up and they won't notice your bum ;D ;D ;D ;D This years will be better, from we were discussing yesterday, it can be nothing but better. What will make it run more smoothly is if the comentator has all names in front of him, it will be too late to add names on the day.
Are you riding on the day Michael or just scrutineering?
Keep Smiling :)

As we are doing the OZVMX Tour ,we dropped into the Nudgee track and checked out the facilities and the track soil etc.
What a great spot and two tracks right next to each other with and no neighbours to contend with. :-*
Also liked the big head quarters of next doors despatch of all things MX(clothing). 8)
Is this the track the the title is to be held on ??? as we spoke to Kevin at the track and he said there was an event there this weekend also. :P
nice to catch you for a few sec's at the Nats vandy010 also yourself Wombat. 8)
cheers

good to hear you are getting around and enjoying you Trip Alison & Steven.

will find out this week, am hoping to ride. just need to work around kids :)
if i can't ride i should still be there to help with scrutineering.
who's the comentator?
we kind of miss big old Bobby J.
he's the only bloke i know that could stand in the blinding sun all day long with nothing but a bottle of coke and a microphone and never shut~up. 8)
if TM bill makes it over it'll give the event that international flavour too! 8)
should be good... :)
was cool to catch up with both of you Alison and Steve, even if it was very breif.
seemed there was always something to do at the Nats. time just flew.
enjoy your aussie tour :)

Bills coming, hes going to ride my bikes thanks to 2 broken ribs courtesy of Russell using me as a braking bump in the last over 50s 125 race.He might be bringing a couple of others with him as well.
-
Hey Alison, sounds like your having a hoot of a time. Yes Nudgee track is where it will all be happening on the 30th its a good track, and will only get better once extentions are finished.
who's the comentator?

We're on it :D :D :D

Sorry to hear about the ribs, but glad to hear that we will be graced with the presence of TM Bill ;)
This just gets better and better 8)

TM Bill is certainly becoming the International Mega Star. We'll have to work on him having a ride at the DT Nats toadd to his international experience. ;D

vandy just dont wear your old leathers possibly will make your bum too big for tv
-
Do competitors in the Qld Titles have to wear the race numbers on the back of their shirts?
-
No mention in the supp regs, so I would say no.
-

Numbers are not required on the back of your jersey, however numbers on your bikes will have to comply with the GCR's.
Keep Smiling :)

Just saw the add on TV for the Bridge to Bridge run and its the same day as the QLD titles, does anyone know do they just close half the bridge? We might have to leave earlier than normal and people coming from South might not know its on. Cheers John.
-
I was getting on here to say the same thing. If coming from the south be aware that more than half the Gateway bridge will be closed form early hours of the morning, if coming from the west, traffic is being diverted along Sangate Rd to the East-West bypass.
Either way extra time should be allowed to get to the track on time. Check out www.bridgetobrisbane.com.au for details of the road closures.

sorry about the wibs john :-[
hope you are ok for brissy meet
dont know what i am riding
only have pre78 bikes going
dont want to bring down 125 /250/open pre 78
and then they are short on numbers like last year and
combine pre78 then i would have 3 bikes
for 1 class :'( :'(
might fix monty 250 before the meet maybe ;)
-
Cant wait for the titles I have already put my entry in, now I just have to get the bikes running.
-
Have you got your entry in yet, under two weeks before the titles, keep those entries coming. ;)
Keep Smiling :)

Great news about the TV coverage, that should bring out all the photo hoars like myself or should I say TV hoars. Apparently thats what Graeme Mc calls me. QCTV formerly bris 31 will film the whole event and run a number of shows later in the year.
-
TV coverage for VMX! :o
who~ever heard of such a thing ;D
well done to the BMCC members that helped get this one going...
even with out the TV coverage, Brisbanes little Nudgee track is el~primo pre~75 country.
all within a hop skip and a jump from the CBD :)
so will you be sporting the red bi-plane logo on that Husky Barron?
just for the camera's of course... :)

Yep, take heed of this one!
The Gateway Bridge has BULLSHIT TRAFFIC a lot of the time. Seriously, it can be f*ckin' nightmare!
The road closures and detours will be well posted but be aware everyone will be using them.
The usual beach goers heading north and south to the Gold and Sunshine Coasts will be out in force as well as a squillion joggers. ::)
Hey, how about some big roadside signage advertising the Qld Titles on the day?
Might get a few old dirt dinosaurs diverting to the track for a look. ;) :D

Bring back MOTOR MOUTH I say, we saw him at Braodford and he was in fine form. Nobody seems to know as much as Bob when it comes to bikes and he can make 2 grasshoppers pissing sound like a race-so find out where he is and get him up here!!
-
All booked locked and loaded ( thought I have no idea what bike I will be riding!) looking foward to another Ozzie Adventure.
-
currently trying to get motomouth booked
-
onya shoreline, when he hears the Tv will be there, wild wasps wont keep him away.
-
Is this the race order ? ;) ;D Cause I think those old classic sidecars should be first ;D :P cheers

-
sorry Alison, that shots taken from the flat rack pits ;D
we don't have juniors on our track on race day. :)
i'd like to see the sidecars go out first too actually.
usually the pre~75 125,s kick off the day on a freshly watered track.
ask Brad about the first turn in the wet on a 125 :D
-
Hi vandy010,
Steven took the pic as it's a great idea and easily made up for our club-no more wet chalk and kids inquisitive finger marks on the pit board.
Just had a look at your sup reg and love all the pre75 class's ... :P After Proserpine I didn't know if you where running the modern bikes as well --it sure is all go in Qld :)
Will you have pre 85 or is that how you class the evo, visa-versa 8) ?
cheers
-
Well what a great team we had working out at the track today and WOW...Thanks to all of you, to many to mention and I don't want to miss anyone out, so thanks thanks thanks....
Thanks also for the early entries everyone, so far we have about 70.
Don't forget Sunday will be a very busy morning with the fun run, To avoid the madness some are going to camp overnite, If not camping set your alarm really really early ;D ;D ;D
Or just camp ;)
Keep Smiling :)

Its all good, Bob will be there :)
For those of you who normally would go along Kingsford Smith drive to get to the track: Please Note, it will be closed on Sunday from 5.30am to 11.15
Ladies and Junior ride day was a huge, everyone had a great day, and I think all the munchkins went home with happy faces. The next one will be on the 13th of September.
Keep Smiling :)

-
Vandy 'ol mate Bob is a real nce guy, been known to stretch a story or two but has a heart of gold and knows the sport upside down and back to front.
Like I've said, can call a race between two cockroaches chewing o he wll make it interesting-thankshorline for putting it together.
Bob was the 1st guy to give me a ride on a sidecar crosser and I went all the way to Europe after that so thanks to him I can spiel bullsit like the best of 'em.

G`day bring plenty of change/money as i will be extorting it on some great gear we have for raffles ie 1st prize newac10 michelin knobby,2st oil/t shirts,caps etc.on a different note should we hire a cold room to put the kiwis in,in between races?
-

-
.on a different note should we hire a cold room to put the kiwis in,in between races?
You better add to that cold room..... cold showers and a big fan because its windy, raining and cold here, so the kiwi's wont like anything over 15C and blue skies. Good luck Bill and John, and to all who ride.

Talk about Frequent Flyer Points for the Taupo Terror. Is there any truth to the rumours that you have a new QLD Plaything and a Love Child on the way?

Some years ago (92) we had Bob as the commentator at our superkart nations in QLD and one of the things he requested as payment was a cold carton of VB on ice as his prefered drink during the day ;D and the other thing I remeber about Bob was him doing a lap of Echo Valley on a bike wearing a mic during a round of the Mr Motocross in the 80's and forgot there was a gully jump down the back straight and bit the dust :D but still kept talking!!
