I have to echo everyone's comments, it was a slick operation alright, although the heat and flies were unexpected. The one thing that I thought could have been done better was practice. 3 laps for riders who've never been to the track before, when they are up against a field deep in Wagga and Griffith riders, was a bit light on. Especially when you consider the condensed program meant plenty of time to spare. Perhaps a good 10 minutes per class would have been better? That said, the racing really was superb, and I am in awe that people can ride TT500s so fast. That guy on #9... That thing ripped, especially the bit where it holeshot every race I saw. And how the hey do you make a DT250D go that quick???
My day wasn't so good... The Husky broke in practice, and the TM was so far out in setup that it barely kept up with the slowest bike in the field. Add that I couldn't get it off the line and my two races were very sad affairs. Better luck next time I guess. I spent most of the day trying to rejet the TM and just sitting around feeling cheesed off so didn't get around to catching up with a lot of people I should have, but as Firko pointed out the camaraderie was excellent. It was a damn fine event, bring on next year (and I'll be better prepared too). So who's up for the Jack Hogg in Feb?
Here's a few pics that my bro took.
