A good day's racing, that one.

Personally,  I think I've finally got my confidence back after busting my fibula two and a half years ago. Got a second and a third on the MX250A, and felt good on both the YZ125s.

Bloody Bill C was on fire. I told him that printing a silly (but funny) name on his riding jersey didn't give him the right to hose us young blokes, but he didn't listen.

Young Reece Shepheard was also impressive, including making the Shardman work hard in the pre78 all powers race.

Man! THAT's how to photograph a vintage race meet. Those are brilliant, really does the day justice.

Yep, plenty of great photos from different angles & corners.  This one showing SHardmans Elsinore trying to run over Carls Triumph Metisse. SHauny did get past & win but. I watched on from behind (had my good eye on them!)
It was a hard fun event with No accidents, fantastic considering the tracks a little too supercrossy.
The entry numbers looked a lot like near 100 to me. It was even fun to corner marshal and watch Deano Burt, Jody Perry & the Beverly brothers going at it & firing over the table tops.
Junior rider Beverly the only one clearing all the jumps....amazing.... (he was on a new 125 but).

I like this one:

Just won't mention that Snowy blazed past three corners later...

Did you crash the Husky 125 in the first turn, or just look like it?

Impressive, very well done. Also enjoyed the Satriani guitar.
