Some pics from Nudgee Classic MX

[Doc]

only a few pics from the early part of the day and nothing great..a migraine last night had me feeling woosy so I didn't stay long. I do have some vid footage too but it's quite shakey and the perfect indication of the operators condition. I'll get that up soon as poss.

Arrived just in time to perform open heart surgury on Don Thortons  Sickman ( loose nut on crank RHS )
In all the weather was great and so was the racing . Got the camera out  ah shit flat battery ... only two shots   
Brad in action at the start and went on to win the race

sorry I couldn't hang around Stew, I split pretty quick as I went downhill badly once the racing got underway. Spent the rest of the day very quietly indeed. Sorry for departing without formal goodbyes but neccessity forced the situation I'm going to have another go at this vid tonight, I got the movie onto the computer fine but there's no sound and silent VMX sucks!

Got high on all that 2 smoke plus  all motivated as usual     Young Don  Newell a ( 74 Y/O ) was out there giving it to some of the riders half his age and not holding back at the start .

speaking of Don Newell,
he's still got it when it comes to starts!
if it wasn't a holeshot he was in the front bunch of riders and smooth as!
track was fantastic and definately one of the best surfaces you'll ever put a bike on!
if anyone is ever thinking of doing a brisbane meet, get into it and you'll have a ball!
get well soon Doc.

Nice photos Doc; I took a few but I'm having trouble loading onto the page.
Any hints?
I took a photo of two blokes doing 'open heart' on a Rickman; I'm guessing oldfart was the Surgeon in the black t.shirt?
And where was 090 - I was hoping to buy a couple of the old school stickers he was bringing along?
Were you there?

[090]

Yeah Wombat, i was under the same Holden tent with Wayne (dodgey), Stew and Mark. I abbreviate the 090 with the vintage scene. My bikes run the #90. I had a great time on the weekend, even though the results didn't come for me. Brought 4 bikes and broke 3. DOH! They call me Cassanova,everything i touch, blah blah.Call me if you want some. 0417192302. Cheers,Brad.

Some more pics from Nudgee, this time from Jackie Mac.

[Doc]

and here's a little vid..not the greatest but you'll get the general idea 
I couldn't drag the sound out sadly so the best part of my camera work is missing  actually I had a better vid done and clicked save only to have my computor fatal error and dematerialize the vid into cyberspace  this was a quicky cause it took too bloody long the first time  a little tip, click the smaller screen tab beside the volume for a better pic..large size pixelates and it's very painful on the  optics

Great video Doc; your movie and Jackie Macs crystal clear photos are a good record of the day.
I've given up trying to post my few photos from the event - thanks for those earlier hints Oldfart but I get lost in these things.
I tried several times but I'll have to send photos to Graeme until the Guru at work returns and can walk me through it.
