Parwan Rd motocross track

[jady]

Is the motocross track at Parwan Road, Bacchus Marsh open at present? Anyone know opening times and cost to ride there? Hoping it is a better track than Broadmeadows.

Thanks Peter... I'd prefer a club practise day but can't ride Sunday, and I need to get some riding in. I'll get my RM back together tonight and try Parwan Rd track tomorrow... new brake pads, new footpegs, should be good...

Yep a nice 34 degrees for you to ride in.

Jeez, didn't think about the weather... oh well, a beer will taste even better afterwards

I was there this morning and the top track was quite good (pity my clutch wasn't. :'()

If you just need some bike time and you've got a crap set of tyres, go for it.

The tracks are totally unmaintained at Parwan, so it can be a good workout on a rough, rock hard surface.  If you practice there every week, it would be great prep for something like Supermoto.

Good on them for keeping it open though, it's a great place for little kids & novice adults to learn.  Lots of open space.

I ended up getting tp Parwan Rd motocross track around noon; it was hot alright, but a cool breeze blew gently across the speedway next door, picking up that sticky orange dust; now my old RM looks like an orange KTM!

By 4pm I had the track to myself and was enjoying the laps, until I ran out of fuel up the back of the intermediate track... so a nice long push back to the pits. Oh well, nobody left there to laugh at me I guess. I can't believe how much fuel an RM500 goes through!

Next time I'll get ready earlier, as they said there were a few other "old bikes" there in the morning..

Here's a google sat photo of the track: http://maps.google.com.au/maps?f=q&source=s_q&hl=en&q=Parwan+South+Rd,+Parwan+Victoria+3340&sll=-37.778496,145.016047&sspn=0.006275,0.012982&ie=UTF8&cd=1&geocode=FeMswP0dN2GcCA&split=0&hq=&hnear=Parwan+South+Rd,+Parwan+Victoria+3340&ll=-37.745319,144.469485&spn=0.007992,0.019205&t=h&z=16

I always run out fuel/breakdown at the furtherest point of the intermediate track!  . It's the better track to ride on as it's more technical and most of the 'knobs' grow tired of it and go back to main track after a couple of laps. I seem to through a lot fuel there as well.
