It's been run and won for another year and once again Mcmurdo/Hollaway on thier EML GR Suzuki cleaned up with a 1-2-1 with only a front puncture in race 2 blotting their sheet.
Next was Mattock/Rotheram on Daves EML Yamaha XS and third I think was either Laman/Stumhke on the Ron Ash sponsored EML Yam XS or Popeye Cooper/Higgs on Nicks CR500 air cooled VMC
MY developing Wasp GR650 went very well on it's 1st outing also with a new driver in Dan Yung. It's 27 years since Dans dad and I raced an EML Yamaha XS so it was great to get the chance to assist another newby cut his teeth. We  were never far from the action finishing with a 4th and a 5th but DNFed the last when the starter packed up and we couldn't clutch start no matter how hard we tried.
The track went from being virtually unrideable from rain during the week, to being fantastic by weekends end.
So roll-on Conondale

Great event, we had 9 Sidecars on the line, a couple of crashes but no one got hurt, it was great to see some new people having a go, some of the chairs had a bit of trouble in the mud some didn't, I'd like to thank Nick Higgs for the invite to ride the VMC CR500, great thing to ride Nick just needs to get fitter so we can have a bit more of a go, or I need to wear ear plugs so I can't hear him telling me to slow down, I offered my driving services to EML as we're the only pair that could probably run with Jamie and Wayne, he rode with Daniel Yung in the end which was good to see, as how often would you get to swing for father Boyd then his Daniel 20 years later good job and well done, another new comer was young Chris who rode with Daniel, and Dave Burner who rode with Marshall Shaw, if I can get some pics from some one I will get them put up here..
Can't wait to get my wasp going and there are a few others not far from being ready....
IN IT FOR THE FUN OF IT. LIKE MR NIKE SAYS JUST DO IT.

I thought that too Popeye but the Wasp had just had the GR motor fitted and it needs a fair bit of sorting yet.
As I said....roll-on Conondale.
