2013 Retro MX Series Round 2 - Dargle

[Shaun G]

Dargle on the outskirts of Sydney will be the venue for our next round on Sunday the 23rd of June.

We will be riding with Baulkham Hills again on a track that is a bit different from the area we used when we were last there in 2011. The track will be located further up the valley. This area was used by Baulkham Hills last year. Our Pres, Middo rode at that event and assures us that the layout was very good.
 
In addition to our Retro MX class there may be an opportunity to ride in one of their senior modern classes as well.
 


Entries are now open and are once again limited to the first 30 riders. Payment on the day is fine but submit your entry through http://retromx.com.au/online_entry.html to make sure you are on the grid.

Cheers
Shaun

Is this as a part of the dirt X series?
Just wondering do you only run one VmX class for this meeting? Due to only 30 entrys.

Sorry if it is a silly question!

[Shaun G]

Hi Paul

Not silly questions mate 

We are guests at selected meetings of the Dirt X series (we will also be at Oakdale on July 14) you can find our calendar at http://retromx.com.au/calendar.htm

We are running just the one all in Pre '90 class so yes that is why we are limited to 30 entries.

Cheers
Shaun

All-in, with capacity classes scored separately.

I'm really looking forward to this - Dargle grasstrack was awesome last time, and this will be my first MX race in ages (frighteningly close to 12 months, now that I think about it).

This weekend is shaping up to be a beauty! The organisers have been out to Dargle this week and report that the complex is a lot drier than they expected and think that if there are a couple of small showers out there before Sunday conditions will be ideal.

We have received a good number of entries which I'm sure will see some great Pre '90 racing.

Sign on will commence at 7.00am and conclude at 8.30am. I will be on the sign on table so come and see me for express service 

Canteen will be open for breakfast and lunch.

Cheers
Shaun

Great days racing at Dargle on a track that was a little challenging for the 500's in slippery conditions. Nathan S was able to put his 125 into good effect consistently serving it up to the big bores which was fun to watch. There were some good battles all the way through the field and some interesting lines taken at times 

Thanks to the Baulkham Hills MTC for having us and we are looking forward to our next event with them at Oakdale on July 14.

Cheers

That was a lot of fun - hard work thanks to the conditions, but a lot of fun. Definitely a track to peg back those bloody 500s!   

I was also reminded of the concept of race fitness - riding O30s as well as the pre-90 class left me pretty well spent by the start of the final pre-90 race, and I settled for a pretty ordinary finish after a lousy start.

Big thanks to Shaun and to the Baulkham Hills club for a good day's racing. I'm gonna miss the next round, thanks to an unfortunate date clash.  :'(


The real story of the day is "someone" having a totally uncharacteristical dummy spit and packing his bikes away after one race on each. 
Even my wife described him as a "fair weather racer"...

Hey no problem Pete. Good to see the 490 up the pointy end for a change
