Brad
A big well done to you and all the Queensland boys who ventured to the chilly climes on the weekend, by the looks it was hard going but looks like you and JT (aka Davey Crocket) weathered the weather and soggy stuff to produce a few well fought out results. We were all keeping a keen eye on the forum for up to the minute happenings and results.
In fact, a big well done to all particpants and organisers of the event.

Hey Guy's  :-)

Thanks for putting on a great show at Broadford, I got roped-in as a commentator for the weekend, my roadrace club (Preston) was asked by MA to run the event at the last minute because apparently some other clubs backed-out.  So all the workers for the 3 days are roads racers and were all a little vague how things operated.

They are hoping that you guy's will return the favour and come help at a roadrace ;-)

Because I'd raced MX in the 70's & 80's and did a stint at Trail & Track Magazine in the mid 80's, the club railroaded me into commentary, I would have been lost without Peter Drakeford's help.  Appologies to the guy's who's names I got wrong, especially Arno Franz, they had you name around the wrong way on the time sheets, I wasn't to know any different..... oops.

Now I have the classic MX bug..... real bad! (thanks!)  I think I need an RM250B now  ;-)

Congrats to Drakie and the Preston club for a hard job well done, a few little niggles to sort but a great show overall.
I too also decided that the even more mud and bumps on Sunday weren't going to be good for my health, after sliding off the track on a downhill and nearly hitting a tree on Saturday. My fault but hey, gotta give it a go!
So watching the guys who were racing sunday was inspiring, and man some of the front runners really can peddle super fast, even in rough rutted slippery mud.
I dont what I expected, but Gary Jones was impressive, just got faster and stronger all weekend. He figured in most of the lead battles, and was banging bars with lots of guys.
Besides him, and Jimmy Ellis, other racers who impressed were Andrew Bailey, Henry Leatham, Tony Cavell, BAd Brad VanBarrelo, Boagy, the Smiths and Herberts.
Who else do you nominate? Add to the list.
