Faarrk DJ, put me and the bike slut down for next year, he'll be drooling at that big CR!!. Might have to bring a bunch of guy's eh?.... I'm sure Shane could get a note from his mum. As you know there is a flock of us that want to have ago/another go over there. Did the pom pull a hammy (told me the other day he was gonna sook out). Awesome photos DJ.....I take it you didnt ride?. Is the new shed all done now... how many sheep does it hold? Cheers John.

I have to agree with DJ on how the meeting went, looked very well organised from the non riders viewpoint.
If you think the #1 mugen was flying then you would have loved the #84, have a look how far down the hill he was jumping. Helps that he's only 27 & NZ125 champion less than 10years ago. 1 race it was like he was out trailriding by himself with the actual race going on the full length of the top straight behind him

Give the boys the approax age of the fast guys DJ.... Murray Anderson would be 50 something, flies like a bird!!

WOW  That is just the best track I have ever seen.
Note to self. Hurry up and win lotto so I can go over more often. I feel like I really missed out there.
Murray  Anderson is a previous NZ champ (#1 on the cr480 with a Mugen kit on her).

I see the hunchback of Notre-dame was there ( I am not an animal, just a pommy that thinks he's a kiwi)

[STW996]

Thanks for the info DJ, Great to see the boy's enjoying themselves.

I have said it before the tracks you blokes have over there is second to none and the bikes all look first class.

Now if we could get the two govenments to build a bridge we would all be set

keep the photo's coming boys, the shots are first class and the next best thing to being there.

Gday Men,
We just just got back from the Johnny Old race,my brother Scunge came over from Melbourne,and our Father came up from Chch and was the team mechanic and barman.Huge thanks to Mark "Woody' Wooding for loaning Scott his bike -thanks heaps mate!!!Unfortunately Scunge beat me in the family grudge race 2-1 but we had a blast!
What a track,motocross exactly like it was back in the day.The organisation was the best I have encountered here and over the ditch.
Big thanks to Captain Kirk, Mrs Captain, Terry and all the team.
You Ockers missed an awesome day.
Cheers
Craig

Thanks for all the brilliant piccies DJ. I'll echo what everyone else has said - that's a fantastic track, and the bikes and riders look so good... You guys really have it mailed. I'm envious.

Great Pics Dj ( as usual) but how good is that track and the downhill jump ! i will get to ride Conondale this year but now i have to add that one to the "Must do" list

you blokes definably have the most desirable tracks over there,

[suzuki27]

VMX Valhalla or what! Really nice track and bikes....again.
Must be a nice feeling to have a serious chopper parked on the in-field.

[Davey Crocket]

Just looked at the photos again, I'm asking myself why I went to the Nats, would have been cheaper to fly over there and race. You boys where holding out on that one!. Hows ol Morley Shirrifs going these days?. How did big Les go?, not many sleeps to Conondale now, least I've got something to look forward to.

[MC]

DJ - thanks for posting these pics mite put to bed in the South Island that twin shockers don't fly, proof is in the print, can't agree more about the organisation and running of this one, only a handful of you guy's can compare Jonny Olds to the Aussie CD meets, if this doesn't get close to the CD's then they must be pretty special n something worth traveling to, cheers MC

[DJRacing]

This is a birds eye view of the track taken by Jo Mrs Captain Kirk.


Start line over to the right of the picture it the end of the pits.

John, you know you would've been very welcome. This is the track you missed.

[DJRacing]

MC, the meeting in the weekend (Johnny Old) and CD's are two different things, so they should never be compared. Both are great and everyone needs to attend each meeting at least once.
