Those photos are great DJ.. The track looks awesome!
I'd love to come over and ride a track like that someday.

The rain came down the night of the Johnny Old and the clean up was as much fun as the racing the day before. Thats how steep the drop off was, just add water and you have a hydroslide.

I would have to say it would be one of the best events I have ever raced at 8) Jo & Owen are talking about the event being two years apart around the same time so start saving & if Steven wants to come I think I have a spare XL350 or two he could ride ;D

We gave one to every Auzzie there John, but the Taylor brothers wanted to share one so we still have one for you left over.  :P   ;D

The mud slide had a wee help from a garden hose from the trough on top of the hill. The speed these kids were traveling was unreal. Our boy had a ball. All OSH approved of course!

Looking at running event in two years if all go with land owner/leasee.

Maybe we should put entries online now for it?

Cheers for all the good comments, remember, an event is a TEAM effort and boy did we have the most incredible team you could ask for!!

Dont worry John, we can take the sheep to the Woodstock for you, no pressure!!  ;) 

This is along the top straight and when you have Murray Anderson on his CR480 Mugen and a very fast YZ490 owned by the Shirrif family riden by Sam Coombs you can have a guess how fast they were going.

Now all the old memories are coming back....chasing sheep in the car, giving it a gentle nudge, throwing it in the boot and taking it home, dressing it up, arghhhh, wont be able to sleep tonight!
