HEAVEN Round 5 at Canberra

[Graeme M]

The HEAVEN (NSW) Club will be holding Round 5 of their 2007 series at Canberra's Fairbairn track over the weekend of 22/23 September. The ACT track is at the best it's ever been and the HEAVEN events always boast a big rollup, so come along and enjoy a weekend of the best VMX racing around.

Not long now until the Canberra round. Once again family commitments kept me from the CRC, but as far as I can see I'll be free for the whole weekend this time. AND... with luck I can debut the TM or RM 125. That should be interesting. Fingers crossed for great weather too, I'm getting sick of riding in the cold...

Any changes to the track from earlier this year ?

Yes mate we Have ship in 200m2 of Loam .
Made the first 4 berms all about 6Ft hight  and the inside is Loam .
3 to 4 lines .
Open up the Back strait now faster.
Change the Stutters 3 in a row small t top and a 2 in a row .
 
Now if you all do not want to do the Stutters Start let Heaven know .
Then I / Heaven than can do something be for the Event.

Now ACT.M.C.C Dose have two showers at the MX track and two more at the DT track .

By the way it is Now Open and will have Rec Day Every Sunday

I do Think that Camping is OK But you need to Find OUT from The Heaven End of things as Heaven Run the two days Meeting
Not ACT.M.C.C

[Stewart Allen]

Thanks Dennis, I am generally not too excited about stutters, due to my severe lack of ability. Are they in the same spot as the 4 were earlier this year ?

[oz555ktm]

Yes the Lay out is the still the same .

[Graeme M]

The whoops aren't too bad at all. They have been rounded off and can be just rolled or jumped. If you are good enough it looks easy to double-double-double. On the other hand, if you are like me you'll 1.5, single-single-double in a sort of sickening crashing way. But it doesn't get too ugly due to the low speed.

And Dennis is right, the rest of the track is superb. Last time I rode there, a month or so back for a rec day, it was just brilliant. I guess it would all flow better and be easier on the older bikes if the whoops were taken out, but for myself I'm easy either way.

And yep, the DT is open at long last! With a practice day each Sunday for the next few weeks. Not sure when the first one is tho. Is it this weekend Dennis? Book me in for a practice on the 2 September. Gotta get training for the DT Nats.

[Graeme M]

*Update*  I have been told that the whoops/stutters will not be included in the track for the HEAVEN round. That means that there should be no difficult obstacles on the course at all. Most corners are quite flowing, the track surface is currently superb, and all the tabletops except the top couple are very smooth low angle take-off ramps. It should be a brilliant track for all vintage classes. Ya gotta be there!!!

Heaven should just leave the track design AS IS if they have used the stutters in the past which they HAVE and have had no probs/accidents on them. Why remove them from the track.

LEAVE THEM IN PLEASE.

[Rosco400]

Those stutters are no good for the old bikes running down pipes, last time I rode there, flattened out a new GMC pipe on the Maico,popped it out of the barrel, im happy enough to bypass em

They have changed significantly since the last HEAVEN round there. They got insane for a while - like most of the 250Fs couldn't do anything decent over them insane - and are now back to much more sane level, but still bigger/nastier than they used to be.

[oz555ktm]

OK OK 2 weeks out to the Canberra round .

Yes we will be making the track easier .

So who is coming .

By the Fernando is Band form any camp fire party's . I cant handle the
sore head and the lack of sleep .
Going to bed a 4am and then getting up at 7am and then trying to ride all day .
I will be out to get a win back on my good Friend Darren Milton on his
Honda 125 Cr .
I had a Ball in the 125 race at CRC .

Also I will be trying to keep Snowy behind be as well.

I will start getting the track ready on sunday night after the rec ride that the ACT. mcc will be running on this sunday .

[Graeme M]

Ah well, of course all us Canberra boys will be there. I'm racing the Husky, but if I can get the 125s running I'll bring them out Saturday to try to run them in. Might even race one of them. As for that Gezza character, what is he doing??? He's sold the '83 CR and bought a later model one... I think that means he can't race HEAVEN anymore till they go Pre90. Guess he can just be my pitcrew...

[Nathan S]

I'm hoping to make it out there on the Sunday. Got a rallysprint on the Saturday.

Gotta get a bike or two running first...  
Hoping to bring the CT1 and, um... maybe the YZ125E? 250G? Everything else is in bits! Have wondered about sticking a stock 175 engine into the DT125 for the ultimate pre-75 250 weapon*

*May not actually be the ultimate. May not be a weapon at all.

Thanks to Nathan,
(who despite rumours to the contrary is a champion)
I'll be entering the EVO 125 fold to give chase to Dennis and Darren
Cheers
