Pretty cool track yeah. Old Mate was having a good crack on the KX. Makes you wanna book a spot on that container for next year! (I wonder if there were any Monts there?)

That's my mate Ian on the KX doing the filming. Might have to have a word with him about popping over to visit next year.

A great event. I rode it in 2006 on a 74 Yam MX 250 and 2007 on a 80 Cagiva MXR 250. But since Dave King and the team have taken it over, they seem (I'm looking at the picies from Tas now) to have raised the bar considerably.

just got back today totally rooted
had a unreal experiance
the meeting was huge works bikes everywhere swap meet parts
that you would not believe more motorhomes than a motorhome show
the track what can i say it was unreal very rough long 20 min races
full gates 48 to 50 riders all classes
i rode the over 50s as well you got 3 laps practice 1 sighting 2 timed for gate pick
i was in first practice  they watered the piss out of the track all night so it was greasy
as an eel in a bucket of grease paul is right coming down those steps its nearly verticle
and with water on it  i posted 13th fastest in the slime so i was happy with that
by the time we got out for des nations practice the track had dried so it was quite good
john siezed his cr480 on second lap so got a shit pick on gate
we all had a bit of bike set up issues but we just kept riding and working through them
overall we all went ok very fast riders and you are allowed 1 rider 35-40 year old
lots of ex gp riders in nations cup and  long motos german and belgiums were on
bikes bristling with works parts  very trick overall we circulated and didnt crash
although on the last few laps i think my hands nearly came off the bars 4 times a lap
having seen and ridden the track to do it again i would ride my own bike  and i would know what to expect had a good run in second over 50s race got holeshot and was circulating in sixth till i stalled on last lap  :'( ended up dropping this class too many races still ended up doing 4x20min
and 2x15min so i was rooted had trouble hanging on in last moto blisters on hands
brad john and chris all rode well and we had a awesome time  thanks to dave king
and andy gregory for the bikes highlight of the weekend apart from racing
was jeff leisk riding and josh coppins on maico 490 and just meeting everyone
anyway enough for now i am going to bed zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
cheers rusty

What an awesome weekend!  The biggest and best vintage motocross i've ever been to.
It was like being at a Grand Prix, the crowd was huge, the atmosphere unreal and the track was excellent.. long, wide, fast, big hills and bloody rough! 20 min motos were real hard work. The guys out front were unbelievably fast..they'd run at the front of a modern pro race back here.
I couldn't believe the amount of Maicos and there were so many trick bikes loaded with 'works' parts and even a few works bikes out on the track.
Dave King as his boys JohnnyT, Chris and Bermbasher were fantastic guys and helped us in any way they could making sure we had everthing we needed... many thanks to them.
I seized my bike saturday morning and a guy known as Maico Matty who i met walking the track thursday kindly offered me the use of one of his Maicos so thanks to him i was able to keep racing.
Also thanks to Dave for reopening the bar Sunday night after the barman went home.. we had a blast and all went home hungover with big smiles on our faces.
I highly recommend the trip to anyone thinking about going and hope to be able to go back again soon.

Ditto what John said.
 Made some friends on the other side of the planet. Great guys, shite beer. The cider started to agree with me by Sunday night though!
Much better atmosphere than the MXDN! I think more people as well!
We couldn't believe our eyes with the sheer number and quality of bikes. Trick/works stuff everywhere.
Again thanks to Dave, Berm basher, Simon, John, Chris (Woody) and Matty. It was great just walking through the pits chatting with everyone.
The trip is highly recommended. 5 stars!
