I would like to thank all the people behind the scenes who got the Aussie Dirt track titles off the ground, considering i remember a time when the talk was no Club wanted to do it in 2011 !! So Regardless of how well or how badly anyone rates these events on a personal level, we all must appriciate the fact that they have put in the yards to give us a chance to ride the event at all. So thanks Col and Tanner for getting this thing to the start gate.
For the record I had a great time. Pocket is much much lighter ( probally over $20 a lap) but worth it. great track too.
Got to meet some of the Brisbane Forum people over the weekend so was good to see some faces, good to catch up with some old ones like the Brisbane mafia - Brad,Tatey,Doggee, the griffith mafia - grasy and pete lee, sydney siders, turtle ( some strong hole shots all weekend), matcho mick and crew, heck i spent all weekend saying hi to someone. even the trolley boys popoye and co, good to say hi finally.
My sincerest thanks must go to Robin for picking me up from the airport and giving me a ride on the sidecar for the weekend and a great laugh hanging on it was too.
Stewy"old fart' lemon for letting me stay over at his place for a few nights and even making his lovely wife get up on her day off and take me to the freeway to meet dave at 6 am.
Dave Tanner for letting me punt around his little TM125 all weeekend and even bringin the gas. she finished every race so you couldnt ask for more. Also for giving me a lift to the track each and everyday ( and yes i survived his high speed 'Skillmiester'driving) and the airport carpark
So a big thank you to all that help me keep livin' the dream.
But my last thank you is to Alison for being such a consistant poster. I was lucky enough to win the "vmx247" entry with the post guess ( i was in early so i reckon my handicap would have been good) i think i picked around 650+ posts in the entries open period, man can she post............ anyway thank you to whoever organised the prizes and for roger for drawing it, i sat it on my lap all the way home on the plane - i just love it to bits. Love the colour, everything. His detail and bike knowledge is great, but the steel shoe just cracks me up , its great . So a big thank you and know its greatly appreiciated.
Im sure i have missed people and to those i say thanks too. Looking forward to seeing some of you in Sept for the Big one, and to the others at the DT in 2012 !
