Harrow Vinduro July 30-31st.
« on: January 20, 2011, 01:09:14 pm »
 Harrow is locked in for July again; 30-31st. We are looking at looping the course back into the town and caravan park if we can overcome some land use issues. That will make it a 40km loop but this time we are setting up a checkpoint at the blue metal Glenelg River crossing on Lauchie Turner’s property. This will make the course a figure 8 loop which will let riders take a shorter course if they want. However, Bronze medals will be handed out only when completing the full figure 8 loop once. Again, the scramble track will be open for set up and practice and as a bonus we will be creating a sand track down on the flats as well. It looks like the NSW boys will be fielding a Vase Team this year; bring it on! I hope to get Team Maico NSW up again too. A reconstituted Team Husky Vic will be rebuilding bikes and riders for this event as well. I can’t wait to see what shenanigans the BusBoyz get up to this time too. The buzz is all about creating interesting teams to try and take out the prestigious Barossa Photography Team Trophy (alias the TTTT- think about it) Even more exciting is the confirmation that some exotic imported machinery from Italy has landed and we will have a real Italian ISDT Team member coming over especially for Harrow. Our fame is growing. Book in the dates and be there.

...and I forgot to add; Sam Mac from ADB and Tom Foster from Trailbike Adventure have confirmed. We should make their heads spin with the rare stuff they can try - Rokon, OSSA, SWM etc.

Sorry Mick ... yep, I'd pulled them off EBT for my photo album.   Then pulled them down - into
here, to promote Harrow ...
Other pix are Tony T and mine ... may be one or two there by Peter ALLARD too?

Thanks Mick - Rog

No worry's Rog I always like to promote Vinduro and spend money having a forum doing just that, I just love the old bikes :) that one I took of Steve Juzva I have on a few forums and I was lucky to get that roo shot because with all the bikes about they were not in the mood for a photo shoot  ;D

Cheers Mick.

Thanks Mick.   I saw those roos run right through the track.  Couldn't believe it ... as, we
were all using it at time I think.
I was stoked that you managed to snap them actually doing it.

Can't wait for Drakeford to make a MUCH SHORTER LOOP (with get-out clause/exit point)
of the figure-eight so that rank amateurs like me don't have to suffer the full-on course of last year!!!

See you near the border in the middle of winter, then!

I will be there, I love the property and land owner Lauchie Turner is a top bloke glad to hear he is going well again.

Cheers Mick.

Me to my bike sucked a base gasket at the first creek crossing  :-\ but I still pinged and ponged and rattled  ;D my way around one 36K loop before I put it on the trailer, stuff driving 6 hours for nothing, hopefully 3rd time lucky I might have a good running bike....

Only the date at this stage. I'm guessing it will be a similar format to last year - practise on the Saturday, with the main event on the Sunday.
