Doesn't that track make the right hand twitch.
Sadly in my case, the brain say's no you idiot.
I expect heaps of photo's on Sundy.

Hey Mates !!!

Just got a text from Pete.He got a 2nd in the Vintage 750 Feature and 3rd in the Over 50 Feature.Not bad on a converted MotoCross bike.
He made us all proud.
Next weekend another Half Mile on Saturday and The Mile on Sunday.

From Pete last night

Nailed it, happy as.
2nd in 750 Hotshoe, beat by 24yr old Chad Rall no52 how ironic (his pic is on the trophy)
3rd in over 50 class up to 1988, 2 very well prepared 600 Rotax framers pulled away from the twin.
Got 2 second places in qualifying and ended up being put on the second row (was not happy) but sorted that out before the start.
98 entries, big meeting under lights (pic is practice). big crowd even though it rained after practice.Rapt, even had a flat to repair between races



Onya, Pete
Foss

Great result Pete, keep the Oz flag flying mate.
Is there a website or a link to check out some action shots from these meetings?
I've investigated a bit and Chad Rall is a goer on not only Flattrack but Longtrack & Speedway as well so it's a great effort by Pete.
