It's only Dirt Track FFS , can't be too hard-5 laps of flat-no jumps-I might even doze off.

Results in and EML Norton MX outfit of Nick Higgs won both Aussie titles beating the midgets(kneelers).
Congrats to Jamie McMurdo and Wayne Hollaway by showing that a well set-up 'big wheeler' can get it done.
Popeye and I did ok when Ronnies EML Yamaha was running right winning a couple and finishing second in a couple more but 2 DNSs and 1 DNF didn't help at all.
Adam and Dave did exceptionally well on my 650 WASP since it's just on 1 year since he sat his bum on one.

All good, heaps of fun on the track and off it.
But IF any one finds my arse out there can they please return it to me ? i know i had one as it was handed to me over the weekend, but me and robin left it out there somewhere on the track, all i have left of it is a big bruise and a hole were it used to be.

I need to find it before tomorrow before this turns black.

actually what we were planning to do was use cardboard cut out's or these maniquins dummy below and strap them to the bike with a brick, a tool box and wire the bars in a circle but as you can see from our static display in the pits below, they just werent life like enough so that  plan didnt work.  And i doubt 'Madame tussaute wax worx' has a use for so we ended up having to ride ourselves.

Ended up heaps of fun and by the last race getting a second, we might have been gettign the hang of these little buggers.  Well done Robin !

Ahh Freaky-that's not a bruise, you should see Adam Lamans after the Toowoomba sidecar spectacular---black as!!! Now I call him Black RRRs racing.
Check it on facebook.
When did you get that-or was it an accumulation of the week-end?.

Robin liked to stick me into the cones.  I reckon he was just doing it as i could hear laughing.............. that bruise is my entire arse cheek and the red part is the missing skin.  :'( sorry it was an around the body shot and blurred but you get the idea. Kept adding to it all weekend.

I took an even bigger hit on my hip and that still yellow and moving to a new shade,  that one we caught a wheel on that Bump - mound - hole on the inside turn to dog leg, went up high and landed on the back of the tray Bar ( he almost lost me)  fork that hurt at the time.  but i was too busy trying to get back in and keep a hand on somthing to care... ended up stuckout again and couldnt get back up till we got into the larger corner.  But lucky really. nEVER SEND AN OLD MAN OUT TO DO A KIDS JOB  :D

Looking at the bruises, I now know why i don't ride dirt track any more. This was taken back in 1981> Bike was a YZ80 ridden by Wayne Mayfield. I went through too much gear back then.
You don't have to be, but it helps.
