Mr VMX 2011 Discussion

[hampster]

Many thanks.

To the Hunter Club and to all the officials and every body that helped out , a great day was had by all i did not see one unhappy face.

I had a mixed day in pre 75 with bike problems and a crash in race two in the first corner i hope all are OK.

The 10 min plus one let's you come back if you get a bad start, That,s me last every time.

Let hope this gets bigger.

Thanks Chris.

Dean was lapping @ 2 minutes flat on Saturday in practice  on His Rm 400  which would give you around 5 laps ...... what did this equate to when the aqua turn up  4 laps

The ‘lively’ commentator was Harry Ham, the father of new KTM Race Team boss & racer Danny Ham, so he knows how to talk Motocross, (and plenty of bullsh..t too). He was a fellow member of Belmont & District MCC.
Many thanks have to go to Glenn Pickering, Dan Tydd, Mick Connolly, Roger Starkey, Greg Scriven & Les Richters as the main men for getting the concept off the ground.  So lets see next year get even better.

I’m just glad I survived all the ‘free beauty pack’ mud on bike and body so I could pinch the Merrick Accountancy sponsored trophy…thanks ever so much Turtle!

I think you will find he was even quicker than that in the wet

[vmxrider]

Great day but still getting the bike clean, how's everyone else going?

Very corrosive water/mud, every thing that was bare alloy is tarnished and all bare metal instantly rusty. Bike aged a bit more than usual. 

[Kenneth S (222)]

Bit of luck involved I must say 

Having a well prepared bike, staying upright & placing highly in 4 x 6 lap motos in what would have to be some of the worst conditions you could race in doesn't sound like luck to me! Its sounds like a true Motocross win. Well played Monty

Your not wrong there!

Brett had too wash the bikes twice to get the mud out and well lets just say the new DG bare pipe looks like it was one from the early 80's!!
