2012 Classic MX Championships

[SLAWESY]

Great days racing at the Pre 78 Championships, could not want better weather, or a better venue.  40 strong gates made for brilliant racing. Unfortunately Qld’er Mitch Semmens badly broke his arm and it ended his day. Brad Van Barello just about won every race he was in, absolutely dominated and does not look like slowing down as the track cuts up with use.

I have uploaded a few photos, not too good but better than nothing.  Spectator viewing was quite a distance from the track so it made getting really good shots hard unless you had a big lens. Going again tomorrow, hoping the weather holds out as another top day is on the offering.  Every one I spoke to were happy with the track, hopefully we will get to use it again after the Nats,

Jeez this's a decent save

Your not kidding KB171.. I did not know that I had that shot as the camera was on auto. If you saw the photo on its own you would have to think he "binned" it...

Lucky he went on a diet recently.
Proof that preperation is important.

Looks fantastic. The organisers/volunteers deserve a big pat on the back and a few free beers. Bloody hell that is great advertisement for VMX, a full field , everyone and the track well presented and spectators/marquees in the background.Top stuff.

Just wishing Col,Glenn all the helpers,volunteers and most of all the competitors a great nationals!!
I wish I could have engineered it so I could be there but it wasn't to be.
Since 2006 this will be the second nats I have not been able to attend but I am hoping to get to 2013 nats, (where ever that will be). May you all have a fat time kind regards from West Oz!

And yet another kick in the shins to the Negative Nevilles who keep telling us that pre 75/pre 78 is dead and buried. I think there's a few more years left in the old division yet thanks to Col Metcher, Vandy, DT and the Brisbane club and all of the other true believers.
