Lovely avatar pic (is that the right word?)

She looks lovely.  Will she be accompanying you to Farleigh, I would very much like to make her acquaintance. 

John,
        Can you please make your avatar larger, as all this squinting and eye straining is hurting my head.

Rusty tells me the track is good, they had some rain thru the week. Racing would've just started so hopefully will get an update before too long.

Things not going tooo bad for the ausies. Some bloke called Ballard had a bit of a tussle with someone called Chuck Sun in the first race. He must have heard the beer tent was open because he was first across the line in the first race of the day. Chuck retired shortly after being overtaken with slight rear wheel problem. For the first MXDN race Mr Ballard crashed out at the start of the first lap but rejoined a lap down. He was pulling away from the leaders so who knows what might have happened :'(. Heres a few picks of the first race. I will post a load more later.

A few more. As ever the event gets bigger and better every year. The track was perfect. The guy standing next to the Cheney BSA is Andy Roberton. He is still mega quick considering he must be well over 60.

WOW what a day.  Awesome in every respect.  So much to see and not enough time.....  Last race of the day was the EVO VmxDesNations.    Some of the closest, fastest, most spectacular I have seen.  All came down to the last corner and it was won by a gnats whisker.  I thought the commentator was going to either pass out or wet himself or both.   It was a great end to a great days racing.

I didn't get any results at the end of the day and I'm sad to say I missed the last race. I had to leave early as I had to get ready for a shooting comp at Bisley today. Two welsh lads I was chatting to summed up the first race quite well for me. "half way around the world and he wins the first race, f*****G jammy b*****d.
