HEAVEN R2 at Canberra was a pretty fine event - superb weather and track conditions on Saturday for the free riding, and then a nice slightly damp track to start on Sunday. Mind you the thunderstorm complete with hail at the lunch break did change that a bit...

Here's a few pics from Gezza, more to come later in the week.

I got nuthin' to say to you, Mr Mc... Or were you threatening to get roosted? ;D

Seriously good day. Track was awesome in the morning, and even hail at lunchtime only brought it back to 'excellent'.

Had some bike issues (CT1 chain adjuster died four corners into the first race, YZ-C didn't even manage a full lap of practice), but I can also now honestly say that I've lead a race. :)

Big thanks to everyone who made it happen, and to everyone who helped me out with bits and tools, particularly Neville, and who ran around after me (ie: my wife).

Some of the weirdest weather you are likely to see-a bit of everything. The track held up really well considering-a credit to the "Groundsman" and his team. There were plenty of great races and not too many spills.The rain on the drive back to the coast half washed the bikes,which was a bonus.I spotted a couple of new faces and bikes-hope you guys and girls enjoyed it.

top weekend,
enjoyed the free riding Saturday as well as the racing Sunday,
thanks to all the Canberra guys and girls for making it all happen,
and the Heaven guys for all the work involved,
(I heard that Dennis fell asleep during his breakfast cuppa on sunday and was late getting to the track,
after late nights grooming the track) Thank's dennis,
 the track was the best it has been with all the
sawdust and sand copping well with the water just as promised

Mark we don't care who the photo's are of just stick them up for every body to see.
Cheers
Noel

The Zook with the lilac tank caught my eye...

And if you are man-enough to ride a classic 125 last weekend, then you made it into the ACTMCC's brochures about "Motorcycle Racing in the ACT".

 :)

No kidding - at all of the local bike shops, there's these professional looking brochures, and included among all of the photos of dirt track, speedway and modern MX, there's a photo of Neville, Stuart, Noel, Bill, Graeme and myself all heading towards the first corner.

:)

Apart from anything else, I'm impressed that a photo taken 5 days ago has gone through the whole process so quickly... Two thumbs up for the ACTMCC.

Did the brochure catch you in the pushing stage at that point Nathan ;D

Rosco, the DT didn't require pushing all day - but if it makes you feel better, I'm in last place when the photo was taken. :D

Noel, funnily enough, I had to think long and hard about whether it was taken last year... I don't think I've ever raced Graeme on the RM before, and I definitely haven't raced Bill on the 125 before.
