I was behind the guy on the CR that cartwheeled into the front of the finish line table top, that was one nasty episode so I hope he is ok.

Awesome day. Can't remember seeing so much loam at Ravenswood!

The pace seemed high  yesterday so the crashes were big!

Both big crashes were right in front of where I was pitted. When I got home last night I was telling my kids that I saw the biggest live crash ever (the young guy over the finish line table). He got squirly up the up ramp and high sided off and did about three cart wheels over the tabletop and landed at the bottom.

He had just passed someone for 2nd and had just pulled the trigger on the double after the last corner .....

Then saw the man on the elisnore do a cart wheel into the deck on that 2nd jump.... Looked like the CR tagged him as we'll as a very hard landing.....

I hope they both recover quickly!!!!

Thanks to viper and bendigo. Clubs  Fantastic day!!!

Davey, I was all fired up after putting a tank through the RM at hbbb but think nerves, no fitness and permanent man flu meant 1st gear all the way!

Quite depressing really but on the bright side survived to tell the tale and ready to ride another day.

P.s I still would have lapped you  :)

Yes but then again the homo bro, in Christchurch, does not ride anymore.

As for the jaffa brother. Modesty stops me from commenting apart from saying "brrrrrrrrr, he my pigeon" (twIn speak). :)  :D

See you next year at johnny old? Champagne spray pay, back?

Firko, not sure on actual numbers, but i reckon they were down a bit. There is usually a lot of local riders who ride their moderns in a separate class, but there was another meeting close by that clashed and would have taken some away giving the impression there wasnt as many riders there as usual. Big K will know the numbers for sure.

Numbers were down at 66 riders, don't really know why. All grids had good numbers though and there was some good close racing. The pace was certainly on in most cases.
The big disappointment was the senior recreation class with not a single entrant, what a dud it's turned out to be! I don't know what that's telling us, but we will now re-hash the schedule to accommodate another class or 2 before the next round.

I didn't hold much hope for the rec class situation. However, most other classes I saw were well attended and a good day was had by all. Combining classes has proven to be a winner (evo AP was great refer side on shot) and post 90 continues to be a hit. I wish I could ride more classes but I'm stuffed doing what I do, a big thanx to big k and gruber and bendigo Mcc for providing what was the best groomed ravo I have seen in my tender years
