G'day guys, Laine and myself have been working out the menu for the 21st & 22nd of September.
So far it looks like this.

Good stuff guys,
                       this grasstrack meeting is turning into a huge weekend and getting better by the week. Looking forward to this one for sure.   Peter.

Hi all,
          some good news regarding Round 5 of the Viper series which is scheduled for September 22nd 2013. This round is Vipers grass track round which was a successful day last year with all riders enjoying the natural terrain track, good weather and great atmosphere. After several discussions with the land owner as well as Frank De-Rose who looks after VCM and the Viper committee we are pleased to announce this race meeting will now be run over the Saturday 21st and the Sunday 22nd September and will include supported classes from VCM and possibly CSC.

The plan at this stage is Saturday will be sign in and open practice from approx. 1pm until 5pm, from 5pm onwards the land owner will have his yearly bonfire underway which i have been told is huge. This will make a great night / weekend for VMX riders from different clubs to meet and also be able to race the next day on the same track, this normally doesn`t  happen due to different track requirements for each club. The Saturday night will also have great food available including a spit roast and BBQ food, we will need numbers from you guys to help the land owner cater for this event and i will send this request out in a separate email soon.

The Sunday will be racing only from start to finish as we will have extra classes on the schedule for this one off event, the aim is to finish at a reasonable time on the Sunday afternoon and get everyone on their way with time to spare. The landowner has allowed us to camp at the track on the Saturday night which is a bonus as you can enjoy yourself at the bonfire and not have to drive off the property until Sunday arvo, the catering for Sunday which will include a breakfast menu as well as hot and cold food at lunch time is also being organised by the land owner. More details will be sent out as the round gets closer.

I`m sure you will agree this meeting has the potential to be a big weekend of VMX with the invitation of other Victorian VMX clubs and a variety of race bikes that some of us don`t normally see. We may even see some interstate riders come down for this event. If you need to contact me regarding this event or have any suggestions please use   [email protected] 

                       Regards Peter. 9/6/2013.

More good news regarding round 5, Viper has now added a class at this event for Vinduro bikes to also have practice on the Saturday and 3 races on the Sunday. A lot of guys that ride Vinduros also compete in Viper or VCM and have asked the question about a class at this event. For those that are not members of either club can purchase 1 day memberships for this event.

                                   Peter 11/6/2013.

Hi all,
          the Viper grass track event in Sunbury on the 21st & 22nd of September is shaping up to be a big meeting for us with a lot if interest shown so far. The main reason for this email is to help the landowner with numbers for the catering that is being organised for this event, if you are intending to attend the bonfire and spit roast etc. on the Saturday night of the race meeting could you please let me know how many adults / children will be attending with you. Please send me an email at    [email protected]  confirming these numbers and i can then let the landowner know what sort of numbers to cater for. 

Please let me know asap as this won`t be left until the last minute as we don`t want anybody missing out.    Regards Peter Gruber.

Going to a great round of viper and vmx. Good on you guys

G'day again,  just a small update on the September grass track.

I've been out on the track over the last couple of days. 
It is looking great.  We have had just the right amount of rain.
The soil looks and feels plump, for want of a better word.
A couple of months ago, I tickle racked the soil then dragged a heavy leveling sled
around it and let the grass grow through.

It looks to have paid off as the track look even better than it did last year.
Can't wait. It should be a fantastic weekend.  Fingers crossed we get good weather for it.

Hi all,
            below is part of an email that i received from the land owner of the Viper grass track event. The land owner and i have been discussing the grass track and all the details involved in running this event over the last few weeks, i have kept him informed of the numbers i have received so far for the Saturday night. At the moment the numbers for the Saturday night catering are not where they need to be.

I will supply final numbers for catering to the landowner at the end of this month, so please register your attendance for the Saturday night activities with me ASAP and lets get the numbers to make this part of the night a success.

 Contact me on    [email protected]             Regards Peter Gruber.


We would like to give folks this last opportunity to place their name with the Viper club, if you are interested in having a 3 course dinner at the bonfire.
 
The price will be between $20-$25 per head (depending on numbers) for:-
 
Choice of Soup or Yabbies
Spit Roast
Choice of two Desserts
Tea & coffee provided.
 
If numbers are not high enough, we regret we will have to cancel this part of the event. 

[John Orchard]

Jodie & I are in, hoping others are coming along.  Pete are you doing a email to all Viper members? I don't think they are all here on the Forum?

[Speed]

G'day John, I'm just about to upload some pics of a previous Bonfire we had here.
If I can work out how. 

[Speed]

I thought I'd put up a couple of pics from a previous Bonfire we had.
I hope we can get the numbers up as I'm sure everyone will have a great night.
The Bonfire isn't as big but I'm working on it. 
If anyone has anything they would like to burn bring it along.
Please make sure it is burnable and remove all steel or glass.

[John Orchard]

Hmmmm I'm a bit of 'pyro' and a 'petrol-head' ...... petrol being the operative word  ;-)  LOL

[Speed]

Here's one for you John, at the Bonfire in the pics we had a
fundraiser for the local CFA and had an auction one of the things auctioned off was the lighting of the fire.

Wet wood, nothing a bit of diesel spray can't fix.
