That would have to be a "BIG" stubby holder for the Darwin stubbies hey? Do they still drink NT Draught? When I was there in the early eighties most people where drinking Victorian beers or Emu export. Anyway when in the company of friends any beer is good beer hey!!

By tomorrow morning al our road trippers will be on the way to Port Augusta.  Plane tripper, last one's leave Thursday, so by Thursday night you should have around 45 West Australians in Port Augusta.  No it is not shooting season, no black duck hunting please.  See you all there

As for NT Draught? We used to use it to strip paint.

Wonder what happen to Liam in the pre 78 250?

They are working on the scoring glitch for some riders..hope to be fixed soon.
Wind is blowing in our favour bikes are warming up - it's on again for the writing of Australian Classic MX history.

Hello Slakewell,
He won the first race in the morning, the yz250 was running great. Second race was sitting in second place closing in on first and about to make it a race when as he said it just lost power. Initially he thought the spark plug cap had come off. He could kick it over, didn't seize but no spark.
So dnf. After pulling it apart and seeing what's going on it appears to be internal. A real bummer.
Great weekend apart from the 3 lap dash. GCR come out saying 4. Before a wheel is turned those in the know shorten the races to 3 because we have so many races. We finished at 1.30 Sunday and had lunch breaks on Saturday and Sunday , turned it into a 1 and 1/2 day event. Could have and should have done it over 4 laps min!!!!!!

Yes strange that decision. Practice was same length as race distance

[Slakewell]

Should have taken the Kato 

Gee only 3 laps I could see how people who traveled a long way would be disapointed. If you had 1 bike and 1 class thats only 12 laps. Good thing most of us dont just go for the racing.

landed in late last night - was a great meeting well run and a great club with a lot to be proud of to have run it as well. Track look a tad scary until you rode it and found (im my view anyway) that it was really good and fun to ride.
Few broken Maicos and hondas - not the first time for that but good racing and a great weekend. Congrats to the club.

That is why when I put the first draft of the sup-regs for the Post Classics together it was time races not laps.  Classic and Post Classic need a chapter on the Australian Championships just like the modern MX, SX and Junior MX Champs.  Too much interference from others.

3 lap races suck. Especially for a supposed championship.

Kevins idea of timed races would be the go I reckon. Something like 15 imuntes + 1 lap.....

That would of made it 5or6 laps plus one @port augusta

Now that would be great to see and participate in. 3 laps is way too short if you have a dud start or a bit of a mistake.
