I said "too far to go for the locals to clean-up". If I wanted to try for a title I would be happier to have a second crack, at those that won in their home state, at another track.
Mr Motocross wasn't run in one state ;-)
I know what you are saying about trying to get more interstaters to travel to two events if they can't get to one, maybe they saw it as I do .... another Queensland Championship?
I'm glad I didn't go if the track was too 'modern' for me, I just tore a tenden in my shoulder while trying a 'step-up' (double jump I think) at the Bonanza the week before, I didn't quite make it, the back wheel caught and threw me over the bars.
We have to face it, in our minds we feel 15, my orthopedic surgeon tells me that the bone density of a 50 yo is half that of a 15 yo, I break & tear body parts now without even crashing, nothing to do with me toughening-up.
Anyway, we are off the thread topic, if you want to continue it we can go to another thread. Sorry Chaps.
