Shane you will be pleased to know that the
Bruce 'Magoo' McFarland Trophy was competed for by 12 Teams of 3 riders today at the Inter-club meeting of Heaven VMX and Northern Dist MCC (Retro MX) clubs at the Cessnock MX track.
The event was ran along the MX des Nations format and we called it the
MX des ERA .
It was a team competiton (teams were selected by lottery) each team was made up of 3 riders from different classes
Rider 1 - Pre75, Pre78 or EVO 125
Rider 2 - EVO 250, EVO 500 or Pre85 125
Rider 3 - Pre85 250, Pre85 500 or Pre90
Moto 1 had riders 1 & 3 from each team
Moto 2 had riders 2 & 3
Moto 3 had riders 1 & 2
Bruce would have loved it because it was a cunning and devious plan
to bring the differing class riders together into teams with every riders performance counting
Will have a photo of the winners shortly. There was actually a tie on point between two teams with the winning team decided on a count back
The winning team was
Scott Grant YZ400D '77
Shaun Tomkins KX250 '79
Cameron Bullen CR500 '88
The runner up team
Sean Hardman Husky CR250 '73
Carl Rindlesbacher YZ250H '81
Sean Guerin CR500 '89
The Coulda, Shouda and BUGGAs will be discussed for months
Bruce would be laughin' big time
