Amazing what a sprinkling of universal solvent will do to a track! And how much of a blast would it have been if the weather had held off a little?
Phil was lucky/unlucky with the stick which popped off his radiator cap - could have got his leg or the radiator itself!!

Here is a pic from the Special Test Track on Saturday.

Thanks for the pic mboddy - trying to get some air time on the IT175J ! Very much appreciate you sharing the pic!

Such an enjoyable event even if I did spend some quality time side of track pondering my failed head gasket & attempting a rebuild in the rain

Thanks to everyone at VERi who put on such a great, well organised event look forward to seeing all your smiling faces at the next event (probably Harrow for me)

 - Cheers Jon.

Also massive thanks to Canam370 (Paul) for coming to collect me, getting into his heated ute was very welcomed even if I was a certain shade of orange being covered head to toe in orange clay after attempting a tow up a greasy hill

I would have been cursing, big time. There is no way my current fitness would have got me through this one.

Had it been dry it looks like it would have been awesome ( not saying playing in the mud isn't lol ).

Watching Phil's Video, I was short of breath watching those knobbies turn to slicks reminded me of 3 bridges in the wet.

Lil Ms Pentrite is an inspiration to the spirit of Vinduro.

That can't be the same day at the top of the hill , when I got to to the spot where the klx is parked it was covered in cloud , raining and I couldn't even see the perimeter trees , perfect conditions for riding.

Speaking of Beaufort. What ever happened to the medals that were being organised?

They'll be available for collection at Hopetoun this weekend. Anyone who won't be there can get them at a subsequent event, or we can organise some other way.

A post out won't be a problem. Left-overs after Beaufort to be mailed unless otherwise specified. They look good too!!!
