  yes mick i will be there ! ready to do battle. the rti on saturday & no you cant have it plus the rattley smokey slider will be challenging all comers for the first corner on sunday.-- no practice for the slider though because i suspect it is thinking about exploding again after the fun it had alongside that 4 valve rocket machine last time ..indeed how good has this annual charity thing been with bills bonfire on sat'dy night.b-b q & b's##it for all to share .then we will need to start thinking about next years event which will coincide with fifty years of nepean!  its great that we have people like herb and chris and len and bill and all the others behind these events.cheers wally.

jim has a good point wally!does penrith club call it pre 75 but runs up to the next class as there is insufficient numbers.i have seen that in the sidecars. i think last year there was one true pre 75 sidecar no pre 68 it would have been boring watching one sidecar going arounded.so the next question if you can run your slider wally will we see jim out there with you?but the big question and there has been no reply will we see black betty and co?

[jimg1au]

sliders can only run with sliders according to the penrith club.you wont see me there i have other pre arranged(by the wife)commitments
cheers
jim
ps i do have a gen pre70 slider and a pre75 slider.

The Nepean Charity pre '75 event was a great little meeting spoiled only by a less than expected entry roll up. The weather was great, the track in terrific condition, the racing was close and the beer was cold, everything we needed for a great day. Congratualtions to Penrith club for a well run and enjoyable day.
Below are some lo res shots from yesterday. I can't find my program so forgive me for not captioning them. I'll add captions when I find the bloody thing.
below: American vintage racer Michael McCook ( www.mccookracing.com) was in town having a break from business in China and had his first ever dirt track experience on Firkos Maico (clutch shit out!) and Kathleen Atkins trick TS250 Suzuki. He enjoyed himself immensely and loved the Aussie beer!.

Great Photos Firko and Noel. It was a tragedy over in Kamp Kevlar with Jonesys Black Betty frying a gearbox, Ugly Betty misbehaving like one of his teenage daughters and his slider running out of spark, all in practice for fork sake! Then you add Firkos Maico clutch fading off into the sunset and Stanleys CZ blowing a base gasket it seemed their pit was cursed by the god of evil fortune. McCook the American seemed to be a good scout and took all of the Kevlar dramas in good stead. He was seen to be enjoying his first dirt track experience aboard Uncle Rays grand daughters TM Suzuki. All in all it was a great day despite the pissy turnout.

Firko, would that be Mick Hockley on the #45 Maico, I roadraced against him a few years ago at Phillip Island on a 350 Maico of that number, and he's hard as nails in a scrap, if he's a dirt tracker as well, that would explain it....
