A few pics from Connondale 08

[Doc]

Here's a few pictures from today. Not many as I was feeling up the shat sorry but I'm sure there'll be many more from others. Huge event, great track but the place is a hoodoo for me, 3 visits and 3 woefull displays, never even got past the practice laps today before calling it quits due to the sinusitis crap I've suffered with all week. Such is life and there's some great events happening there next year so I'll be back to have another go. Here's the pics anyway, as I said, the atmosphere was great, loads of now familiar faces (many others unfamiliar as well), oodles of bikes, the track was yummy yummy and I can only imagine tomorrow will be a repeat of today

another small note too, great to see big Darcy Kupfer back in the thick of things after the nasty injury sustained at Coffs well over 12 months ago. Wished I'd more time to flap gums..sorry ppls

Who's that in the last one? CR125RZ is it?
Whether he is or not, he looks fast.

looks good Doc,
i'm sitting here with a couple of sleeping kids.
get well soon mate

[Doc]

it is a beautiful track folks and Tony I'm not sure who that guy on the CR was but he cleared off from everyone and styled it up like this lap after lap..here's the following blurry lap. As usual there were some super fast riders and super fast racing



twiched wire an' all  photography isn't my forte quite obviously 

Great to talk with Magoo and have a yap with 'Cokeman' Hervey Birdman whom I hadn't seen for a couple of years also. A fine bunch of blokes (and women) the vintage MX crew are no if's, but's or maybe's!

Did get a bit dusty at places but overall the track looked tops, wish i could have had a play on it.

Looks like Bill on 219?
I guess that's before his broken leg..............

Missed your lens Tony
 
I only scored a bit of saturday and the track seemed to be drying fast. one part of thr track out the back near the road  appeared to be turning to bulldust. Bill hit it on one lap and almost dissappeared. i waited for a while before he emerged as i thought he had an off but out he crawled.

Good racing and a damn good track . well done to shane and all the support staff and of course volunteers.

Lens or no lens, it's just great to see shots from events I can't get to. Thanks!
