QVMX, Race day at Mt Tamborine

[worms]

Here we go again, the 21st Sept will see us racing at Mt Tamborine for the 2nd time this year, if you are not familiar with this track it's a classic grass track suited to all era's of bikes, as allways with the club we don't race for points, it's just about racing with your mates. Hope you all have recovered from the Conondale Classic and are ready for another great race day.

As allways camping overnight is welcomed, and any help with track set-up much appreciated. Please do not forget club guidelines if camping over.

Cheers Trev

there with bell's on, where exactly is it?

[STW996]

Cooler temps?? hey Trev it is set for 29 on Saturday and 28 on Sunday? so what do you call cooler?

Do you know if Brian is going to use the tree section again (like last years race) that was the best track I had run on down there.

See you Sunday

I'm with you Shane, unfortunately the best rack at Tambo was the one I did/nt get past practice on, so hopefully Brian will do the same again. Nice uphills instead of the flat dusty stuff. I might go down to help as well.

[STW996]

I remember that Tony, also wasn't that the same weekend Brian did his ankle (help me on this Trev) so if it is he might not be to keen to go that way again 

Im a worker again saturday (Bloody customers work would be a lot more fun without them ) so I will see you guys Sunday.

Yep Brian did his leg in the late afternoon during setup and I did the shoulder, ribs and lung the next morning, overall not bad ..5 broken bones and a deflated lung and two men in hospital before the racing even started.. who says we don't play hard. It was a class track though and the light rain the day before made it beeuatiful

[Stewy138]

can someone tell me what time the gates open and what time scrutineering starts etc. 

Thanks,

Here's a quick weather update for those attending this race tomorrow.
This track is close to me and heavy rain has been pissing down here for the past hour; lightning, thunder etc.
The rain has now stopped but the track should be nice and damp at least through the morning.

[Maico31]

That's good news graham. Track should be perfect!

Closest track to me but i gotta miss out  :'(

[STW996]

Excellent track but the forcasted rain missed the spot, dust man I will be coughing it up for weeks!!

Thanks to all the officials and also to Brian for another great layout, love that through the trees running

A fantastic day put on by the QVMX club!  Really enjoyed it and first time riders were made extremely welcome - thanks!  Looking forward to the AGM ride and 2009 season...just need to tune this vintage body up a bit - seems to have a serious miss when on the main jet!!!!  Dust..what dust?  At the back of the pack the breeze had blown the dust away before I got there.

"and another good showing of 4 strokes with new member to the club Fruity blasting his yamaha tt 350 like it was supercharged and he didnt know where or how to use the brakes."

          Trev best old Fruity get himself a pre 85 bike or have we had a new rule change where we can ride pre 90 now.

[090]

Hmmm... tis a dilemma .
I personally get my nose out of joint when i see a few late models slip through, obviously to encourage rather than discourage riders to the flock, hence i have not said anything.
But when i started in the scene i bought bikes to fit the eras, same as the majority of others.
Should something  diplomatic ,or in a nice way, be said to encourage these guys to purchase the correct bikes?

[TonyB]

Great, now with the new "laid back attitude" I can use a 06 ktm 450 till I get my pre 75 bike..sorry it all smells like bullshit to me Trev. In my books a near miss is as good as a mile.. I know the Fruit guy would be quick on anything but I find it hard to see that rules are bent for the select few.
