I'm with wombat on this one.Had the opportunity to meet several WA guys who were knowledgable and passionate about the sport.Also they were more than willing to help with track setup when I was there.Nicely turned out bikes too!All in All a great meet.Thanks to QVMX and SCMCC for all their work.

I wasn't there but I got a problem with making rash generalizations like that.Maybe one WA guy ticked you off,that doesn't mean all the WA guys and girls are the same.

Congratulations to everyone from WA (NZ and everywhere else too) who made the trip.

I hope it was a memorable event for everyone.

lets not dwell too much on the negatives guys.
from the moment i arrived on site to the moment i left, the Nationals in my mind was all/even more than i could ever of hoped for.
i rode pre~75 and pre~70 and loved the track, jumps, bumps, hills and all! and found everyone super friendly and helpfull even if they sing like crap at midnight...
bikes ranged from the best of the best to some wonderfull old dungers that used zip~ties instead of fencing wire 8) {now thats inovation}.
caught up with a few forum folk even if it was brief.
the sidecars are a must watch! well done Walter.
and i hope the guys that rode that chair over the berm after that first downhill are ok.
yep! i saw that one  8).
had my share of mechanical issues and shared the ups and downs of my fellow riders.
if i can't make it to Vicco to ride i'll be aiming to go as a spectator as these events are just too good to miss.
the only suggestion i've got would be for the CZ girls to be available at trophy presentation :)
is that too much to ask?
 oh! and i really am sorry for not helping to roll up the hoses Trev :D

I heard that someone from WA was hurt, does anyone have any news about him yet...
To right guy's

When we went over to WA for the Nats they were really nice, I didn't meet a lot this time, but those that I did, were great people, my only dissappointment with them, was that I didn't run into Alison ;D ;D

Congratulations to everyone who came home with trophies, and to QVMX and SCMC

All of the piccies are now up on the web, but have not been edited.

Keep Smiling :)

I HEARD THEAT THE DEADLY RACE DAY LOSER  PROTESTED ABOUT SOME PROFORMANCE ENHANCEING TOP TRIPPLE CLAMP. MAN THAT CLAMP MUST OFF BEEN FAST AT LEAST 50 KLICKS
Careful commenting unless you know the full story.:) It did not affect me, but the bikes that were DQ'd  weren't right - and it wast just about triples.
The good thing about telling the truth is that you don't have to remember what you said.

I just got a call and by the sounds of it, Dean Burt is untouchable... :-\
From what i gather The Vics are not at the pointy end this year in evo.
I cant wait to see video or photos of Glen Bell and his bike.
Hope everyone is havin a blast up there..


There was only 0.2 sec between belly and burt lap times on sat. With Belly getting the nod there. Sunday was another great day with local Tam paul unlucky to miss out on one of the 125 classes after seizing his bike while leading and winning the other two races. He also picked up a second place on saturday on the CR500 behind Belly.
Another local Brett Thompson AKA the Fruit punted the XR500 into top 5 finishes.

What made Belly's laptimes impressive was the fact that his CR500 was stuck in 2nd gear for the whole race. An overnight gearbox change fixed the problem.
