i dont know where to start!

the weekend was amazing, so many people dug deep, even in these hard times, to give whatever they could afford.

all our sponsors were amazing in their generosity and especially Big Bill of Moto Wreck with all those raffle prizes, thanks mate you made the difference.

another amazing act of generosity was from the landowners who would not accept any payment for the two days, a big thankyou to the Fraser family!

With 80 riders on Saturday and 115 on Sunday it was huge, even with the very hot conditions and a bit more dust than you would care for, the racing went off without a hitch. Many thanks to Gosso and Brenden for helping out on the day, you guys are what the spirit of our sport is all about, Cheers!

and last but not least, those two sheila's Marion and Kylie and the rest of the gang, Chris, Steve, Craig,Wayne,Michael P,Bret,Philip,Bob and anybody else who chipped in, Thanks for making the weekend happen.

stay tuned for the final tally, but with auctions and raffles alone we are nearly at $3000 with approx another $3500 to come!!!

on a funnier note, it looks like i have found my new calling as a Auctioneer.

Cheers

Trev
(did i hear another bid from Shane or was that Brad)

 :D believe it or not, i went away empty handed.Trev put the pressure on though! It was a laugh for sure. As far as the cz goes, i am trying to get the old man on it but is happy for me to ride it for now. The thing is a weapon. I feel like i am cheating.
Thanks for the photos too Jackie, great stuff.

Seeing all the bodies on the track I assumed the worst... F*ckin' logging protesters! >:(
But no, apparently someone wheelied across the pack from the start and took out a few - well that's what I heard, can anyone confirm?
