Hi VMX247,
I have started cleaning the side covers of the CZ400. You can check out the progress on this forum under CZ Polish your parts.

VMX247,
The Green Park race track will be set up differently from the Pro series. The vmx track will still use parts of the Pro track, like the starting gates, hill climb and main straight. These sections get compacted by the end of the day. the rest of the track will be grass over soil and clay with some river rocks. By the end of the first day of racing the grass will have been swept away and the track will start to compact. They seem to water the track in spots so parts are dry with total dust outs while other parts are bog holes.

NO SAND.

Hi fellow Maico members,
The jersey cost me $75.00AUD.
That included postage to my door.
It was made by Zehetner in Germany...

Yep, so just getting back to the jersey for a sec... was this through a web site or what?
From a magazine maybe...?

Green Park.
The Pro part of the track still has 8 jumps with 1 double that if you hit it to clear it you will raise 1.8 meters into the air and travel about 12 meters, and you will want to try and clear it as the dirt in between is compacted like concrete. Even tractoring over it jars your spine.  There are 6 formed berms.

I think there is a 30 rider wide steel tube drop starting gate off a dirt pad.

The dust outs last year were so bad that if you were 5th or more you had to shut off the throttle for fear of what was ahead.

All that said it is a cow paddock with a twist.

Hi Wasp,

We will all have to wait and see what the track designer comes up with.

Green Park has cows on it all year round but moved before race day.
Tamborine and Coles Creek are the same, while Rocksberg the cows are just kept out of harms way.

Ji you sound like an expert on green park, did you take a tape measure with you last time? For the last 30 years that i've raced there they have always watered and prepared the track very well for big meetings and dust is not usually a problem, i know it is a problem sometimes for club days and practice days. The track is always changed for vintage meets compared to modern meets.

Hi Maico31,
NO I AM NOT A EXPERT ON THAT TRACK.
WHERE DID I SAY THAT ?

I did pace out the double jump when I was there last time and that is where the measurements came from.
I was at the QVMX round last year as you were and that was where the data came from for my posting.
The dust was very bad in the afternoon on both days I raced. You, as I remember were up the front end of the pack and probably missed out on a dust facial.

As I said I think that Green Park is the best track in Queensland.

I said the track was not the same as the Pro series track and when asked about the starting straight and first corner I advised that we would have to wait and see.

I was trying to help my fellow VMX members on the otherside of Australia.

So are you some kind of an expert ?

Wasp,
Ask Hornet for a copy as it is his by the sounds of it.
