all looks great track will be a lot of fun
all the grass in pits etc cut nice and short
track condition perfect even if we get a little bit of rain
this week it will be spot on

cheers rusty

Are the pits in the usual place or somewhere else? Will we be using the start straight, drunks hill and the back section?

[vandy010]

looking at the "map" on the VMX mag site, the startline is to be part of the Camp area #2/swap meet area.
howd you go at geography at school Brad?

As usual I'm a week behind schedule but I'm burning the midnight oil to finish the Maico trials bike and B&S. It's looking fairly safe now, as long as nothing goes wrong. I'm picking up Kiwi Mike Jolley at Mascot airport at 7.30am Wednesday and we leave at sparrow fart on Thursday morning, picking up Bill Forsyth enroute through Lindfield. Our little 3 car/9 bike/six person road train meets up at the Caltex on the Calga Expressway and then it's on the road to Ballina for an overnight motel stay, a few beers and to pick up the fish and prawns for the barbie before we leave on Friday morning....then, the final leg to Conondale where Kamp Kevlar should be already erected.

[Graeme M]

Yep, gettin close now. I did the final few things to the RM on the weekend (which included an unexpected fork seal replacement), but the IT is nowhere near ready so it won't be coming along. We'll be launching nice and early Thursday as well, also aiming for Ballina Thursday night. That makes for a nice relaxed cruise up the freeway Friday morning and arrive at Connondale around lunchtime. Sure beats working!

How far or how long will it take to get to Conondale from the Brisbane airport ? (via rental car ?)

[STW996]

How far or how long will it take to get to Conondale from the Brisbane airport ? (via rental car ?)

one and a half hours max (depending on the time of day) anytime afeter 9.00 AM is good running.

[firko]

also aiming for Ballina Thursday night.

We should all hook up for a quiet beer and/or a feed in Ballina Graeme.

[Graeme M]

Sounds good Mark. We figure we'll get there around 8-ish though, I am thinking about 13 hours from Canberra and we'll leave here around 6.30. We'll probably grab a motel somewhere around the Big Prawn/Tavern area along the highway on the southside of town. I'll PM you some mobile phone details and we'll see what we can do!

[vandy010]

[husky61]

Road trip starts

Leaving Sydney 5.00 am tommorrow morning.

Going to see my family on the coast.

Will arrive at Melany or Yandina Wednesday PM.
