Hear there are going to be a fair few Elsinors being brought out of the sheds.

Might hang around afterwards, see if there is an Elsinor Swapmeet!!!

Will they take a late entry in the sidecars, I've got a slightly used Yamaha Wasp, only rolled twice at the Nats. Ridden by a very black duck and a dying fly on the side. Have pictures of it in motion-to prove it does move and can pay officials off if they let us in. Don't have a sheep station to give as bond but could put up a very quiet exhaust shop back east if they must have collateral. (I lost the sheep station at the Nats)
Will it be as good as Proserpine, with a 12hr drive each way?

Next year it will be even bigger as it is the 15th anniversary of the club, they intend getting a few riders( from South Africa (5), England and the eastern states.  Will be a two race meeting with one at Wandering and a fortnight later at the home track of Narrogin.  So guys put West Australia on your calendar for August next year.  this could be the biggest international VMX meeting to date. 

Last year we had Falta and Staric from Checoslavakia and Bill Davis from USA as well as Drakie and others from Eastern States.  Next year could be massive, things will not be done by halves for next years celebrations
