Re: Lakeside Racing

I've not done any vids for a while. Last time I was racing, on that very windy day, I forgot the memory cards, & so only had one cam going. The trackside cam got blown over....busted alittle slipper clutch thing in there that I may be able to fix.

Last w/e was only mobile phonecam footage. I got one of the postie spills, not Wax's though. As usual, it's terrible res, & so I've not bothered to upload anything.
The day ended up getting cut short because of rain. Yep, it was steady rain, on an already cool & cloudy day, so the track didn't have any chance of drying out.
We've had a good run without rain, for sure, but raining on other days is preferable. Cool

Wax had a bit of a spill & duffed his ankle.
The postie bikes seemed to be copping it pretty bad with a nasty stack that required the ambo to the scene...no lasting injury, thankfully.

Wax, Sean & Paulo looked like they were have a good scrap forthe last race. Paulo's bike has certainly come up to speed, & remember, it's still a 50.

TGB Rob's bike was having it's maiden run with a brand new 70kit.It held together well & looked strong throughout the racing. Lookforward to seeing the TGB develop. As usual, Mini Moto Mechanic Dad had his hands full with his sons' bikes.

One of the faster postie bike had an early retirement from a broken crank! Shocked Ouch!

Despite the day being cut short it looked like everyone had a blast.

My day didn't even get started as I forgot my helmet, & I was already trashed from Shel being crook, & spending days nutting out an electrical problem with one of the bikes....so not wanting to push the tiredness onto the track with a borrowed helmet, I enjoyed a day of flaggy duties, instead.

Next racing is 25th Oct.  Gates open 8am.

Here's something that I'm not sure I've posted before, but here it is. Hilarious! :))

25.10.09 Well, what a day at the track! My plans for the Red Misty 50 went rather pear shaped, to say the least. All the testing I did, & it was looking really...
