A murky early morning....... but turned into a warm sunny (perfect for racing) day by 10.00am.
Another huge turnout of people & bikes with large grids in all classes (i will included sidecars in this with 4) but they were there.
I was back pitside again as Ants was having his first outing on the Pro-twin this season.
Senior (1000/600)
Largest grid seen for a while, with a whole heap of talent particually in 600,s. John Ross / Dennis Charlett were tied together all day (think John had the upper hand yesterday) Ryan Hampton was pushed by both these two & James Smith (who seemed to have a few issues)
Stand out guys just behind were Cam Jones - Johnny Small - A Hoogie.
F3/Protwin/125
The "chuby" 450/r6 was on song (and its twin sister) looking great - sounding awesome - and setting a fast pace.
Wade van de Arand was in a class of his own in Protwin........ My boy had a great first outing straight back to the pace he was at 6/8 months ago when he last rode. But with no fitness issues and a very positive headspace our team was pleased with our results and are looking forward to next round and the Tri-series.
Seth Devereux was making great progress on the 125.... hitting all the goals he had set himself and learning heaps about set up...... needs to book a double/discount surgery with J Hassan to have his legs shortened......!
Streetstock/F4/Prolite.
Another huge grid of bikes........ A Hoogie on his "Repsol" CBR 150 was on fire in the 1:54,s i believe. My pick of the day is Scout Fletcher (RG150) another very fast young lady who is pushing the seasoned campaigners of Larry Ross / Jock Woodley and beating them....GO Girl.
Clubmans(motards)
Another big field (although some regulars were missing) this shows that the sport is popular and hopefully many of these riders will move into the other classes as they improve.
Training
These had at least 3 sessions with a chance for us all to see the very youngest riders at he beginning of there careers.........awesome
The day ran like clockwork (Well done fellow MCC team) practice was over and first race was 10.30pm...
Dont think recovery picked anybody up all day (im sure someone will correct me) couple of minor oil spills.
If the strength of the 600 entry was anything to go by (now add the Nth Is entries) then this class is going to be AWESOME come Jan7th (Rd1)
As for my own camp......... Ants is fired up to contest the ProTwin at HD & Manfield(tri series) & Nats The 250 Prolite is nearing completion and Seth will be debut it at KOR rd 4........ and in Ultralite at HD & Manfield & Nats.
Bring it on.......:scooter:
