After the racing on Saturday, why not hang around till Sunday and check out the Sidecar Racing Association's 'Have a Go Day'.

It will be on track 3 (the old track). The day will kick off at 9:30 and go till about 3:30.

$10 will get you 3 laps as a passenger on the sidecar(s) of your choice.

Last year there was a great turn out of moderns and classics. This year will hopefully be bigger again.

Tell all your friends.

Hi Sinfull,
I am picking your looking at BEARS/Protwins class.
There will be a practice/qualifying round followed be 2 races on the day.
I am picking that the bears races will be 8 laps each. I will confirm this with the committee next week.
We are running another meeting at Hampton Downs in March, so the BEARS points will be added up for the 2 meetings and someone is going to get a trophy.
There is all so the PMCC meeting the next day if your keen.
I coming down to the Vic Rd5 so pop into garage #4 and say hi.

A little depends on the number of bikes in the classes. E.g. some classes may be merged if the numbers are too low.
For the Post Classics there will be a practice/qualifying round followed by the first race being 8-10 laps. The second race is the GP race, so it will be 10-12 laps. I'll confirm the details at the meeting next week.
Is your oil burning FZR now classed as a 1000cc two-stroke??
