Day out at HVMCC

[Dwayne OMember]

:woohoo: I had a great day at the Hastings Valley MCC today chewing the fat with the Wauchopian local Old Bulls
Saw some excellent action & racing in all grades, also had the pleasure of seeing Chris Hollis ripping it up on his new KTM350 :whistle:
Damn, he is one smooth rider and announced that he is off to Alice Springs next week to practice for the Finke Desert Race ,,,,
He summed it up with a response of ” Well I`m heading out there to have a look and will either enjoy myself or BE SHIT SCARED !!!” :laugh:

Thanx to all the locals that made me & Ash feel welcome
We will be back for sure to help out where we can soon ,,,,,

Cheers
will sort out some pics & vids I took tomorrow

Will be back a few times thru the year, so will see you again

[Dwayne OMember]

vids too ,,,

Both of Moose` young blokes (George & Alex) line up in this one

Yeah it was good to catch up eags, although I ended up in a marshall box for a while. Hollis had a first turn incident later in the day and had to go to hospital for a x-ray on his hand. Here’s hoping it doesn’t jeopardise his assault on Finke.

Finke isnt until June, may hurt a little pre-running but should be fine

:blink: That`s too bad for him if it is damaged ,,

As for your marshalling box time,,, :whistle: You can blame me for that after I volunteered you and put you on the spot :laugh: I wil have a go nest time on the hose & on the flag,,,

I really enjoyed my time there and Ash loved it and was quick to tell mum she wants to get a bike & race :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:
That will be like getting honey out of a cat to get the go ahead I can tell ya :dry:

Cheers

[Mick DMember]

Yeah I noticed you were pretty quick to volunteer me for the job. :laugh: No worries Eags, I would have done it anyhow. The Marshalling box on turn 1 is a pretty good spot to watch the racing up close.

Good to see you there Eags. It was a fun day

Hollis’s hand might be OK for Fink but the 1st round of the AORC in a couple of weeks could be another story. I didn’t see it myself but apparently his hand didn’t look good.

That’s a good point the AORC, surprised they let him mince around in little non championship rides considering the investment they have in him. I mean practicing is one thing on your own etc, maybe there are extra risks racing at a local motocross where a local could try that bit harder to beat said “Gun factory rider” thus endangering both of them. Not saying that’s what happened but the extra risks are there I think. Hope he is alright be interested to see how he goes at Finke

TB

[Dwayne OMember]

Yeah, Good point ,,,
It had to happen on turn 1 rather than anywhere else on the track cause noone was even close to him after that :laugh:

I think his first moto, he was about 5th into turn 1, but had the lead before half a lap was done, then put about 20 seconds on the field by the laps end :whistle:
Very smooth and fast rider

Here’s a cracker pic from yesterday’s raceday……

All Hail President MOOSE
