Hey Tramo141

Great shots and the sticker kit looks the biz,

I’m looking forward to checking out the penrith flat track on sunday.

i will set up the pit tent and have the turkey on ice

btw lochmaree is fully booked out now :woohoo:

[Dan BatemanMember]

The Turkey doesn’t care if it’s raining.

we could say the race was on and take the bikes into the bush for a few hours if they can the meeting

What’s the difference between long track and speedway. Is it because you use normal dirt bikes or is long track the one with the chicane so that there is one bend in the track going the other way to the rest.

long track is a larger track from 500m to 900m around . speedway is about 300m some bikes are speeway frames with 450 engines in them these day for long track
the one with the chicane is dirt track that was created to sort out speedway riders as they are only able to turn left :laugh:

Bastards could still nail you though on those old laydown jawas and stuff…

Good stuff Tramo, I love flattrack used to be a good one at ballina, but it got closed down and now has these funny bumps all over it they tell me…..

Those methanol breathing bitches were and are lethal, one of my younger brothers has only minimal movement in his right arm after crashing one just teasting & tuning in the paddock, that was 20 years ago and it smashed his shoulder and arm into a pulp in a millisceond of stuck throttle and a highside into a camphor laurel on the way.

Cowboy Bob Cowley just rebought his 1970s championship bike back and is restoring it, I remember him and Doohan tuning that thing and the solid 6′ flames on the overrun back when we were teenagers.

It’s probably my favourite form of bike racing to actually participate in, unfortunately the venues are limited these days.

for us that will make four tracks within one hours drive and my daughter is loving this style of racing
