BigFatDave Posted January 20, 2009 Report Share Posted January 20, 2009 Very eventful two days, prcatice was held on Friday night with racing on Saturday night and Sunday morning. The weather was all over the place, it was freezing on Friday night, cool on Saturday night and absolutely boiling on Sunday. Overall a good couple of days racing which had more than the usual ups and downs, dodgy decisions etc etc. The best man won, Arthur is a standout but there are a number of other very promising youngsters, apart from the teenagers who did well (Morris, Campton, Medson, Dennis, etc) a few new names stood out. Brady Kurtz was unlucky, he's a tiny little fella, who looks to have a big future, another very young rider who impressed was Max Frikke from Mildura. I think the pairs (teams event) has served its time, the only team riding was from Morris/Dennis and later on Sissis / Medson. Its great for the kids to get an extra meeting though and some of the kids showed what they are capable of, once the pressure is off. The club had their work cutout cramming in so many events and the track took a battering with the full sidecar and solo championships both on Saturday night. I think the 350cc Aussie Championships which is coming up soon will be a better guide for those wanting to know who the next lot of emerging Australian talent are. How did the announcers pull up?

whowasthatberntpersson Posted January 20, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 20, 2009 How did the announcers pull up? The little pommy fella did a great job (Howard I mean), he's not bad at all. He did say at the end that his arse was hanging out because of the way they were pumping out the races, it was non stop all night but he was very professional, quite easy on the ears. The boys (Howard and Bryn) decided to go to Broadford on the Sunday, rather than stay in Shepparton for the pairs, so we missed his dulcet tones, it sounded like Keith Anderson on the mike on Sunday. Oh and I forgot to mention the flies....my god they are bad down there, don't bet on horse racing in Shepparton, the amount of flies on a nag could make the difference.

You should've trapped a good 'un for the upcoming Australia Day "Fastest Fly up the Dunny Wall" Races. So what's next for the lad? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So what's next for the lad? My Lad? Its nearly all 350cc stuff now, was hoping to do Gosford on the 31st but don't think his bike will be ready. Waiting to get confirmation of venue and date for the Under 16 350cc Title, looks like Tamworth on 28th Feb at this stage but thats far from definate.

With suitable meetings so few & far between its little wonder we lose so many juniors to MotoX & even Roadracing; they just wanna race as much as they can (and who can blame 'em?).
