Friday Night Winter Track Racing
- Thread starter jasco
- Start date
Well that was fucking awesome.
Most fun I've had on 2 wheels in a very very long time, definately be back next week. I think I'll sandbag in 5th for a couple more weeks while I learn the ropes a bit more, but am very keen to have a crack at 4th grade too.
Nice to put a face to the name Dunk

Yep it was a fun night, big fields, a couple of crashes, and some good racing. Hope to see some more farkiners out there soon...I should have left the handlebar tavern before closing though, not the best way to recover I'll be out there again tomorrow for some training seeing as the St Ives XC has been cancelled - thank god someone put a roof on a track somewhere

I'm in, but delaying/sandbagging my return to Div 2 for at least another week. I seem to be having a problem with my hip at the moment, I've pulled up very sore after a motorpacing session lastnight - nothing a testosterone patch (got any floating around at work Alchemist?) and a hip replacement won't fix

Neither of those options are going to work, but if I have to choose 16mg Nicorette thanks Have you got your bike together yet Alchemist? I don't think you'll need to worry about Garth, your pretty quick of the line. Friday night is Sprint Night - yay! There may be some big fields in the sprints this week, might be some people taking flyers while the rest of the guys watch each other

Day licences are available somewhere around 23 to 25 bucks, Paul indicated he usually reduces the entry fee for those on day licences too.Quick question for Jasco, did you get a day licence last week for racing? If so thats great that paul is running the day licence - pretty rare in road circles. Might be a good reason for some more people to come and try it out

daGonz will be heckling from the stands.

Just thought I would post and say hi, I saw your post regarding the Friday night racing and last night I headed over to the drome and check out the action.
Man it looks like heaps of fun and would love to give it a go, do they have a beginners practice night, my old man has an old track bike in the shed a Malvern Star something star he said I could use, ot sure if it would pass?
I geuss you guys were out (shame I dont know what you look like or ride) what Div are you in, I thought the bloke riding the Surly might of been a MTB er but could see where he was sitting after the race. Great Night
Regards

It did didn't it... I think I'm sold. Just need to source a bike for when I can next get out there in a couple of weeks. Don't know if they have a beginners night, but fatnold picked his bike up on the friday arve, rocked up and raced div 5. Jasco, Alchemist were also in Div 5 last night, and Dunk in Div 3.
Yeah it's not really a surly, but it's alchemists
Cheers
Gonz - and track makes 7...
I was out last night, was in the retro red jersey on a black unmarked bike. As the others have said div 5 is the best place to start off, and once you get a feel for the track and following someones wheel you can move up to div4.Are you a member of any club? Cause it's much cheaer if you are than paying $25 a week for day licenses.Come say hi next week -garth
