Set the National Record for DD comp bike too which they failed to mention. Racing in Radelaide this weekend in the grand final for the Summit series. Unfortunately there's not enough entries to run a comp bike round so we're running in modified bike instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bit of rain Wednesday or Thursday and then just cold. Cross winds are not fun though. We're only running mod bike so I'm just in it for the lols now. And maybe the BB/MB record.

Ale Member 249 Member For: 12y 7m 24d Posted 28/03/17 01:20 AM Share Posted 28/03/17 01:20 AM (edited) Yep, cant really blame the 2 promoters that have tried to make it feasible pulling the plug. The infrastructure (apart from the actual surface and the timing) hasn't had any money spent on it by the owner in decades, owner charges a fortune to open the gates, then when something goes wrong, the promoter gets their arse torn to shreds by the keyboard warrior's that aren't even racing let alone the racer who expects the pricing to be what it was in 1998... Not to mention the personal outlay to put on the event and then hope it at least breaks even. Then throw in the IHRA vs ANDRA sh*t fight for good measure to spice things up!! Tailem bend should be killer if it lives up to what they are saying, having travelled to every state (other than WA) , travelling 1.5hrs up a multilane freeway to race on a world class surface will be epic. I highly doubt it will see any drag racing there before 2019 though, lets be realistic, its South Australia where a simple bridge take 3 years to build. In other news, Swan Hill raceway will be granted a 500K present from the local council latter this year to fix that cock up aswell..

bloodycrashboy Feeling the Love :-) Bronze Donating Members 4,409 Member For: 11y 18d Gender: Male Location: Cairns Posted 14/04/17 09:50 AM Share Posted 14/04/17 09:50 AM me and Mrs Bloodycrashboy went for a ride up on the tablelands today with a couple of good friends. The summer heat has finally abated and a relative coolness has been here over the last week. We did get a bit rained on but feeling cold was a much welcomed phenomenon 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
