FXRRC Rnd 2 - May 23

[Little Mick]

Great weather today, good racing too. I had a good run for my first proper race in Retro 600's. New PB dropping into the 1.06's for the first time too. Shame bout the couple of crashes I saw, hopefully those involved heal up quick.

I'll post up a few vids tomorrow. Rear camera was pretty shakey so will have to sort that out for next time.

Had fun trying to chase you down today Zooker... Alas the ol' girl and ol' bloke on her didn't quite cut it.... You had some awesome starts....

Well Done!

Cheers

Little Mick

Bloody hell, healing vibes to hose in need!

[Little Mick]

Congrats to Mr Ed on his day as well. New PM in his first race meet in a couple of years.. and beating the wacky curse

[Mr.Ed]

Hahaha thanks mate! Enjoyed it so much my car decided to stay there...

Can't thank you and Ryan enough for all your help!!! You guys are absolute legends is a bit too frisky in a packed van! Hahaha

Sorry to hear about al the crashes and wish everyone a speedy recovery. Saw Nick on the side of the track, not a good sight at all and a terrible way to end an otherwise great day.

Couldn't get my Gopro to stay on so I'm afraid no videos from me this time either. Not that you'd br missing much...

[Marty]

I was there to hang out, it was a pretty relaxed day but a couple of nasty accidents, I left before marshys one but saw my mate Brian lying out cold at t3

I hope you guys heal up quick

[Stu23]

What a fun day that was Thanks everyone out there, top day. Even though it was a bit chilly there was good grip.. Carl is getting faster and faster, now has a new pb of a flat 1.06 or a 1.05.9 depending if you look at timing or speedangle Faark he is nearly on me hehehe ill soon be seeing a lot more of that Flouro I reckon. Thoughts to those that crashed and Heal up fast

p.s. I will be taking the Ape's around to Dougo GP circuit and see how they go whilst i have them at least hahah

[Turbo]

Brian is on his way home now, with his family, after being released. Still a bit of a headache, twisted ankle and painful fingers but on his way to a mend.
Marshy is waiting on a second set of X-rays to see if he's broken his shin.
Still aiming for surgery tomorrow, plenty of Endone in the meantime!!

[Little Mick]

Thanks for the update Owen. Hopefully they get to post up here u no time. Someone get marshy his laptop

[Marshy]

Thanks all for the kind thoughts. The track had plenty of grip during the day, as the temp was quite warm, with no wind. But for the last race, the temp dropped pretty quickly.

The front folded under very heavy braking, virtually dead upright. Been doing it all day just fine, but in that last race of the day, the track had cooled right off. One sec upright, next sec eating pavement. I think the bike is what broke my leg/ankle.

I'm not 100% sure of what is actually damaged atm, but clearly there are a few breaks in there. Surgery tomorrow. Hope to find out more when the Dr is in tomorrow.

Glad your on the road to recovery marshy, your in the right place.
Bike looks fine, a wash and some tape, good as new
If you need a hand, you got my number.

[Helmet]

It was a great day for racing! Apparently a good day for a face full of dirt too haha
I'm doing alright, Marshy copped the worse injury for sure!
And my SV is in a very sad state haha. I'll post pics tomorrow when I take some in good light.

That sv was doing cartwheels and pirouettes about a metre off the ground... No wonder it's in bad shape

Hey Marshy....there is a very nice RSV4 and a baby Ducati on eBay. They are setup, ready to go and by pure coincidence they are located in the same suburb as you. Give the guy a call, you might be able to talk him down.

Great to hear you are Ok Brian . After you accident, your user I'd seems quite relevant

Haha, yep, good ol' Shark helmets, have protected my noodle these last few years. I definitely got the best out of mine

[Marshy]

Yep, sure is. Well spotted, Rick

I'm not sure if that's a good or bad thing. I'm thinking good at this point

Even on both sides is always good. Hope surgery goes well, make sure the doctor writes on you in texta what needs doing so you don't end up with a set of fake boobs

Bloody hell Brian, glad you're okay. Is the bike fixeable or a throwaway?

How are they with visiting hours Nick? I'm working in Marulan. Let me know if you need anything. Let me know if you don't have my number

Thanks man. The bike is fixable from the brief look I've had at it. Once I have a good look at it I'll know more. And depends how much money I want to throw at it too.

[Stu23]

And we have a new lap record set at the Douglas Park GP circuit Man those APE's sure do pull hard compared to my ickle R6 !!!! Hehehehehehe

[Helmet]

You'll have to show me this Douglas Park GP circuit Stu

Saw your riding gear at WP yesterday when we went to pick up my bike/car. Only had a glance but it seems itcame out a lot better than you did...

[dan]

Pretty frustrating couple of days down at WP for me. Spent Friday fixing the leak, Saturday had a low side at t2 that put me off for the rest of the day. Was annoying as I was banging out low 7s before and getting warmed up.

Geoff was farking flying though so don't know if I would have even been able to keep up. Well deserved taking out the class. Hopefully I'll be more up for the battle at Rnd 3!

Got video of my crash and rejoin will post up when I'm on my computer.

I was coming around behind you and saw you on the side. I came round again expecting a yellow but pleased to see you were gone. I looked around but you were no to be seen on the outfield. Bummer re the off but great you got back out.

Geoff was absolutely flying. Was riding really well all day

Thanks Bretto! Hopefully tomorrow, but don't know for sure yet.

Hey Little Mick, if I'm not out tomorrow, I'll take you up on that

Glad that my apes now hold new lap records at your place, Stu! I thought your offer to take home my stuff sounded a bit too good to be true......

Happier times a bit earlier in the afternoon:

Thanks Bill. Yeah, that last race was a bad idea. The temp had all disappeared out of the track.

I had a pretty average day, was pretty off colour with a case of man flu but got my shit together eventually .

Got all the 600 races up with a few long sections of footage some TT members Dan in race 1, Carl in race 4 and a few cameo appearances from Cameron with his starts.

[Stu23]

By the end of the day you were really shifting, found your vids on youtube great racing ... although your starts are worse than mine hehehe truly shocking always good comebacks though the field mind

Thanks mate ended the day about .3 off my Natsoft PB which considering how I felt I was pretty pumped with. Was great fun tusseling with some different people but found my thinking slightly slowed with not being 100% so didn't take all the opportunities presented too me. But wow has the grid got faster since last year!

[Mr.Ed]

You know you had a bad start when I make an appearance... hahaha apex of T8 on race 1, not even once!!!

Thanks for the footage even though my ego is not that pleased.

[Stu23]

Agreed , its pretty quick now out there

[dan]

Fuck my riding is terrible.

And yea I really should start the footage from 10 seconds into the race. I'm normally moving by then :P

[dan]

Thanks for posting the vid has given me lots to think about
