you first timers did great out there!!! I will start posting pics from practice shortly...
I had a pretty good day, almost got cleaned up a few times though, had one visit to the kitty litter and an excursion over the curb both thanks to the same lunatic. I'll post the videos up at some point.
TeamZero pipped me over the line in race 1 and in race 3 i managed to do the same to someone else who decided to back off a few meters early

Life's too Short- YOLO!
First up Nick, congratulations ... 1:06.865R ... wow! And previous record holder JC (1:07.4098) came off in N18 trying to keep up! Plus your nice 1st place trophy, for 600 Clubsport!
We had a ball in #16 ... great fun garage. Had a few battles with Bretto and James out there ... and Dan picked up a 2nd place trophy for D class (600cc & Retro I think).
Lookin forwrd to some sleep and do it all again tomorrow ... going to be hot!
Some picks from today...

Nasty crash on first bears race, made the news, hopefully everyone heals up quickly.
Quick question, I've misplaced my St George membership card (little piece of cardboard), what will be the repercussions of this? Will I have trouble registering? Also, how do I go about getting into the track tomorrow morning, what do I use to get in, seeing as my tickets will be used by other people...
Use your ARDC membership card to get in the gate (or if you're early and towing a bike, they may not ask for a ticket - they didn't yesterday). Your membership card doesn't get you in anyway

Anyone know who came off at T5 in the second restart for clubby? Was right behind him when it happened, got some footage of it, looked like the bike squashed him a bit, didn't see if he was fine though.
And also, I have some videos I wanna edit from my camera, but they are .mov files. Windows Movie Maker refuses to open them, so how does everyone edit their videos?
MOv are quicktime from memory... google a freeware to do it

Was a gold bike, Nick said he knew who it was. That last 600 Clubsport was like the race start practice that just kept on giving.
got some photos up, haven't had time to edit properly or pick out he best ones, Marshy all of yours were out of focus (you were going too quick!) I tried to get one of all the people who post on here, Rick you are the easiest as your bike sticks out like the proverbials

Dan is staying overnight at Westmead, he is doing well but hanging for a smoke…. and he has to wake up to this:

They had to cut my leathers and my boots which I'm pretty devo about. In hospital overnight should be having surgery tomorrow for the fracture.
Bit of a bummer but hey, it happens. Shame because yesterday was so good. Just pushing a bit too hard today. My ambition far outweighed my talent haha
All in all, I fucking loved it. I can't compare anything I've ever done with road racing. Can't wait to get out there again. I did a PB on 600cc qualifying today taking it pretty easy and dropped 2 seconds off my best time in clubby qualifying putting me 7th on the grid. I was stoked. Feel like my riding as increased a notch. When's next race?
do a burnout
Oh, I won a trophy as well for 2nd place in D Grade clubby coming second only to JC / the grasshopper who is very fast! I had no idea and couldn't believe it. Shame I couldn't back it up today. I think my transition from just being out enjoying it to 'oh shit I'm in the mix wasn't handled very well.
Thanks to Rob, Rick and Marshy for helping get various parts of my bike sorted. Was in a little bit of a panic last week. Congrats to everyone out there - takes balls to line up on one of those grids. Speaking of grids... When my dumb ankle is healed I'm going to the drags to try nail those starts
do a burnout
Good work dan I'm glad to see you ok.

I believe under the MA rules you were allowed 2 more restarts for the Clubby race...? But ah well... Was looking at it from the rescue vehicle perspective, not racing, but enjoyed watching! Totally different perspective for 2 days... Well done to everyone who had a go!

Worst part is I don't have my lap timer or camera so I can't download the info and review it here in hospital :(
do a burnout
Pretty sure it was Gary. I'm sure whoever it was will want to see the footage. St George should help you get in touch. Fantastic weekend though good fun racing. Thanks to all involved. It's the first time I have done double duty 600 and club sport. Loved it and will definitely do it again.
Also congratulations to Marshy fantastic results all weekend.
Was almost 5pm by then. Race control told us on Sat that as long as race is started by 5 it can go ahead. They would have been cutting it close to get the bikes back on the grid by the time recovery was off the track. I think they also factored in fatigue as another reason to can it.
Well done to everyone. I flagged on turn 15 on Sunday. Just watching gave butt Puckering moments all day. Great place to flag from and made up for t8 on Sat.
Wow Leanne gets so far off her bike I thought she was going to run along beside it.
I'll be picking the collective brains trust for advice as I'd like to be ON the track for rnd 1 next year instead of watching.

Chris Baker told me that 2 red flags meant that the race couldn't be restarted again - MA regs. Not sure if that is right though.....
I strongly suspect the 0 points for race three AND 0 for the handicap (same race) have cost me the championship. 50 points lost.

Toughen up Princess. Your not going to let that little scratch keep you off the bike surely. Bike night is not until next thursday 14 nov. Plenty of time.When my dumb ankle is healed I'm going to the drags to try nail those starts
Nah seriously all the best with your recovery Dan. If I woke to that I'd pass out, wake again, pass out and repeat until back where it should be.
But if it helps speed things up I have some special bandaids for you.

I'm not sure how to interpret that - is an event across multiple restarts ???

Quickshifter wasnt working, Nick tried hard with me to fix it but it wasnt going to play then Blew up my main bike Sat practice !! main sprocket nut came off the spare bike bike during sat race, then Crashed my wife and kids bike ( my spare ) on Sunday 1st race !! someone dinged my daughters car in the car park, someone scratched my car in the car park, my bikes fell over in the trailer on the way home !!! Not the best of weekends, but i might had saved 2nd place in clubsport ..
Cropping plus light-room was playing around, disapponted in myself that I didn't get there earlier, I had the F stop to low and lost alot of zoom (only using a kit lense) & didn't realise until the 1000cc race (pretty boring photos as they were so spread out).
on the plus Ray Oxford said that if I go upto him beforehand at the next meet he will aim to get more pics of me (hooray!)
What a weekend that was!!! I was pretty impressed with how the whole weekend was run, Im defiantly racing again rd1 next year.
Glad to hear your ok daniel son, You sure had that throttle screwed around!!! Thumbs up to everyone, was a real good vibe out there
