We do try our best MC.

You will note on the program the 1000m moto challenge. The challenge has been laid down by Craig Chapman and will be a flying start, 1000m behind the derny.

The rider with the fastest time at the end of the challenge (which I believe to be the end of this month but Craig has not finalised this yet) will win the $100 sponsored by Craig. Any other prospective sponsors who would like to add to the prize bin would also be welcome.

There will be a maximum of 3 attempts per race night (due to time constraints) and the challengers are at this stage limited to A graders only.

On Wednesday Craig was the first rider to lodge a time, and did a 1.04.21. Steve Lewis then did a creditable 1.04.4 on 81 rollout. Max Halsdedt then had a go and went too fast too early and bailed out with a lap to go. It was pretty exciting stuff as all 3 riders were travelling at 65kph or more with their front tyre tucked in as close as possible to the roller. So at this stage Craig's money is safe but no doubt there will be plenty of A graders busting to get their hands on the $100.

The banter between the riders is also entertaining as all believe they will be the quickest. So anyone with a spare hour and a half of a Wednesday night come along and enjoy the complete program. There is a canteen operating with Spagetti Bol, Tea, coffee, cans of coke & Solo etc, home made cakes & slices, mars bars etc. Racing starts at 7.30pm and will be finished at 9, hence getting you home nice and early.

Hope to see plenty of you there.
