Yeah, lots of functions on at the moment keeping people away. You will note however that the C graders werent dropped until the very last part of their races with B grade. Some messages there for riders of both grades!!

Also, Craig Chapman has decided to keep the 1000m moto challenge open until the end of February as he wants a second go. This will open it up to more riders than just A graders, particularly considering only 2 riders put their hand up for an attempt last night. Boostie has booked his attempt in well in advance, if others could do the same it will make organising the nights a lot easier. For anyone who hasnt done a few practice runs, please do so before you book your run. Craig tells me Reece's time resulted in an average of over 57kph, and Reece reported that there were sparks coming off the roller bracket as it touched the ground when the derny went through the transitions. You will need to be comfortable with travelling at speed if you are to have a go.

Thanks again to the 28 riders and also the spectators who turned up last night. 27 riders had a good night and there was some noticeable applause at times from the grandstand. All good stuff.
