Yeah got that. It just wouldn't open from the link in Neils post. Had to save it to disk & then open it.
As an extra, when I restarted racing I went with 540, because I spent so much on all the stuff needed to race, another $80 on a stocker would have been too much. It is a good easy entry to racing, and I would hate to see it lost.


And won't somebody please think of the children?

(with apologies to the Simpsons!)

The triples at Knox have had a race day now, so we know what needs to be done.
I'll be there tomorrow with 'Earth moving equipment' again.

Anyone else keen?

What time? If I can get the car off of the missus, I could probably get over.

Since we have brought up the Keilor thing again, I would like to say is that we need look at other ways of using the facility there. It is still there. I drive by every other week and look at it and say what a bloody waste it is.
All we need is a temporary stand (scafolding) that we can make up in the morning of the race day and then take it back down at the end of the day. It has already been looked into by The Fuhrer and can be easily done. Lets use this facility the council hasnt taken it away, they havent said we cant use it, we havent been evicted from the land, the power is still there, the dirt is still there, the computer shed is still there, the track layout is still there, we have carparking, that weekend doesnt clash with onroad, we have willing members from Knox that will race at that facility.
Cummon, seriously lets get it happening. There are guys that have sold there equipment because Knox is too far for them to travel. Keilor offroad is still a club I think that race onroad

Time to dodge the bullets----------->

Cheers

Brady Jnr, honestly bloke there are no excuses for not using that facility. None what so ever. I have forgoten about the Council thing, it is out of the equation now. That doesnt hold any water anymore when it comes to why we cant still use this facility. Let the council do there plan thing when they get there fat asses off their chairs. We need to motivate the Keilor offroad members. I see you as the mascot.

Thumbs up

OK, to alleviate the triples situation, Timmy, Bob, BG and I, dumped half a meter of soil onto the 1st trippple.
After this we constructed a burm around the left hander leading up to the jumps.

If this does'nt work, I'm racing at Keilor from now on.
