  |
|
| At this stage it looks about 90% chance of quads racing at Gum Valley March 3 and 4, this is a legendary track just south of Mackay, this track is hosting a round of the Australian MX champs this year, not very often we get to ride a track like this, who's keen? |

This is a 2 day MX event, so far the proposal is to run vintage and quads on the Saturday, mabe one round Sunday morning.
I have suggested A and B grade, these will be run together unless we get more than 20 quads.
The club would like a full grid to make it worthwhile (20), so thats what I promised them  |

Helen and I are selling our car and buying a dual cab ute so if yas don't mind ruffing it, your more than welcome to jump in with us. I'll just borrow the old mans tandem trailer or my sisters mega horse float.

Alrighty then we can do this if you don't mind coming via roma . If you go via Roma through Emerald it will be 1271 km one way or if you want the short way for you is through Rocky 1134 Km. If you get a trayback you should be able to fit one quad side ways and could hook up to my trailer at roma if you choose to come this way, the weight should be just right to take the kick out of the springs and make for a smooth trip.Or if you get a styleside we might need the tandem or the float ,Unless it is an F650 your thinking of bying , no need for no trailer then  |
