Hey Postie,
I think there will be myself Barkla, Damo and New fella Chris coming for easter from Toowoomba alone. I will speak to the Quad rider crew and see if there are more interested in coming to Easter. Would like to see a full grid of quads there. Is that new guy from Yuleba interested in doing MX at all.
Regards from the Madamn.

Good to see you fellas , speedway noms is only about 15 bucks, good value for money.
I think the Yuleba Guy wants to try mx , though he is sceptical how the stock warrior will handle it , I think we have a club day before Easter , we'll see if he likes it then I guess. He was just like the rest of us bush hacks starting out  , Thanx to ATV Action at least he now knows he has a top class Quad MX track basically in his back yard, where as before the Qld Titles he didn't know Quads were active in Roma
Quick Question; how do quads normally line up /start in speedway ,
Is it rolling starts , standing start , grid formation , we were lost without the gates and being all of us were relativly new to flattrack we were all over the place like a madmans breakfast ? [ pun not intended  ] |

Hey postie,
I will check the GCR's for start procedure. I do Know that in speedway bike racing it ic usually done with a maximum of 4 riders in a straight line stationary start with a elastic band in front of them which is released from one end or using a start mechanism that lift a rope up in front of the riders.
At Brissy for the stadium event because there were 20 quads in the start we had a staggered start of 3 in the front row 2 in the next then 3 then 2 and so on.
Regards from the Madman

Cheers for the Info MAdman,
Staggered start sounds fair and safe , I didn't notice any start rope , though They do have a green and red light though  of course 
We all had a bit of trouble reading and obeying the lights come to think of it,
apparently solid red light means STOP
Flashing red = slow down / under caution
green is obvious
If we got 20 quads out there the spectators would be climbing the fences 
I'm reckon the Avgas brings out the animal in em |

Do we need to send in an entry for the MX racing for Easter in the Bush? Or do we just rock up and sort it out there?
Thanks.

MX Supp regs should be on mqld site about 3 to 4 weeks before Easter and mail entries are prefered, it just helps get things under way quicker!
Normally racing gets under way by 9 AM and Presentation done by 5 or 5.30 PM which should give us time to refuel and hit the speedway by 6PM and it should be under way by 6.30pm till 11 pm or so .
The speedway we enter on the night !
Camping at the track can be convenient if you are interested in 1/8 mile drasgs the next day |
