| Race Roundup 1st March..
WOW.. An awesome day for Lakesides first official Small Wheels Sunday.. The entire complex was abuzz with engines and big smiles, the main track in use with some d**n fast street cars in 'The Top Gear Series', the bikes on our track, and the power speedboat club on the top lake..
The people who came out to compete or spectate would have noticed some of the upgrades that have so far taken place.. There is many more to follow.. With the addition of the driver and motorcycle training that will undergo on our track, along with the go-kart club, permanent structures will be going into place. The building that is near our track will become a rider/driver briefing room as well as a training room, there will be another structure built more towards the middle of pit lane, it is shaping up to be a 2 story building, the top half will be race control and the bottom half will more than likely house a canteen and storage area..The tyre wall will be replaced with a new and improved one and will be pushed further towards the track to allow more room to setup.. Covers over the drains on the doughnut so we can utilse the full track.. All joins between the concrete and bitumen to be fixed.. There is tonnes of other upgrades that have been and going to be in place all over the complex but going into it all I'd be here for ages. One expensive bit of technology however that is in place is the 'worlds first high speed E-Toll system', I guess it's an ideal place to test one when cars and bikes are roaring through it well in excess of 200kph..
We would like to thank absolutely everyone of the participants and there crews.. It is because of each and everyone of you, that the day was a huge success.. Special mention to the scooters as you folk are Lakeside virgins, you guys and girls were a pleasure to share the track with..
Although it was extremely hot and humid today, everyone managed to keep smiles on their dials even when things weren't going their way.. I myself had 3 bikes decide they did not want to participate due to the conditions and alot of others faired the same..
We ended up finishing 1 hour early and although the track time was offered up to all, no-one took it..
Was an excellent combined day with Minimoto, Motard and Scooters all coming together..
Two very minor crashes with 2 Snr Minimoto riders in separate incidents, I may have footage from one on the helmet cam, I'll let you know if I do.. Also I'd say some people would be sporting some sunburn..
Noise restrictions/control is exactly where we need to keep it, everyone did well to take the little amount of time it needs, in order to run on the the track..
Every single bike also had race numbers on..
Everyone that had to do all the little things to their bikes in order to run on the track, should be commended, I am pleased to see that people are willing to follow rules and structure..
Last but not least, Huge thanks to Lyndall, Adam, Wendy, Rob(scooters), Tina(motards).. For your help and assistance in making Lakeside's inaugural race series a success.
