Smiles and laughter were the order of the days events.. Absolutely beautiful blue Sky's after a forecast of 'rain periods'.. The downside was that the winds were quite strong and as a result a quick shade took a hit..
Great to see all the same and even more smiling faces getting around trackside..As always, Motard and Scooter guys and girls, it's a pleasure to share the track.. I also heard some aren't feeling to well and are very sick, so were shacked up at home today, get well soon kids..
Medic had 1 call out today.. Rider had scrap marks and a sore shoulder but otherwise fine.. Pics to follow..
As of the next Rnd, sliders are to be fitted to ALL bikes that enter the track.. This means that for
Minimoto..
ALL handle bar ends must have the hand grip covering the bar or sliders attached.. There will be no bare aluminum or steel pegs, all pegs MUST be either plastic or have sliders attached to them..
Motard.. Bar end sliders or barkbusters.. Sliders on foot pegs, even after the peg flips up and it is possible for the foot peg mount to scrape, then a slider must be attached to it.. If a bash plate touches while the bike is laid on its side, then it also must have a slider attached..If the rear axle can touch the track during a slide then, they it is required to run axle sliders..
Scooters..Side/centre stands are to be either removed or have sliders fitted so they will protect the track in the event of a slide.. Also unsure whether it's a gearbox or what but, the box that hangs near the left hand side rear axle, is also to have a slider attached.. Handle bar ends must be covered by handgrip or bar ends/sliders..
All this must be complied by with all bikes before entering the racing circuit.. This is to ensure that everyone has somewhere to ride for decades to come.. Also it benefits all track users, as the surface will stay in better condition for everyone for longer, win-win..
Reminder that 'The Shak' will be here next Sunday to film for their program..
It is free of charge to all AASA license holders(test and tune day
), those with no license can obtain one on the day.. It could be a good opportunity for those that have not been to Lakeside, to come and check the track out..
Special thanks to the days volunteers Kristy, Donna and Christian.. Further thanks to everyone for the great day, see you all next time..
Pics to follow..
