30 Jun 09 - During the last club day only one Snr Lites rider supplied a flaggie which is a very poor turnout.  Due to this reason the Snr Lites class will again have to supply a flaggie at the next club day.   If we get insufficient flaggies next club day the snr lites classes will have there laps cut before the other classes.
The points have been posted from last club day.

28 Jun 09 - The club would especially like to thank the parents who turned up at the working bee and where out on the track trying to get rid of excess water and mud. Unfortunately their kids did not ride due to the decision of the club to not include some junior classes for the club day.

27 Jun 09 - Due to the rain last night after much deliberation between parents and committee members at the working bee it has been decided that the club day will go ahead but only the classes from 85cc 12-15 and above will be racing.  That means that 85cc 9-11, 65cc, Div 1 and Div 2 will not be racing this club day.  This decision was not made lightly and reasons for the decision where:
1.   Safely for the riders.
2.   Track conditions.
3.   Possibility of damage to the bikes (burnt clutches, cooking engines).
4.   Time restraints due to stranded bikes having to be dug out of bogs.

At the end of the year if one on the riders that missed this club day is in line for the club champion trophy his points for the year will be averaged out and then allocated to them so as not to be disadvantaged.

27 Jun 09 - Due to some of the junior classes not being run tomorrow, some of the parents of these riders that help out during a club day will not be there.  What we will need is for some volunteers to come forward to help out tomorrow to cover these positions.  Could any volunteers please come to the back door during sign on to see what position we need filled.   One of the main positions is a first aid officer to render the initial first aid to a downed rider before an ambulance officer comes onto the track.

23 Jun 09 - It has been reported to the club that during the last club day there was young boy about 10/12 year old sneaking around unattended sites and stealing from the sites.  We hate the thought that one of our members/members family are stealing from other members.   Unfortunate as it is, it is up to all members to keep an eye out for any suspicious  people walking around yours or other sites or walking around with gear and equipment that looks like it is not theirs.   Any one caught stealing will be referred to police and will be banned from the club and the track.

23 Jun 09 - Club day again this weekend.  So that means working bee on Saturday morning.  Please come along and help to prepare the track for racing on Sunday.  Also all Snr Lites A, B and C grade riders you need to nominate a flaggie for the day.  If there is a problem with not enough flaggies nominated any time lost will affect your races before it affects the other classes.

15 Jun 09 - The club day yesterday went off well.  The idea of a class supplying flaggies worked as we got enough flaggies from the nominated class so we were able to get practice away on time.  This enabled us to get in two rounds of 4 laps and one round of 3 laps.  We will continue to improve the running of the club day so we can get to three 4 lap races.  Next club day it will be the Snr Lites A, B and C grade classes that will have to supply a flaggie for the day.   Another idea that we may try is having the club day sign on sheets on the web site.   This will allow riders to download the form, fill it out and bring it to sign on on Sunday morning.  So on a Sunday all that will be required is to pay for the day and have your name added to the class sheets.

The points for the club day have now been posted to web site.

11 Jun 09 - Here is some more info for the club day.  In line with the continued effort to reduce time on race days you will no longer have to register prior to scrutineering. Both scrutineering and registration will open at the same time and you may proceed in any order. Please be aware however that your class position will not be guaranteed until you have registered.

Only the Junior Lites class will need to present their log books at scrutineering. This is to verify that you are endorsed to ride the bike you present. Please note that all junior riders will still be required to present log books at registration as normal.

With the new practice restrictions that have been forced onto us by Motorcycling Queensland, it has caused some heart ache for both the practice organisers and riders alike.   Please do not complain to practice organisers as they are volunteers, about being to long between practice sessions as we can only have 20 riders on the track during a session.   If the rope is across the track entrance,  DO NOT enter  the track as the 20 rider limit has been reached.  You have to wait for next session.
