Well it looks like I'll finally be back on deck full time next week with regular reports and pictures , this weeks results are with the compliments of two ladies from the salisbury club, who graciously donated their pictures for us to use.

Those ladies were my wife , Mandy and Tammy Makepeace , thanks heaps girls , looks like I'll be out of a job if they keep it up!

I dropped the grandkids off around 12.20pm and the track looked like a belter as it was a dark grey colour which indicates it's holding plenty of water. I know I saw Kevin bickle doing the track late on the previous night and he was putting water on it then.

That night and early the next morning it also recieved plenty of water from the much welcomed showers we recieved , and this track excells when it has plenty of water to hold it together and makes it a fast surface to race on because of the extra traction it gives.

Now for the racing.

Thirty four riders turned up to race on a great track in perfect weather ( after the record heatwave anything less than 40c is perfect) but this day was almost windless and rather cool around 21c.

Tiny Tots; only three raced today and as they all recieve the same points because theirs is a non-competitive grade they all came up trumps. those little racers were , Jalyn Hach , Malaya Hach & Emily Makepeace.
