All the things you need to go racing!!!

And a Canam DS450MX

A short 5 hour drive to the Nations Capital Canberra could be considered our "home race" for this season. Fairburn Park is as close as our national race schedule takes us.

Overnight camping in the Middleton motel sees outside temperatures peak at -3 degrees. An early knock on the door from Thomas the ex xteam mechanic reports brisk (read freezing) conditions with a good chance of rain. Bed seems the best alternative but "factory" Dan and Zac are already up and wanting theirs quads ready for racing so I guess its up and at it.

The Fairburn Park track has been very well groomed thanks to the efforts of Canam  team mate Ric Beer and practice goes well, not even getting dirty! The track is flowing and technical making it great to ride on

Race 1- An outside starting gate draw and an average start equates to a lot of work to do to head for the front of the pack. Moving foward and slotting into 3rd position behind KTMs Len Pipicello was the best I could do with race winner Ric Beer clearing out from the field.  Result 3rd

Race 2- A better start and passing Team Kawasakis Todd Oleary, Jeff "Gusty" McKee gives me another 3rd place finish behind Len.

Race 3- A holeshot care of the best stating position makes for an easier race although the pack behind certainly let me know they were there with a few gentle rear wheel rubs. Pulling to the left sees Len and Ric pass and I thought a tow from the boys might be a good idea. Len I could stay with but Ric again pulled away to comfortably win. Result 3rd

Overall Position Vets 45 and over Round 2 -  3rd

Thanks to Ric and Terri Beer, Trudy Van Vliet and the QRCV for the tremendous effort required to get the 2nd round off and running. Thanks also to Canam / BRP, 47 Industries  and CRC  for continued support.
