    Hoping to convert the 250 back to original style to do some historic racing next year
    So some new 2fifftycc stickers will be needed and some fellow members to come cheer on when I make it ur way that's all we ask for the more spectators the better we race!!!

    So a brief report on today!!!
    Temp was good so I was pumped for first race a 10 lapper was dicing with Ray until lap 6/7 when my chain snapped and sent me off at turn 4 kept it upright
    Got to pit new chain on and every race was a replay of me getting Gary into turn 1 and him taking me back at 4 and me chasing to finish behind!!!!
    In last 250 race a few didn't grid which gave me clear air to get to 4th in class I held Gary off till lap 5 of 7 where it got the better of me and I finish 5th (best results for sdrrs this year) want to big thanks to officials marshals and volunteers!!! Friends and family for coming out to support and help and Wayne reed form Osella Photographics for soon to be best photos yet!!! And to everyone following me!!!
    Also to pete(67) for the lend of the radiator so my weekend wasn't ruined I owe a lot of beers will be posted back tomorrow and to my sponsors
    Motorcycle MAD Mechanical & Dyno
    C.L. Kitchens & Cabinetry
    Kevlar Electrical Pty Ltd
    For the awesome support this year I hope I did you proud and looking forward to 2016 couldn't do it without you!!!
    Will post overall finish when I work it out but think I got 11th was hoping for 10th or better but learnt a lot in my first year of racing ✊

    Also would like to thank the forum for all the help with tech problems I recommend this site to all the racers and road riders
    Also @Nathan Oliver for heading out on Sunday with his partner to watch the racing really does make it better knowing people are there to watch you race sorry if I wasn't most talkative at times but enjoyed the chats between racing

    Thanks guys bike will look a little different next year going historic racing aswell as sdrrs!!!
    Last couple of photos till next year Brenden (368) and I battled all year swapping places with hard clean racing few snaps showing that and a good size train showing the 250 class is very competitive
    Also a big thanks to Simon (@simidau ) for all the help and tips to all us new guys this year Simon wants to competition to be tight and fair and I think he is doing a top job of getting us all up the front (slow down might help lol) image.jpeg image.jpeg image.jpeg image.jpeg
