OK,
After a lengthy telecon today with Daryl, I am happy to inform you all that we are firstly OK to run the December track day on the 16th.
This is of course so we can get together for the Christmas breakup and Meet/greet Shane making the trip from Thailand during the same week.
For those not already aware,
Shane is the current Thailand Open Supermoto Champion, recently crowned and given the Number 1 plate and a trophy he had to get an elephant to bring home.
There have been generous offers from withing VSMR to afford a bike for Shane to ride on the day, no doubt all of ours by the end.
We have been handed a Golden Gift with the association firstly with Braxton for giving us the chance to prove ourselves, and even more so now with Daryl being a long time motorcyclist himself, a man with vision for Sport, and for the venue he now controls.
I commented to him regards the grounds and the pictures from the weekend are a good indicator that together we are certainly on the same page.
In relation to a new track layout,
This will be discussed at length between Daryl and myself at the next track day (25th/11/06) but the initial indicator is we will be having a working bee in January like I have already said in other threads, and that will be the start of your new dirt section!
So before you all start asking,
Yes again, that means 2 dirt sections ;)
There is a lot of work before that happens but I thought I would at least confirm we are going big!
I will be relying heavily now for support from within here,
So if you say something I am going to hold you to it,
Understand that now!
Price increase is good for us in every way and I will elaborate on that later.
Daryl has already spent considerable time cleaning up the site and I will be repairing the fencing very shortly around the pits where it has been bent and become unlaced from the structure.
The Cafe area is now revamped and more is underway now.
We have been given a thumbs up for the continuing attempt to keep the site tidy, for your behaviour as a group was also commended, as was the sweeping of the litter from the racing lines, showing consideration for others.
Well Done to all those who have also had the pleasure of riding the GPTC under the VSMR banner.
I personally also thank you for the efforts expended by what I consider my friends.
Thankyou.
It is shaping up to be a successful year all round for Motard in Victoria,
A great future in 2007 with a partnership in spirit with GPTC,
The Incorporation of the Club as a legal entity,
Possibly some racing under a VSMR banner for some of us,
The website still meeting the needs of the new and the not so new
and with a revitalised format to curb the outages,
And the possibilty of a National Motard Riders Register with State autonomy to each relevant State and ability to run racing at local level.
So in summary really,
All I can say is due to the commitment and professionalism displayed by the people coming from within here we have a healthy future for both the road & social scene as well as a good chance of longevitity within the new revitalised GPTC, a new longer dirt section to add to the one we already use, if we continue on keeping on....
Roll on 2007 and grouse weather! :twisted:
