"Bairnsdale Track Day" - Sunday 8th November

[BennyV]

G'day ALL!

I am running another track day at Bairnsdale Kart Track, Sunday November the 8th!
Everyone who attended the last one in March had an absolute blast!
This is your opportunity to have a crack at a proper short course Motard style circuit! This track held one of the Australian Championship Supermoto rounds a few years ago.
This practice day will be bitumen only (at this stage, but a dirt section might be added),

The MV permit will be hosted under and the day will be run under the Traralgon Motorcycle club (TMCC).


As the day is to be MV licenced under TMCC those people attending who are not TMCC members (which probably is all on this site) would have to pay an additional $15 day membership.
If you don't hold an MA comp licence a day permit would need to be purchased also about $20.

Costing for the day!
$50 for all (to cover track hire and permits etc)
$15 for one day TMCC membership
$20 for one day licence if u don't hold an MA license.

So minimum cost $50, max $85

As its a short course (but bigger than TT) all motards welcome, 250's, 450's, 650's. We would be able to have a session for all level of riders. Last track day we ran 3 x 20min sessions per hour, but they seemed long, so 4x15min sessions will be tried this time!

Again, we can run the track in both directions, anticlockwise morning, clockwise afternoon, that way it's like havint 2 different tracks! :D:D:D

So people, come down and have a great day! There be more times to ride than u'll have energy too!

For those who dont know, bairnsdale is about 3 to 3.5 hours East from CBD of Melbourne.

http://vsmr.net/albums/tracks-roads/Bairnsdale_Kart_track.sized.jpg

So if u can confirm, please PM me with your Real name, SupermotoAus name and Bike u'll be on. We need approx 20 riders to make the day!

Last time we had over 30 riders attend, and I'm guessing there will be a few more this time as the MX guys had a blast, and told their mates! :D:D:p
So drop me a line, it'll be a ball again!

[Woolf555]

Woo Hoo!!!:roost: :up:

If you just thought about it last time but didn't come down you missed out! Just do it!

[Dyer]

omg omg omg omg i am there!!

gotta get the crf build going then! and my dad on the 690, haven't spoken to him about it yet but, should be in.

he's a TMCC member i think, dunno if i am anymore.

[MarkeeMark]

Oh yeah I'm in for this. No accidents this time.

[BennyV]

Hey Dyer, is Scotty ur old man?

[Dyer]

yeah thats him, how did you know.

god, his name gets everywhere!

[BennyV]

haha, I've known him for years & years!

Raced MX with him! and he's still blood quick! lol

[Muzzard]

8th November you say ;)
Good chance I'm in for this one ...

[Martyd]

Is this going to be worth the monstrous drive???

[charlie]

do you have to run all the gear like catch cans and frame sliders to participate?

[Dyer]

haha, I've known him for years & years!

Raced MX with him! and he's still blood quick! lol

yeah he's still racing mx too, and i cant keep up :(

[shitbmxrider]

Is this going to be worth the monstrous drive???


Fuck Yeah!

We can put the trailer on the D-Max and get work to pay for the fuel...

[ZuluFoot]

Yes I'm in :up:

[Wobbly]

Yep :up: :up:

[BennyV]

Ok, so I see the guys who came to the last one are there with bells on! If that doesn't say how good a day it is nothing will! hahaha

Catch cans & frame & peg sliders are optional! (not required)
We had a few MX guys turn up last time with their MX bikes with skinnys (tyres) fitted to std wheels, and they had an absolute ball!

There is no special requirements needed, except for a bike in good working order.

The sunday has been chosen as it suits a lot of people better, and the drive back to melb isn't too bad either!
Definatly worth the trip! Ask anyone who attended last time!
I travel that far nearly every time i have to ride!

If you want to use tyre warmers, you will need to bring a generator, the track is super grippy though so don't be worried if you dont have them!

This time I will be trying to use some more of the clubs facilities eg: Club BBQ for lunch & the PA system to notify you of the next class to be on the track! (these things were offered to me after the last day there.)

A few guys came down the night B4 and had a good night in Bairnsdale, but there is no camping at the track!
Any other questions u have just ask! Don't miss out because u didn't know something about the day!

[BennyV]

Bloody oath worth the trip Marty!
Come down we can show the CRF force! hahaha
And as it's all bitumen ur bike wont get dirty! hahaha

[Martyd]

Well - here it is- Are you all ready for it???

[Martyd]

I WILL BE THERE!!!


Disclaimer: Marty will be attending the day regardless of weather, but should it actually rain - will be seen sitting on the CRF whilst still on the ute making Vroom Vroom noises. Under no circumstances will the risk of dirtying the CRF be considered with the balck sludgey shit that comes with wet area's. Lap times will be judged on a "back of the ute style points system" and will count as an official "track day" attended classification..

[HyperGez]

I'm rostered on all weekend of the 18th.
Not gonna get to this one, sorry fella's, but at this stage i'm out.

[MarkeeMark]

Just a point to note about optional catch cans.

I would advise everyone to make some attempt to contain their overflows/breathers because if you go down you will leave fluid on the track and this could be very dangerous to the riders behind you.

As a common courtesy maybe think about doing it for your fellow riders on the day, it will also save a clean up if necessary.

They are not hard to fit and can easily be rigged up on the day with an empty can/drink bottle, some gaffa/race tape and cable ties.
Just ask around the pits if you're unsure.

Cheers Mark

[Wobbly]

And Marty will drink as many redbulls as necessary to 'make' the required number of catch cans :up:

[charlie]

can i get a ride with someone?? i can chip in for fuel. i would love to go racing again!

[SMC690]

Catch cans are for people who can't keep up with technology. ;)

[charlie]

Catch cans are for people who can't keep up with technology. ;)

[BennyV]

Cheers! BV

[Dyer]

just wondering how the groups will be set up, as in speed classes or capacity?

[Martyd]

Do i get a lap of honour...or 2?

[SM93]

lap of horror!!!

[Martyd]

lap of horror!!!

soooooo nasty!!!!!!!

[MarkeeMark]

Dyer groups will be slow, medium, fast and juniors (if there are any). Nominate yourself but if you pose a danger you'll be asked to move up or down.

[bandy]

Where's this at ?
I used to live at Metung and was in the lakes entrance mx club in the early 80's
and done gippsland centre mx and raced my power boat with the paynesville
aquatic club..?

[BennyV]

The Bairnsdale Kart track, just Melb side of Bairnsdale, next to the Bairnsdale aerodrome!

Lakes Entrance was a cool track! I raced the last Gippy centre MX they held there back in '91'.
So yeah, ur in the right area! lol

Marty! all ur laps can be laps of honour if u like! just with a few other bikes around u! Call the ur escort hahaha! (what ever plays in your mind is fine!) lol

[Upon-One]

Dont you mean slow, medium, fast and Husaberg ? :p

[Flash]

It's meant to be slow, medium, fast and DNF (Berg)

[Upon-One]

But they are fun while they last....:lol:

[MarkeeMark]

Dont you mean slow, medium, fast and Husaberg ? :p

haha when you faux riders actually turn up, then I might entertain the notion you're actually fast!
Bring it on. I'll supply the lap timer! What will you wage that my 450 can do a better time????

[Upon-One]

Hardly a fair comparison, be interesting to see how fast you can go riding both. ;)

[MarkeeMark]

Hardly a fair comparison, be interesting to see how fast you can go riding both. ;)

I'd love to give the Berg a few laps to compare.

[Upon-One]

Sure Mark, better practise riding on your handlebars beforehand, tis the only way your gonna keep the front wheel down :)

[shitbmxrider]

Ooh, im really looking forward to this :D

[Martyd]

considering video footage on facebook...it seems all i have to do is make it past the first few corners to claim the Markeemark scalp...

[BoneGraft]

Sure Mark, better practise riding on your handlebars beforehand, tis the only way your gonna keep the front wheel down :)

Nick, don't put shit on Mark. He's the fastest S2 rider in Victoria......;)

[Gonzo]

[dangermouse1100]

Unfortunately for me its just a little bit too far for me to ride there and back, i could do it but wouldn't get much time on track.If i ever get a bit financial a towbar and trailer will be in the works.

You can go faster with a car & trailer than on your bike ?

One of the reasons I ride a bike is to reduce travelling time, must be me.

I can't go, flying to NZ that day, but will do next one.

[SMC690]

Can anyone from Melbourne give me a lift up with bike?

If so, I am in.

[huskyboy610]

Can anyone from Melbourne give me a lift up with bike?

If so, I am in.

I probably can, just need to find some time in the next few weeks to fit a tow bar on the car.

Pretty sure my easy trailer can cope with 3 motards.

[Grizzly]

I've got a trailer, 7x4; just in the process of adding some tie down points for the front and I'm ready to go. Can fit an extra bike in. I'm in Pascoe Vale and am happy to drop past and pick someone else up on the way through. Not sure if I'm going up in the morning or the night before but I'm happy to take just the bike if the rider wants to go down with someone else. We can load the bike during the week.

[SMC690]

Kewl, we have fit two tards and an R6 on Nicks slut trailer.
If you need a hand fitting the towbar let me know. I am pretty flat out for every weekend until Melbourne Cup though.

Nah getting a pro to put one on, apparently its a bit of a pain on my car. Just need to find the time when I can leave the car there etc...

By my calculations it's at least 5 hours ride time just to get there, (from where i live anyway), thats 10 hours riding without even getting on the track. Maybe i'm too soft. :shrug:

Nuh mate I think you excused this one time!

I have a trailer you can borrow but not much good down here!

[Flash]

Not sure if I can squeeze it in but you have a lift if I am!

[SMC690]

Sweet. A few options...

[shitbmxrider]

Juz, I gots the D-Max, and im borrowing my housemates bike tralier, im gunna be leaving reeet fookin early sunday morning to get there tho...

[Upon-One]

What time do we need to be there ?

[ben100]

i wont be there this time benny bikes will be in perth by that date hopefully.

[shitbmxrider]

What time do we need to be there ?



9 or 10, I would have thought..

I wont be late this time!

As it is, I have something on the saturday nite, and will be taking it easy and getting a good nites sleep before I head down

[BennyV]

I'll have the gates open to the track at 8:30am, sign-in starting 8:45 till 9:45 then a riders briefing at 9:45, with the first session starting at 10am.

This gives any of the guys coming down from Melb time to get down and not having to leave super super early!

Any other questions, i"ll try to answer the best I can!

[Muzzard]

I'm a definite maybe Ben
I have family commitments ATM mate that are taking precendence.
If I can I will be there for sure :up:

[BennyV]

No worries Muzz! Thanks Mate!

[charlie]

i am a definate not likely unless i can get thererreererere

[huskyboy610]

i am a definate not likely unless i can get thererreererere

Don't worry, I'm waiting on cost of freight on a towbar as we speak..
Then got 3 weeks to work out how to put it on :roll:

[Grizzly]

i am a definate not likely unless i can get thererreererere

I'm definately maybe a possible, but likely will be there, unless all fails; short of that I'm a certainty :D wtf???

I'll be there!

[huskyboy610]

I'm definitely going now, as towbar should be here on Wednesday. So got two spots free on the trailer for anyone who needs a lift. Though think maybe Charlie and Juz have reserved them.

Thinking of maybe heading up the Saturday arvo, but is there anywhere to stay thats safe to leave the bikes hitched on an open trailer overnight?

[charlie]

get a big ass chain mate.. you need a hand to fit the towbar? maybe we can have a garrage night session and do my carb when it gets here.. i got two pair of tiedowns if you need a pair two steve..

[BennyV]

***NOTE TO ALL ATTENDING***

Does anyone who is planning on attending the Track day at Bairnsdale hold a current Level 2 First Aid or Equiv?

St. Johns are being pains, and Sam who was going to do it, may not be able to attend the day now.
If you put up ur hand to represent to do it or can bring someone who is, your ride costs will be paid for. (Free track day!) :D

Let me know ASAP please B4 I organise somethig else.
I'd rather give the chance to someone who is attending, to get the free day.

Cheers Ben.

[huskyboy610]

I've got a level 2 St Johns, Just updated it last November so CPR should still be current on the day.. just...

I've got a fair bit of first aid stuff at home, I'll get my sister to steal more for the emergency room before the day...

Can also do emergency acupuncture if anyones game :p

[Martyd]

Benny, I am Level 2 (but no idea where my current certificate is)... My issue is that if I lend my Bike To Iddon, its no track day for me....But will know closer to the date. If it works out, i'm happy to assist...

[BennyV]

Ok, Steve (huskyboy610) is the man! Awesome thanks mate!

Geez Marty, lending ur bike to get tharshed and all dirty! hahahaha!
He might not want to ride red!

But if he does, he'll be hooked! and wont turn orange again! hahaha!

Its just an MA requirement to obtain the permit to have minimum level 2 at a practice day.

[Upon-One]

Whats the actual address of track ?

[BennyV]

Aerodrome Rd Bairnsdale.

[BennyV]

OK for all that know Steve has busted his Collar bone yesterday and can't be out First aider - BLOODY CHARLIE!!!!!!!! :evil::evil::D hahaha

[Muzzard]

Still unsure myself
I have to be in here there and everywhere the week leading up to and after the day.
Desperately trying to organise the time though :roll:

[MarkeeMark]

Booked to do my Level 1 & 2 First aid on the 4th November. So I'm it guys, don't crash so I don't need to do anything for you.
I probably wont be riding either as my bike will be on it's way to Perth for the nationals, so will be flagging as well as camera man. ;)
Cheers Mark

[Flash]

On ya mark! I'm do the first aid too but not till early next year.

If I can down there you have a bike to share! :) Not sure if it'd be 125, 570 or 950 atm though!

[BennyV]

Mark, u know u can have a crack on my thing too! I'll bring some spare gear too!
Thanks buddy!:)

We will easily have the numbers to fund the day! So don't worry about that!
There are a few who cant make it due to the National race in W.A (having bike being transported over) and a couple that cant be there due to double booked or breaking bones (steve!) lol :oops:

But we have a fair few extra guys turning up that were not there last time.
Numbers don't seem to be a problem.
The day will be a blast as was the last one!:D:D:D

So if ur undecided, Come on down! Bairnsdale is a super track for motards!


Cheers!

Time for a drive by, quick drag, stap into trailor and drive off and instant pile of orange crap at home :D

Thanks Dood, I'll ring ya to get yer details, might have to be Monday though, friking customers need molly coddling until then..

Oi Sibbo, I'll kick your ass at BM next time, i'm clearing the same jumps as you were after just two rides, well one and a half rides really (i just got slightly sidelined when I overshot the track and cartwheeled into the river) but I'll still kick yo Ass sunshine!

[MarkeeMark]

No worries Murray.

[Upon-One]

Whats a reasonable gearing choice for this track ?

[albonator316]

Its a tight track gear for acceleration not top speed.

[Wobbly]

2 tooth front

[charlie]

2 tooth front
lol:up:
anyone got a spare spot for me on their trailer/van?

[Martyd]

2 tooth front

wouldn't 13 tooth front be enough...2 sounds pretty low and i cant find a listing!!!

[MarkeeMark]

Whats a reasonable gearing choice for this track ?

14/48 is what I used last time and I was getting into 3rd gear on the back straight.

[shitbmxrider]

I ran 14/45 last time, will be the same this time...

[Upon-One]

14/48 is what I used last time and I was getting into 3rd gear on the back straight.

I was taking the corner onto the straight at TT in 3rd when i crashed LOL.

I will drop down to a 15 front tooth anyway.

[Flash]

3rd!!!!! I think you need to change your gearing! Your sure it wasn't 2nd?
I'm in second on the 125 and the 610

[Upon-One]

I was in second mostly, was third with 16/45 gearing and pulled it away clean the lap before i went down, i got little carried away with corner speed/lean angle the second time i tried.

My idea was to carry more corner speed in 3rd and have a less savage exit than in second, i have not ridden any other motards to compare but the Berg is a handfull coming out of slow corners on the tyre edge.
Mark was talking to me about weighting the outside peg, something i must try.

[MarkeeMark]

So as it turns out my bike is finding another way to Perth (on the truck with all the Qldrs now!)
So I'm bringing it to Bairnsdale for a pre Nationals shake down.:twisted::twisted::twisted::twisted:
Looking forward to riding with all those I have in the past and chasin a few more fast mx'ers that Benny's bringin along.

See y'all at the track.

PS Who's going down Saturday arvo?

[Wobbly]

wouldn't 13 tooth front be enough...2 sounds pretty low and i cant find a listing!!!
Get a 13 and use an angle grinder :lol2:

Getting very jealous now :(

[Martyd]

Get a 13 and use an angle grinder :lol2:



will ahve a go tonight...Is it best I leave the front sprocket on the bike and grind it there?

[MarkeeMark]

Update.

We'll be having a bbq lunch, sausage sizzle with some onions, tom sauce and mustard. Gold coin donation please to cover the costs.

Also to the first timers there are it sheds available but no power. So if you're using warmers bring a gennie. The pits are gravel as well so drop sheets are a good idea too.

Dont forget hats and sunscreen if's its warm and plenty of water to drink.

[Martyd]

Update.

and plenty of water to drink.


Red Bull???

[MarkeeMark]

Red Bull???

Yeah and Red Bull. :up:

[Wobbly]

will ahve a go tonight...Is it best I leave the front sprocket on the bike and grind it there?

Of course. If it moves around a little when you're trying it just weld the inside of it to the countershaft :up:

[Martyd]

Hopefully it makes Cornish go faster!!!!!

[BennyV]

[MarkeeMark]

I've also heard a rumour that the current US AMA SM champ and a few of his aussie superbike mates are coming along as well. :twisted:

[Daws]

Hopefully it works out, it would be good to get a few of the ASBK guys out to race SM in the off-season

[ZuluFoot]

I've also heard a rumour that the current US AMA SM champ and a few of his aussie superbike mates are coming along as well. :twisted:

[Grizzly]

hey guys, i know its getting late but is there any room for rider + bike leaving (hawthorn)melbourne, can chip in for fuel. I can organise a bike trailer if needed.

I could fit you in. I would need to make a couple of mods to the trailer this evening to move the bike from the centre to the side to fit your bike in. If you can't find anyone else, let me know. I'm in Pascoe Vale so Hawthorn's on the way.

[kakoii]

[timmy]

Im so jealous of all who are going this sounds like it is going to be an awsome weekend.
If only it wasn't so far away that and work hates people taking time off this time of the year.
Next time.
I look forward to seeing some of the footage, even if I cant go at least I can see how much fun everyone else had :P

[MarkeeMark]

Great day out. Thanks to Ben for running the day and to everyone else that helped out on the day..... Good Job.:up:

A tad warm - but, yes, there seemed to be plenty of grip out there.





And, to Lee, if you're ready this, the bikes finally been out - and it's a ripper.:D
My hands are still hurting from trying to hang on to the thing.

Ash..

[corsa]

Yep, great Day at the 'Dale, :up:

Great shot Grizzly. That's the money shot right there!

[Woolf555]

Just checking through the album, there's some great shots in there. Just about to change my avatar with one. :up:

Awesome day all round. It was a bit warm but not too bad, there was a nice breeze most of the day and when riding the airflow kept me pretty cool. Once again thanks to Ben and everyone else who helped out for the organisation, running of the day and BBQ lunch. Thanks also to Mark for the chamois and bike cover showbags. Well worth the three hour drive down and back.
Great riding, awesome sticky track, BBQ, good people, free goodies, what more can you want?! :D

[Flash]

Well done to BennyV Mark and all the other guys whole helped and supported.
Sorry I couldn't get there.

2 fingers on the brake count?? Will practice with the clutch, just not comfortable yet with only 3 fingers on the clutch side of the bars.

[shane]

try use one on the brake and clutch at all times , use 2 on the brake in really hard braking areas if you have to otherwise just one .

watching the vid you dont cover the brake at all times only in the main braking area you arnt covering the brake at the apex ???

[tambi]

Some sweet photos in there8)

Mark - watching the vid, it looked strange to me seeing levers as I cover the brake and clutch all the time. I've always done it so it feels normal, I don't know if it helps my riding any. I also trail brake a lot (perhaps more than I should) so it works for me.

Trail brake? With the rear???? I noticed your middle finger front brake operation a while back too.

I'm still learning and hanging on for dear life most of the time. So all this info is great and practicing it will be on the cards from now on.

Shane what do you mean about covering the brake at the apex? Why should I be? Is it just in case or am I not doing something that could make it better/easier?

Cheer for the input :up:

[Upon-One]

Some awesome shots there Grizzly, well done.

[BennyV]

Thanks To all who turned up! Was a great day and everyone had fun!:D:D:D

Thanks to Ash who helped me with the BBQ, Mark for getting the Food for the BBQ and the Show bags and DJ Marty on the mike! (the P.A) Also Luke (our MV official) & Lahra (Club secretary) for help during sign in.
U all helped my worrying over getting the day to run smooth! and being able to have a good fang!

A real shame that I had a large number of people confirm that they were going to be there, who didn't turn up. :down:

I'm going to have to do pre-paid bookings until I get numbers to cover the costs of the day next time.

I want to run another in the new year when the silly season has finished. People get inspired with the pics being uploaded! :D:D:D


By the way - how the hell do i get a pic down to 19.5kb and post it on a thread?????

[Upon-One]

I find the easiest way is photobucket Benny, don't need to resize and you can put up large pics of some random dude laying blackies....I wonder who it is. :)

you normally trail the front brake right to the apex as your coming off the brake your getting on the throttle , its also a just in case of thing as well you never know whats going to happen with the other knobs out there :D:D

clutch is the same if you have to stop in a hurry , if your covering the clutch you can do it with out stalling the engine .

get used to having 1 finger on the brake and clutch at all times

Cheers mate, always lots to learn. I love it.

[Daws]

Mark - Like Shane says, trail brake with the front, you'd be surprised how hard you can brake right up until the apex. Obviously as the lean angle increases, the braking force should decrease but once again, you'll be surprised how much front brake you can use when cornering.

[Wobbly]

Rather than posting pics directly into the thread, just upload them to the gallery (go to the gallery link, go to the rides and races album, the last sub album after that should be the latest bairnsdale album). You can upload them as big as you like and then just copy the URL into your post using the little image button. No need to use photobucket or any of the other photo hosting services, you should be able to do it all directly here.

And i'm sure all the boyz didn't mind having Lahra there also!
She gets around on a bike bloody good too! She definatly Showed up a few guys on the track! :roost:

I didn't want to say yes until I was 100% as I had/have a hell of a lot on.
I agree with pre paid bookings I would be happy to do that and I'd also be happy to loose the money f I couldn't make it. You shouldn't be out of pocket at all mate!
