Bennetts Race 5 2008 – Wrap Up
Written by Hocks   
Sunday, 13 July 2008

Results are up, pdf & excel versions.... Race weekend at Bennetts all started with showers on Friday night Elliot at Bennetts 2008and light showers Saturday morning as we all proposed a wet weekend with more fun being had in the car park than on the track, however, the wind came and the sun slowly dried the mud as cars were parked strategically for a wet exit that didn’t eventuate. With gusty breezes and no more rain, a great weekend was ahead.

Practice on Saturday did see a few spills, a few injuries side lined some who may in fact be out for a few months, once again we urge everyone to wear body armour.

We may start a forum just for selling protective gear, helmets, body armour, knee guards etc, so if you have some to sell, this will be the place to list it and obviously the place to collect some cheaper 2nd hand bargains,.. parents please ensure your child is protected.

 

The sun was out and with no rain overnight a great race day was had and while the occasional breeze lifted to a gale, the starters stayed vigilant and pumped the riders through every 30 seconds, this kept the spectators interest high all day. A few intermissions kept to a minimum and we had the whole race done by 2:30pm which is the earliest we have finished (273 runs were made). Nice to be doing presentations in the daylight and sunshine in the midst of winter.

Bennetts this weekend and TBA Round 6 - August 

Bennets
Apparently the fire road is very slippery; we will need to be smart about parking as we do not want cars sliding into each other. When you drive into the park you will drive up the gravel road to an opening (an intersection + ), if you go left and drive along the pine trees that will be on your left, there is a firmer suface, so drive down that and then turn right and park. You may be able to double park behind a mate, as there is plenty of room. We would like to keep traffic movement to a minimum on the grass, sand and clay areas, so please stay on the tracks and drive cautiously.

We will be bunting the track on Friday afternoon for those that can come up and help, however please be aware that the track will be closed while we are bunting. We also need 1 or 2 volunteers whom may like to camp at Bennetts on Saturday night to be the caretaker/security guard and watch over the caravans contents etc, oh and yes you can sleep in the caravan. We will need some volunteers asap as names have to be given to Forestry SA. . Finally we need someone who has a toe bar and can drag you know what up, you will be rewarded with free race entry, so please ring Chris on 0419-790-122. Please consider this, as it would be greatly appreciated, thankyou.


TBA Round 6 - August
Much hype has surrounded this To Be Advised event and many people put up ideas and the committee tried to arrange a number of events, however due to time constraints for constructing a new track for say a dual slalom event, holding a 4X event or Enduro, we have taken the offer of a supporting the round as a practice day at Mt Torrens (Dazzleland), usually this track is not offered for practice as it is on private property. Therefore the gates will be open for a Sunday the 10th August fun day event with a twist. So as much as you will be practicing for the official Round 7 event, you will be having a race off for want of a better term. Details will be advised as the rules are completed. We will be organising a BBQ day, more details will be provided. I would also like to take this moment to point out that Round 6 was penciled in, in case a previous event was rained out or cancelled for any reason and also that it was never going to count for points towards the state round. Thankyou and enjoy.

All results are now published, click on left hand side <<Race Results>> to go to season results and 2008 overall rankings. Some of the previous years results are not working, so give us some time and we will get to fixing it all up.

The Adelaide long weekend racing at Eagle Mountain Bike Park has proved once again to be challenging, though I would have to say that more and more riders are nailing the course and becoming very familiar with its ever changing route. Eagle presents some tough technical sections and can be not so forgiving, especially for some of the new riders with no B lines to choose. ......Click Read More for the rest and links to results
