I want to do one of the Macarthur races this year, but I'm not ready for this one. Perhaps the hill climb later in the year.

I could be up for this, but I will be in a lower grade then you, which means you'll have to be out there earlier. I may enter regardless.

I'm tempted to enter, if Christian doesnt want the spare seat.

I'm entered. I can always drive out as well if more people want to enter. You have no excuse Alex. Tim you have an excuse with that bike of yours, but if you do well on it imagine how you'd go on a better bike, it could be motivation to get a new road bike.

So transport.... As im assuming at least Christian, tim and I are going to be in D grade, and with a 7.30 race start, we will have to leave at 5.30 - 5.45 ish. Google estimates a 50 min trip.

The grades are in, Simon, Tim, Alex C and myself are in C grade. Somehow James has been put into D grade. Alex R is yet to be graded. I don't like the idea of having Simon in the same grade as myself....
This means anyone traveling with James will be out there earlier then required, but it is only by half and hour.

by shrubb face
i think im going to be killed....
edit- actually i might be ok, but only if we go counter-clockwise around the course. That way there is only left hand turns and hence it's just like riding on the track.

man we should have gone there before hand to learn the corners a bit.

Must be all your track racing that's influenced your grading. Crit's don't really suit me anyway, but i'll have to try and do something.

Can anyone tell me what I need to do to race on Sunday since I am yet to be graded?
Posted: 20 Mar 2009, 21:58
by timyone
id say turn up in time for d grade and try nd talk them into putting you there

We need to sort out the transport. Since James and Alex R are in D grade, thats a 7.30 start, will want to be there by 7, leaving here by 6 should do it. I can drive, but I can only take two bikes and two people, that'll include me. How many people can we cram into the other cars, then we can work out the best ones to take.

I'm planing to drive. I can fit two & probably a 3rd pretty comfortably if we pack right...

I'll be driving and can fit 1 other in if needed. Let me know.

Just some brief results from this mornings racing.
D Grade - Alex R 3rd, James F 5th
C Grade - Simon L 1st
So, a successful morning of racing, someone might put a race report up later, but overall everyone performed very well.
