When's your next race EPA?

I might come out and have a squizzy and play pit bitch for a while if i'm free.

August 31 at Wakefield Park come along for sure. Mark and Jools will be there also. After that we are back at Eastern Creek for the last round

Marked it in my calendar, if i'm free i'll head down for sure.

Now that the season is over and the bike survived despite my best efforts yesterday in tossing it down the road thanks to a huge front end lose in qualifying its time to strip the motor. This bike will not launch and I get swamped by at least two rows behind me at the race starts. I have fitted a new clutch fibre, steels plates and springs with only a minor improvement. This means that I spend the first 2 or 3 laps getting back to where I was on the grid but then have lost all contact with the guys in front. Either something is wrong in the transmission or I am going to have to change the ratios in the box. The transmission is starting to make some strange noises so that's where I will start.

I also dropped the mains and the PJ to 50 from 60 and the bike ran a whole lot better still not 100% but close enough to pick up 2 seconds. Thanks Jools for the suggestion

Here is a video from the qualifying session. I didn't edit it so after 7min is just rubbish

Is that Easyern Creek ? Looks like there are a few bikes in your class !
I will really try to make it to the Barry Sheene event next year and run in pre modern class .

[epa police]

That's one configuration they run at Eastern Creeks Neal. That's the south circuit 1.8km. There also is the North, GP and the full circuit. The GP circuit is what the Barry Sheene run. its none of the tight stuff around the back of this circuit. That class was GP250, pre mod F3, production p6 250 and p6 251-500cc.

That looks like a fun circuit !  Looks just right for a 250 !     + lots of run off for those boo boo's
My bike is nearly back together , so I will have to get up there for a blast . 
My licence is up for renewal, so i will upgrade to senior national.
Can I ride these events with hartwell membership ?

Nice going.
What camera is that? Go pro? Excellent video and sound.

[epa police]

Condour Roam2 camera Paul. I only just got it a few weeks ago and that was the first time out. Still sussing it out at the moment but its easy to use and perfect for the bike. One big on off switch and that's it, perfect for a glove finger. The battery only lasts 1.5hr as I found out so no helmet footage.
