With the blink of an eye we are already past halfway of our riding season for 2018 and although the conditions have been extremely dry around most parts of the state we were again blessed with great weather as our  members prepared to have some fun in the sun on their dirt bikes at the Hornsby Club again!

With Series 1 done & dusted, it was time to clear the slate and reset for Series 2. Being the start of a new series, this gave our new members a chance to go head to head & battle it out for points against some of our more experienced riders and also allowed some riders that missed out in Series 1 the opportunity to come back and kick some butt!

In total we had 33 riders attend the day’s competition with good numbers in each class. 65cc had the largest group with 10 riders & 85cc SW was the smallest group with only 2 x riders battling it out for points. Our events included Orange, Bending, Ring Return, Footed Clover, Figure 8, Slow & Minicross. 

At this stage of the year it’s clear to see how far our riders have come, especially those that have been able to attend all the interclub rounds. The skill levels have most certainly improved which was clearly evident during the roped events and there were a lot less black flags being waved which was great for our riders & our club. 

After our regular lunchtime BBQ feast, it was time to hit the minicross track for the afternoon.
We were lucky enough to get some much needed water sprinkled on the track using our trusty old watering trailer which was towed around the track by Luke. This was enough to atleast settle the dust for a short period and helped get racing underway!

There was great entertainment all round...from the nippers testing AND finding their limits around the track to seeing the Junior Big wheels battling it out with some very close racing. The afternoon had it all. Congratulations to all our riders as the day was wrapped up with the raffle prize being drawn and the podium winners being awarded their medals.   

The results for the day:

Nippers - Carl #214, Harper #93, Lorenzo #611, Cooper #18
50cc Auto - 1st Sienna #32
Miniwheels - Equal 1st Nathan #11 & Jordan #751
65cc - 1st Beau #98
85cc - 1st Declan #91, and
Junior Big Wheels - 1st Max #255

Thankyou to all the parents, family & friends that helped marshal, cook, rake...change spark plugs...you name it! without out all your hard work a day like this would not be possible!  

...Check out some action shots here! If you have any photos or videos from the day that you would like to include please make contact with us and we will add them to the collection. 

Our next event is on this Sunday 5th August...Minikhana Rnd 2. After such a great start to Series 2, I’m sure riders will again be keen to pick up from where they left off and continue to score some solid points to add to that championship tally.

We look forward to see you all there again next Sunday. Go Hornsby!

Series 1, Round 4, Club Championship - 01/07/18

Sunday 1st July was the final round of our Series 1 championship and the day was shaping up to be a beauty as we had fine weather forecast for the day and the track was still in great shape after the recent rain during the week.

With so many different round winners so far, today was all about consistency for those who were fighting out the final podium positions in the club championship.
We had 24 riders attend the day with great anticipation and they were eager to practise events for the upcoming Blacktown interclub, chase points for Series 1 and also have fun with their mates.

Who doesn't love a meat raffle? Today we also had a fabulous prize on offer which was a generous tray of snags, chops, steaks, roast & rissoles all up for grabs in a club raffle. This was the beginning of our fundraising effort to purchase our very own Bobcat for track maintenance.

With all the mornings jobs done including buying tickets for the meat raffle, riders were briefed and headed out into 4 groups competing in events with quite a level playing field in all classes. Events held in the morning included Orange, Bending, Ring Return, Figure 8, Accelerate & Brake and Non Footing Clover. 

Most riders placed throughout the day leaving the podium winners a mystery for the afternoon. The groups ran so smoothly there was time for siting laps before lunch.
The afternoon was left for some heart stopping mini cross. I don't think there were two heats alike. Winners changed each race and a great show was put on for the spectators.

The long awaited raffle was drawn at the end of the day and presentation was completed. Congratulations to the following winners
The results for the day:

Nippers - Carl #214 & Harper #93
50cc Auto - 1st Sienna #32
Miniwheels - 1st Nathan #11
65cc - 1st Beau #98
85cc - 1st Declan #91, and
Junior Big Wheels - 1st Dom #224

Thanks to all our parents & friends for the hard work...from cooking the BBQ to marshalling out in the cold...every single bit helps!

Next up we have the Blacktown Minikhana Interclub on Sunday 22nd July which will be held at the Ian Packer Junior Motorcycle Training Complex at Horsley Park. Please click here for online entry to this event. We look forward to catching up with you there!
​Go Hornsby!
