What an eye opener we experienced over there. Went to a track the previous Saturday called Gilmann Speedway, a meeting we were hoping to compete at this being part of the reason we flew the bike over as well as getting maximum track time before we left, politic’s prevented us from racing but what a show very fast, hooked up with a guy called Ronnie Parker and his team (these chap’s finished 4th at the gold cup) they made us very welcome so much so we got lost getting home, at the Gold Cup anything we didn’t have i.e compressor etc we could help ourselves, cheer’s guy’s much appreciated.
The Gold Cup itself had a sit down dinner on the Thursday night with speeches from the official’s, meet a few of the other competitor’s most of them where pretty good to talk to, you could tell the one’s early who were up themselves just like some of the competitor’s in the 4 wheel section here. So on to the practise on the Friday night and out first was the defending champion’s, F%^K fast Palmy is 440 meter’s long it take us 1 minute 18 to do 4 lap’s Wayville where the Gold Cup was held was 530 meter’s long these guy’s went round in a minute 20 for 4 lap’s. Our first lap in our first practise we where going backward’s into the wall (can laugh now we brought it back the right way and carried on) so back to the pit’s made a couple of changes and went alot better in our 2 following practices.
