I never said you couldn't win though...The shit thing about this track is that anything can and often does happen...The good thing about it is as a result a greater number of teams have a realistic shot at the prize!

Yee ol roomma mill is thick and juicy the past couple of weeks...will be interesting to see who's all talk

Well done to everyone for a great race on the weekend and well done to Wonthaggi for bringing the good weather!!

Congrats to BYR for yet another race win, and also to Tri-Sled for the overall win.

Does anyone have the final results or know where they can be seen?

Yes, congrats to both BYR and Tri-Sled. What an awesome race. I have to say we are very pleased with our final position. The vehicle was brilliant, the team was great, and wonthaggi is now my favourite HPV track. We stayed in Ballarat last night. We are currently on our way home, just went past Dimboola. Next G internet FTW! Only thing about the race that I was unhappy with was the stuff being thrown on the track around midnight. We had a haybail thrown at us which destroyed our windscreen. Apparently others had tyres thrown at them? I heard BYR had a brick thrown at them, is this true? Apart from that though, we all had a great time. :)

Man, what a race! Came into it expecting a tight one, and by golly, we got it! Well done to everyone for a generally clean race. Shame about the local f :o ckwits chucking tyres & stuff around.

As above.

Great race. (except for the @ssho!es throwign stuff on the road in the early hours of the morning - I hope the law catches up with them) We had a bale or two thrown at us as well, but managed to avoid damage.

I'm particularly impressed with the marshalling 'attitude' this year. Definently a big improvement on previous years. Its good to know that the organisers are listening to teams' feedback.

Lasty, I think congrats to bluebird/barrossa/Daryl (was that the bike name?) - 7 riders, no additional support crew and a HUGE step up in performance. Well done.

Waiting on official stats now - laps, splits, fastest laps and etc. I still don't know whether we got our 5 laps credited back - I assume yes at this stage... A big thank you to the officials for considering our requests/case during the race (along with all the other teams who were inconvenienced by the data problems at the start of the race.)
I'm sure someone will post a link here when the data becomes available. PLEASE!

Not sure about DJ BYR though. I don't think we heard enough sponsor plugs for Bendigo Bank. :roll:

Hey, trike was called Gary, and its un confirmed but the team will most likely be Barossa Bluebird, or Bluebird Bluebird, what ever the two, still gets the message across.

Congrats all winners and near winners. Great race, great effort put in by all top 10 teams.

Love the trike, best trike ive ever ridden. ever.

good work Tru Blu, Triseld, BYR ( btw WTF was with "lets hurlde over pedal prix cars!", funny too watch tho, but mighty stupid.) the harnetty trikes and lastly mr whippy, good try guys :)

My form wasnt to good, but i had a heart to heart with Australias Favorite TV chef Jeff Jans, and even thio he didnt say anything, i could tell by that smile and that cup of orange juice but he belived in me.


I'm happy with Sixth, if we were fitter, and actully trained, i tihnk we could have had a crack at 5th.

btw Tim, how come you didnt ride as much as you usually do? bit sick?


anywho, im happy, couple school kids who dont know the meaning of conduct but that shit is expected.

Good race all o/
