I've done a few of the interclub rounds (was a member of Preston MCC) last year, but haven't gotten around to it this year but planning on doing at least a couple rounds (I think there's 3 left: 2 at Broadford and 1 up at Winton).

I'm racing this weekend at Phillip Island with Hartwell MCC. They're always really well run events, but the weather forecast isn't looking too pretty. You should try get along, or even race at their next round at Broadford 4-5 August. We've been woorking hard to get more 400's racing so we can have our own race instead of combining with the 125 and 250 2-strokes. Should be hoot :grin:

I raced a couple of years ago in the inters and had a ball!

I've since sold the racebike.

Well, so far, sounds like just me then! I am sure there are a few lurkers out there, but anyways, thanks. I've not done any yet, but it sounds like fun. I'll be at Broadford in June with a black/yellow NC30. Say gudday.

Another thought ... are there any rules on having a camera on the bike during racing? I see nothing in the racing rules to say otherwise. Track rules then?

I used to use a camera all the time, it never bothered most of the marshals.

Yeah, cameras are fine during race meetings, a great way to analyse racing lines, overtaking manuevures, etc. But in reality we use them so we can take the piss out of each other at the end of the day once we've had a few cans!!!

Definitely can't use them at any of the Champions Ride Days, they had to many mates trying to out-race each other which usually ends up in tears.
