The weather was fantastic tonight, with warm and still conditions greeting the big field that assembled for the third last twilight race of the season. A huge split in the A Grade field midway through their race put paid to the hopes of anyone caught out in the back group as strong men like … 
After a couple of very ordinary Sundays weather wise, it was great to have the sun out again at Glenvale Crescent this morning. The Labour Day long weekend generally means slightly smaller fields as the good husbands and wives do the right thing and take their families away for the weekend (or to Bendigo … 
A brief but heavy rain shower an hour before the kick off at Sandown tonight had us a little worried, but the strong winds and some belated sun helped get the track bone dry for racing to start uninterrupted. The cool breeze from the south made it hard for breaks to maintain their advantages … 
With rain still pelting down at 5am, the chances of racing this morning looked slim, but as forecast, the rain dried up as the sun rose, so it was all systems go at Glenvale. The road was still quite damp, but under the expert instruction of Mick Hollingworth and Rob Koroknai the Novice Clinic … 
Luke Davison (Budget Forklifts) won the 2012 CCCC 50km Points Classic tonight in front of a good crowd after a see-sawing race long battle with 2006 Commonwealth Games Points Race champion Sean Finning (Jayco VIS).

A strong and gusting wind from the north made conditions tough all the way round the circuit, and the hard men (and women) caused carnage whenever they … The final Saturday afternoon track race meet before Christmas was a bit low on numbers, because some kids had already broken up for the year, so several families were already on holidays. This race report is extremely late being posted, because immediately after the completion of Saturday racing, I had to rush to DISC … Saturday (11th Feb) saw the return of the Saturday afternoon track racing after the Christmas-January (school holidays) break. Rob Koroknai was the first other helper to arrive, and found a novel way to transport the registration tent down to the velodrome … strapped to the postie bike! There were 34 riders in all – … 
After a brief scare brought on by a light shower 30 minutes before racing was due to get underway, it was all systems go by the usual 6.30pm start time at Sandown tonight. With a light breeze blowing from the south, conditions proved a little too benign for the hardmen to really take advantage, … |
