Whilst it doesn't include Track use, it does include camping etc at MacPark, the event has flexible rides etc around the district for all to join in on. See Colin's Flyer HERE While still in the motions, the powering of the Pit sheds may soon become a reality which will no doubt please all riders attending the Track Days. Power in the past has been "bought in" with a hired Generator for the Major meetings, the Club is now in the throws of organizing a permanent onsite unit. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 26/6/08 The Come ' n Try day went well last weekend with a great group of Motard Riders turning up, but sadly no Road Bikes...... maybe next time when sheez not raining all the night before :) Riders were greeted with a Damp but drying Track so lots of fun was had by all. The small turnout gave us a great chance to try a few ideas to encourage Motards @ MacPark, which Allan n Trish may slowly work on in the future if the Club's keen. So if you thinking of Dirt Bikes on Bitumen. . . keep an eye on the motard racing page.
20/6/08 On Sunday June 22 the MGMC&LCC are having a "Come 'n Try" Day 10 till 4pm. We are limited to the overall number of riders on this day, so ring or text your name & type of bike.

11/5/08
A pretty good weekend
was had by some 120 Riders ( and a few passengers ) at the 'ol Fart's
Meeting for those over 45 years of age. We had capacity fields in a few
groups resulting in some great racing amongst the classes. Perfect
weather always helps, and I do know of a few riders that hope a few of
their peers from years gone by aren't 45 soon as the competition is
getting pretty hot. I guess that same element of competition has
resulted in a few injuries and we all wish any who have succumbed to the
forces of gravity, return next year for a better run at our unique form
of racing. A top show all round, and looking forward to it next year. .

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 9/5/08 A pretty full list of entries for the Seniors meet has been received, something like 110 all up. Now I don't really follow the classes ( except moderns ), just enjoy all the racing but i think we have a full grid in the P3 500cc race, that alone should be something to see. So if ya still ummin n arrin about what to do this weekend.......get you ass out to MacPark, it should be a great show! Scouts catering...yummy . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 27/4/08 Hartwell's Club round was as per usual a great weekend, luckily Sunday's weather fined up so the riders could all nudge into some good lap times. Speaking of which, Ian Andrews gave the 600cc Lap Record a bit of notice putting in some laps of 1:13.5 odd and considering within 8 laps he was into the 14's first time ever at the Track....... I imagine there's more to come later in the year, maybe even the outright of John Tuchyna's at 1:12.72 might be within Ian's sights......Spring time is going to be something to look forward too at MacPark. The MGMC&LCC's focus is now on the Seniors Meeting, and judging by the gossip of interested riders, should be a great show, only 2 weeks away. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 19/4/08 Riders fronted on a fine 25 Dg day for some great hooning at the Track Day. Not a huge turnout which made for plenty of Track Time with quite a few coming back with a good sweat up. Hartwell front up next week so it's going to be plenty of action over 2 1/2 days on the Anzac weekend. Practice starts at midday Friday with Racing all day Saturday and Sunday. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 24/3/08 Over 60 Riders fronted over the Easter Ride Days, the Tracks looking nice and Black now with plenty of riders cutting good lap times, it all should be good viewing when Hartwell come to town over the Anzac long weekend. An interesting happening on Sunday was to do with "Sparking Knee Scrapers" needless to say, "where there's Spark's there's fire".......I didn't see the action myself but......the Club will probably ban Sparky Knee Scrapers, not before time really as not only for the above reason, it's pretty hard to concentrate when chasing riders with heaps of Sparks flaring about the place. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 12/3/08 Track / Ride Days are all go at Easter, also it's a Green light for the up and coming Hartwell and Seniors Road Race meetings. Riders are still reminded to Tape up for fresh stones being flicked about. The Calenders have been updated, see the links above. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 9/3/08 Track / Ride Day March 8th saw the Track now developing a pretty good "Black Line" which hopefully will mean a reduction to the bits of gravel being flicked about. It's certainly good hooning out there so keep any eye on the calender for more events. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 13/2/08 The Track's new layer " looks " good after 2 days of fresh rolling by resealing contractors " Works Infrastructure ", so let's hope with a heap of luck the surface stays put so things can return to normal at MacPark. ( all the natives, including me are getting restless ). Some quiet low level use over the next few weeks ( BYO everything ) preceding a Ridersafe coaching weekend will give us some idea how durable the surface might be. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 9/2/08 The fresh layer of hopefully the last goes down at MacPark, pretty much a full year out of action, it's all fingers crossed, more info soon......
