The Broadford Interclub Motocross was run on July 23rd 2006 
Due to some rain leading up to the event, the track was rather wet, but
that didn't seem to slow the fast riders down, lots great racing , very 
few falls and nobody hurt made it a great day, even a bit of sunshine in 
the afternoon

Good to see some Harley club riders making the most of the practice day 
at the dirt track, also effected a bit by the rain, but I believe the track was still quite ridable.

Qualifying Friday 3rd March 

Harley Club member Chris Trounson
Qualified on poll ( 1:43.756 ) for the Superstock 600cc class at 
Phillip Island this weekend. Good effort for his 3rd road race meeting.
Good luck Chris.

Race 1 & 2   Saturday 4rd march

Chris has followed up poll position with 2 wins from 2 on Saturday , with 1 more 
race tomorrow morning.

Great results and we're sure he'll be doing a little celebrating tonight.
Good on you Chris

Race 3 Sunday 5th March

Chris finished his first race meeting at the Island on Sunday with
another win in the Superstock 600 class, giving him 3 from 3. The
3rd race, the first event on the Sunday morning of the World Supers,
saw him with gear selection problems and having to work very hard
to take out the win in the 10 lap race. The gear lever had loosened off
causing a number of false neutrals, and only just hung in to the end.

Even more celebrating we're guessing ,  Congratulations Chris and your team.

Thanks Pete Hern for supplying these results each day.
